The first round Of the all-state high
school basketball tournament, held
this afternoon in the University OF
Idaho gymnasium, resulted in Weston
and Culdesac remaining undefeated
Moscow lost to Culdesac, their riv-
ais of the past season, 29 to Is, while
Weston sprung the surprise of the day
by trampling the speedy Coeur
d'Alene quintet underfoot Al to 20.
Both games were hard fought from
first to last and were excellent exhi-
bitions of high school ball
Moscow Drops First
Moscow's five-man defense failed to
stop the scoring attack of the Guide
sac squad and Culdesac came out on
the upper edge of a 29 to Is score.
Close guarding kept the score at a
minimum and in the first half Mos
COW fOuled continually. Nedros was
removed on account of personals at
the end of the first 10 minutes.
The tightness of the Moscow de-
tense kept Culdesac heaving from the
center of the floor, but few of the
attempts brought in results. Moscow
opened the offense and for while it
appeared as though they would take
the game by safe score, but their
offense dwindled and at the end of the
first half Culdesac had swung into
the lead Id to 7.
Rohrman was high point man of the
game, making two field goals and
converting II out Of 13 free throws.
Bumgarner and Mickey played best for
Moscow Bumgarner chalked up one
field goal and converted out of Z
free tosses.
Culdesac was completely lost when
they tried to work through the Mos
COW defense and several times delib-
erately stalled in an effort to bring
the Moscow men from their positions
Weston Takes Second
Coeur d'Alene, reputed as one of
the fastest teams entering the tourna-
ment, struck snag in the Weston
crew and dropped the first game A
to 90.
Weston was easily the superior team
and displayed that superiority in
every department Little was known
of the team from the extreme south
ern end of the state prior to their
big cleanup at the district tourna-
ment at Pocatello, which earned them
the right to come to Moscow
Although Coeur d'Alene played
good clean game they were unable to
dissect the Weston attack, which EN-
bodied the high points in team work.
Coeur d'Alene resorted to long and
risky shots in an effort to tear down
the score lead which Weston was
rapidly building but luck was against
them
G. Gassman. acting captain of the
Weston team. was easily the sensa-
tion of the Weston team and his ex-
cellent pivoting, deadly basket eye
and capable floor work distinguished
him from all others. His work on
the floor closely resembles that of
Al Fox. the Vandal flash, and despite
the fact that guard was his position
he made the greater part of Weston's
points Talbot played a good consist
ent game for Coeur d'Alene, making
four field goals.
When Merrill was ruled out on
personals in the first period Captain
L. Olsen took charge of his Weston
team He played a very good game.
