Activities on the basketball court
proved very successful for the pur.
pie and gold exponents last night.
Just as the C. H. S. girls were tying
the score 8 to l5 in hard fought
game with the girls team from the
Lawton high word was received ov-
er the telephone to the effect thar
Coach Reese's regulars had defeated
tue Guthrie aggregation by a score
OF 81 to 26 on the latter's court;
ana soon after this message was re-
ceiyed the c. II. S. Scrubs blasted
the hopes of the Ireton cagers to
the tune Of 81 to 2S.
Last nights engagement at Guth.
rie was the fourth conference game
played by the G. II. S boys first
team this season. They have been
successful in three of the battles.
their only victor being El Reno high
who defeated them by II very close
margin. Those who played in the
game at Guthrie last night were:
Richardson and Fields, forwards;
Green, center; Adams and Smith,
guards. Drisltill made the grip as
substitute.
Girls Battle Tie
From the first few minutes OF
play observers predicted closely
contested scramble in the girls bat
tie. chlckasha led out with tvs
goals from play within three min
utes after the starting whistle blew
but Lawton was not far behind In
registering a successful goal which
Was soon followed by two more 1t
was very mach like "A game OF see-
saw from then on to the end OF the
first half when the score stood nine
to ten in Lawton's favor. In the
second aalf neither team was able
to get more than one point in the
lead. AT the middle OF the haf
the score board registered 12 to Il
in favor of Lawton, when goal
from play by Lawton ran their score
up to Is and a free throw and q
field goal on the part of c. H. S.
tied the score.
When the final whistle blew the
score board still showed tied score,
neither team being able to throw
ringer during four hard and fast mni-
uees of play, and Lawton refused
to play off the tie.
1t might be said Of the visitors
that they had two excellent forwards
and two unusually good guards and
a couple of good centers, which by
the way, is another way of saying
that their team was one that should
be classed among the high school
"top-uotchers.' Everyone knows
what kind of players the c. H. S.
girls are, even if some OF them did
not show the skill and aggressive
ness in the game last night that
they have evinced in former games.
Seconds Victorious.
That one would have to go a long
way to find a faster game on any
high school court than was played
between the c. II. S. seconds and
an aggregation from Ireton last night
was the opinion OF fans. While
there was not a superfluity of
genuine team work in evidence
there was plenty Of pep throughout
the game The visitors were some
what taller and heavier on an average
than were the locals, but it was
purely another case of making up
in speed what they lacked in size,"
on the part of the latter At ole
eime. aboue the middle of the second
half, prospects for victory did not
look so overly bright for the scrubs
for reason that their opponents had
gained a lead of six points and for
several minutes they seemed to be
unable to score further, while time
went relentlessly on. Four minutes
before the final whistle blew, how
ever. the locals tied the score and
gained one-point lead soon there
after. When time was called they
had thrown one more goal from
play and had beaten their opponents
