That there IS still very promising
prospect for conference caging cham
pionship for the Chickasha circlers.
was well demonstrated last night when
the G. II. S. court team won an easy
victory over Enid. But If there were
any great differences in the quality Of
work dispayed by the clashing strings
and If the meet appeared trifle one
sided from the start, it was not due to
any lack Of skill and dextrous team
working OF the visitors, but rather the
excelllng brand OF all star efficiency
in ringing maintained by the purple
and gold With the idea Of redeem-
ing their position at the head Of the
Central Conference, the home men sur
passed, by far, any of their previous
form and led the strong. r. H. s. line
up from the first blast with compara-
tive ease. At ne time during the play
was the Chickasta lead endangered
though the Enid High kept up STUB
born opposition throughout.
Locals lnvincibIe.
On the opening jump. the locals
rushed the ball into the vicinity Of the
chickasha goal and through their abil-
ty to Judge advantageous stations soon
started an account that multiplied hap
idly. Gardner. Hill ard Griffith opened
the loop fire and in spite Of the praise
worthy guarding and united defensive
Of the Enid High school, the telling
superior science OF Coach Threlkelds
men lodged ain ever increasing advan-
tage against the visitors. During the
first half, Gardner tossed five field
goals and one foul, Hill five field
goals, and Griffith three field and one
foul goal bringing the c. H. S. first
stating up to twenty-eight, while only
seven counters had been credited to
Enid, four by field goals and three by
free throws
Score at VIII.
With the starting Of the second half.
Chickasha's mastery Of her northern
opponent became more evident. Hill
and Gardner scored almost at will. In
the successful tossing Of free goals
the e. H. s was notieeably strong, fail
ing in but very few Of the attempts but
in the last division especially, proved
fatally weak at guard. BY evading the
blue and white defensive, Hill by his
excellent footwork, led both aggrega-
tions in last half scoring by ringing
five goals from the field. Gardner fol-
lowed with three while Griffith finish
ed the locals fifty points by two field
and two foul goals. Capt Riddle and
Wilson showed their best guarding
form Of this season.
Star Performers.
Lee and Minton, at the invading
front post, were probably the most ef
fective ring tossers for the Enid CO.

up to the highest standards Of a con-

Girls Game is Closest This Year.
In decidedly the closest fought game
played in the G Il. s. gym this year
and one in which the score remained
stationary throughout the entire tims
with one point registered by each side,
the Junior girls finally increased their
forwarding speed in an added il1ree
minutes and defeated the Freshmen.
81. Both teams seemed strong. una
