Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1921-03-24

Had it not been for the superhu-
man efforts and careful guarding Of
Beason and Spencer in the first half
of the Mingo game. that team would
have piled up such high score the
handicap could not have been over
come. Both girls proved 100 per
cent efficient.
Dorcas Anderson was declared by
everyone to be head and shoulders
above any player on any of the
teams taking part in the tourna-
ment. Her accurate eye for throw
ing baskets caused the spectators to
call her "Lottie''-because she made
such lot of baskets.
The most difficult problem in re-
| porting a game is to give full credit
to the individual players. A star
| player on any team is unable to
| perform unless she has team work
| behind her. But our girls are all
such modest girls they share the
glory of victory equally.
The girls comprising the team
were compelled to live on a light
diet from the time they reached Des
Moines until the close of the tour
nament After they had won their
victory Saturday evening. Supt. Nc
Intire was almost "mobbed" when
he suggested eggs and toast.
The Reinemund Hardware Co. is
progressive firm. They made a
special feature of the silver cups
and the ball in their display win
dows together with all of the dope
on the game. The excellent ar
rangement of the display has been
the cause of much favorable COM
ment.
Arnold Spencer was an iterested
spectator at the games both days,
giving his sister, who was one Of
the players, word of encourage
ment at every opportunity. Bob
bic was there and over every game,
remaining until the finish to enjoy
the fruits of victory. He is an Ames
student.
There was plenty of pep in the
Audubon pep corner Saturday after
noon and evening. No less than 40
Audubonites were there to witness
the six-cylinder team perform, and
be 1t known that every cylinder was
working to perfection. There was
but one steep grade in the road and
this was taken on high after pass
ing the Alto intersection.
or course ii made Pete Dennis
lot of extra work to keep the score
board but he had the satisfaction Of
knowing the people appreciated his
progressive spirit. There was a
generous donation made to defray
the expense of the telephone calls.
Then there was BY" she had to
keep cool headed in order that bus
mess might continue in its usual
way. And she is as good booster
as we have in town.
Ray McIntire. student at Ames
college, saw Fridays games and re-
NAMED for the early game Saturday
morning. He was compelled to leave
on account of playing with the "Cy-
clone Eating House" team that day.
His team won loving cup for win
ming six consecutive games, and an
other cup for winning two games in
the Intra Mural play. Ray played
full time in all of the eight games,
which are quite important, insofar
as II concerns Ames college.
NJ. l. Masterson Is used to excite
ment for he could enjoy the games
without losing his head. Pearl Rein
emund, the Shupe brothers and
their father are different. They
yelled themselves hoarse. and even
threw their hats in the air. George
Gore, his wife, son and daughter
were Just as bad. Then the way
Marion Bagley, May Mclaughlin,
Edith Phelps and Lucille Rutherford
Joined in the chorus proved beyond
question of doubt that they hadn't
forgotten their high school days.
The Republican is disappointed
this morning, and words fail to adj
equately express our feelings. We
ordered cut made to publish in to-
days paper giving the pictures of
the team and their coach. A tele-
phone message from the engravers
in Des Moines informed us that the
picture had been received but our
letter with full instructions had not
reached their office. consequently
The Republican will have to content
itself with the write-up alone. It's
time for that Rip VanWinkle yell.
