Friday night marked the opening
of the local basket bali season, when
the Ramblers met the fast team
from TiptOnville and the High School
encountered the strong team from
Halls. "A large crowd of enthus-
iastic supporters witnessed the
games and were we'll pleased with
Che showing Of the local teams.
The first game between the local
High School and the High School
from Halls, although one-sided, was
interesting from the first whistle.
The locals were out-classed in every
department Of play except in the
fighting spirit Although outweighed
more than 20 pounds per man, the
locals never quit fighting. The
final score was 81 to Z in favor of
the visiting team.
The second game between the
Ramblers and Tiptonville was even
more one-sided than the high school
game. However, the locals were on
the long end Of a So to 6 score. The
result Of The game was never in
doubt and the longer the locals
nlayed the oftener would be scored
i field goal The visitors played a
much better defensive game than an
offensive game. Never during the
rame did they show any aptness in
Shooting goals. Thirty-one field
goals were scored by the locals with
Mcbride leading. Nine field goals
and one foul goal was registered by
this husky forward Winstead also
had q big hand in the locals scoring,
caging seven field goals during the
game. The score would no doubt have
been higher if the first team had
played the entire game. However,
the 10 minutes that the second team
played practically as much scoring
was done as any time during the
game.
The Ramblers have the strongest
team that has ever represented Cow
ington, and the local management has
arranged games with the very strong
eat teams lii this section Of the
country.
Before and DIVING the games the
newly organized hano gave = concert
shat was thoroughly enjoyed bv all
present The athletic association
wishes to thank the band for the CO.
operation given IN the effort to bring
victory to the two local teams.
