Caran's quintet Of basketball play
ers broke WaKeeney's record We'd
nesday afternoon in the new gym to
the tune of "a to 19. The score at
the end of the first half was II to
IA IN favor of Hays. The second half
Chittenden was taken out, Grass was
put in as forward and Shade was
made guard. The Hays boosters
feared that the game was lost when
Shade had to play guard for the first
time. Grass and Shade soon got
their bearings and the five did clock
work to the end of the game. While
Shade and Ringe guarded the Wa
Keeney forward to a finish, Pratt,
Grass and Wann played around the
WaKeeney guards. Near the close
OF the game Wann, Pratt and Grass
did some spectacular playing by put
ting the ball through the basket from
the center and the corners of the
court. The game was fast and fur
ious- 1t was the closest call that the
black and yellow quintet have had
this year The line up was: Wann,
center; Pratt and Shade, forwards;
Chittenden and Ringe, guards; Subs,
Grass, forward; Cave, guard
