SOUTH CANON HIGH
SCHOOL NOTES
(ey HUGH LooAN)
Basket Ball,

Last fridays. c. H. s., basket ball
team defeated the Canon City high
school team in one OF the closest
games that has been seen here for
number of years. The game was a
| fast one, and the playing snappy and
clean thruout. Though outweig GIFTED
by their opponents the South Canon
teams superior team work and fight
ing spirit carried them 10 victory.
Especially in the extra five minutes
of play their team work and spirit
were shown. By brilliant playing
South Canon carried the ball down
the field and scored goal. Durins
the minute after Thompson had been
! injured North Canon tried desperate
/ ly TO score but at no time did the
ball get dangerously near the basket
thanks to the good work OF Thomp
son and Harvey.
IL a player ever showed grit Thomp
son certainly did when he finished
the game after he had been hurt.
Thruout the game his guarding was
or two.
Harvey played well at the other
guard position and to break through
these guards and get goal was a
feat the opposing team seldom accom-.
plished.
Foote at center out-jumped his op-
ponent in nearly every toss-up and
also shot most of the goals.
The forwards. Ackelbein and Mar
tinez. played a fine game. Although
they did not secure many goals them
selves. they We're right in position in
the passing and placed the ball in
position for some one else to shoot.
Their defensive game was also good.
AS whole. the team played fine
game and certainly earned their vic
tory. The school backed the team
well.
