unison and consistency that can bl
attributed to nothing less than care
ful coaching and excellent team work
Captain Griffiths speedy aggregation
completely outstepped the basket fiv,
from III Reno on the High school court
last night and incidentally rounded uT
a count disastrous to the visitors to
the extent of 50 to 21 From the in
troductory tap, the Chickasha High
school quintet. by sheer superiority
at the central position, kept the play
for the most part in local territory
while a more efficient guard continued
by Chickasha prevented El Reno'g
scoring when the opportunity was pre-
sented. On account OF their forward
ing abilities being effectively curbed
by the equally strong guarding Of the
purple and gold, the northern team
was unable to parallel the impelling
force of the home court artists. Neith-
er lineup failed in cooperative play
ing but on court with which they
were familiar, Reeds could not ignore
such advantage and with a much sur
er footing and more dependable knowl-
edge of the grounds, the C. H. S. CO.
horts did not permit the results to re-
main long in doubt
At many times during the play,
there could be but little distinction
made in the quality Of work demon
strated by the two clashing squads.
At one time, by temporary improve
ment in joint action, on the part OF
the Reno High, there seemed a posi-
bility for the repetition OF the last
game played here with the MetropoIi-
tan quintet but always by renewal
Of the offensive, Chickasha maintained
an almost uninterrupted succession of
basket throwing During the opening
many fouls resulted from
overeagerness on the part OF
both the El Reno tossers and Coach |
Reeds men in advancement for
shooting position but these were soon
diminished by the exercise of more
caution.
The El Reno team is by no means
acking in aggressive ingredients and
he brand of ginger displayed by the
would do credit to any
school. Bates and Stock, at forward,
scored practically all the points for
he invasion, while Schooling, guard
ng for El Reno, was equally as skill
nl. Gardner and Griffith were the
nen Of the game as a whole, the for
ner netting twenty-eight of the total
:. II, S. count of fifty-two, while the I
after was liable for fourteen Of the
amainder. Riddle and Wilson con-
tituted a formidable and practically
guard while Hill, tried
ut for the first time at the front po.
ition, proved not unworthy of the
erth.
