defensive guard game as any player
in nine games the best teams in the
tournament were able to score but
81 points against Rawlins shows the
calibre Of game played by our boys
and especially by the guards. Cecil
is a senior In High School and this
is his first year at basketball. AL
though Cecil did not score a point
for Rawlins during the tournament
his work was just as valuable as that
OF any man on his team as he kept
the opponents from scoring innum-
cradle times.
Raymond Larson
) "Rawlins' sixteen-year-old wonder"
as the Laramie papers and spectators
at the games called Raymond Larson.
the rowing guard OF the Rawlins
team was one of the most spectacular
players in the tournament and at the
same time one Of the most consistent.
He seemed to be in almost every play
and invariably in any mix-up In which
Larson was in he would emerge with
the ball. He was not only strong on
defensive but was also a danger to
our opponents on offensive. In the
Cheyenne game Saturday morning he
established the record for free throws
when he scored W. OF our seven
chances. Raymond is a senior in
High School and this Is his first year
Of basketball.
Kim Beritenstein
Kim B~reitenstein. the diminutive
sub-forward for the Rawlins team is
a senior in the High School and this
is his first year of basketball. Kim
played in the Hanna and Kemmerer'
games and certainly did excellent
work.
Lyndon StrandbearH
Lyndon Strandberg, safeguard and
sub-center for the Rawiins team had
but very little opportunity to show
his ability in the tournament. How
ever, in the Hanna game he. did
some excellent work as guard and in
the game with Worland he played as
center for several minutes and show
ed that there are very few centers
who can get the ball from him.
John EngstrOm
Johnny Engstrom, another midget
substitute on the Rawlins team,
played in the Hanna game and did
some excellent work. Johnny with
another years growth and experience
is going to make a basketball player
worthy to play on any team RawAns
High has ever had. He is quick as
lightning, fairly accurate and only
lacks size and experience to be a
wonderful player.
Coach C. d. Cook
Last but not the least factor in the
success OF the Rawlins High School
"a at the tournament Is Coach CT
ID. Cook. Coach Cook has worked
hard and faithfully with the Rawlins
team and at Laramie he was kept on
the move all the time. During the
entire tournament 1t is safe to say
that Coach Cook did not average
four hours of rest a day. He took the
very best care of the Rawlins bows
and IT Is due to his training and care
that our boys were able to play nine
hard games In a space OF five days.
Coach Cook has every reason to feel
proud Of the record that his boys
made at the tournament, both as re-
CARDS playing and general conduct.
Wrtte-ups of the Games.
For fear that the editor of The
Rawlins Republican might be %preju-
diced should he attempt to write-up
each game played by Rawlins he Is
publishing below write-ups as given
in the Laramie Republican:
Tuesday, March 18th.
RAWlins-H Hanna
Another one-sided contest was
waged between Rawlins and Hanna,
with the game ending 26 to II in
Rawlins' favor. The game was slow
and furnished few thrills. Close
and O'Melia of Rawlins were good
point getters and spectacular players.
The Hanna men show the lack of ex-
perience and the team Is without
stars. Hanna scored first. but Raw
Inns soon took the lead and put in its
second string men.
