Endowed with much more enthusi-

Chickasha High school basket squad
and showing throughout the entire

with the locals in the high school gym
last night, then in the additional five
minutes which are provided for in The

command Of floor than was credited
them in the initial engagement here.
On the other hand, however, chicka-
sha's defeat was BY no means due to
any diminution Of zeal for victory on
the part Of G. II. S, men for the purple
and gold took the lead from the very
start and maintained a neat margin
over the huslder team until the last
few minutes play. Excitement ran
very high as the scores slowly ap-
preached the tie mark and each quin-
tet labored like Trojans to turn the
tide its way, During the last two min
utes OF the regular game and the five
minutes allotted to the breaking OF
ties, excitement probably ran higher
than has ever been evident on the
home court An unusual defense held
out by either side held the count sta

offensive however, and were playing
with greater dash and determination
than we're the Chickasha cagers. In

men, the invaders shot two baskets
thus breaking even with the home ag-
gregation in the dual performance by
coping the last encounter by score
Of 32 to 2S.
Stellar Performers.
Those scoring the greatest number
Of points for the visitors were Bien-
doris, the Oklahoma left forward, to
whom credit is due for a large per
cent Of the 0. H. S. tally Fisher the
other Oklahoma forward also showed
excellent skill and was likewise re-
sponsible for much Of the winning to-
tai Gardner again proved the princi-
pal scoring machine for the Chickasha
squad, piling up eighteen Of the total
twenty-eight points made by Reeds
men. Griffith did practically all the
other goal shooting for the home clan.
Hill and Riddle at guard maintained
probably a more determined defense
than on the night previous but could
not counterbalance the surprising inn
provement in the opposing five. Har-
ris kept up an admirable offensive but
was guarded more efficiently than in
the previous meet.
Considerably more fouls were called
but no rough play was in evidence,
Notwithstanding.
The lineup was as fallows:
Chickasha- Griffith. center; Gard
ner. Harris, forwards; Hin, Riddle
guards.
Oklahoma johnson. center; Fisha
Biendorf. forwards; Ledgerwood. B
ger, guards.
No substitutes we're used. u
