DOUGLAS GIRLS
WIN z GAMES
HOME BASKETBALL TEAM DOWNS
RENO IN CLOSELY FOUGHT
CONTEST

CONTEST
The crack girls team of the Reno
high school went down to defeat on
their own floor Friday night at the
hands of the girls from Douglas
County high school, The game was a
very swift one and brought out the
superior qualities of both teams.
From the time of the first whistle
until the iron hoop had gathered its
last field throw, contestants were
matching endurance, skill and team
work in their efforts to gain final
supremacy. 1t is safe to say that
during two-thirds of the game the
ball was in the home team territory
and the Reno guards did splendid
work at interscepting.
Grace Brockliss, side center starred
throughout the game by her ability
at covering the floor eluding her op-
ponent and her exact and calm man
ner
Mabel Imelli, guard, proved herself
in spelling the hopes of the Reno
forwards, and her quick recovery
from her opponents marks her as
contender for state title
The clock-like teamwork of the
Douglas forwards, Audrey Spring
meyer and Sophiene Lampe, leaves no
question as to what is to become of
the ball when once at their end of
the floor. Baskets were made de
spite the animated efforts of the Reno
guards. Leona Currie at touch CEN
ter, played a consistent game and
often out-jumped her opponent. Mil
dred Jepsen and Rtbel Hansen, al
ternating at the position of guard,
kept their opponents guessing and
also completely covered. And the
presence of competent substitute
Ada Springmeyer-materially aided
the confidence held by the team.
Ruth Foster, of the Reno team,
played an exceptional game at for
ward and was responsible for ten of
Reno's thirteen points. Frances Hum
phrey at side center also played a
brilliant and determined game.
Following brief rest between
halves, the Gardnerville girls started
with rush and keeping the ball in
action at top speed were able by the
stellar playing of G. Brockliss and
M. Imelli to tie the score at the end
of the second half to 13 to13. This
necessitated an extra session in which
1t was decided that the team that
made the first score would be win
ner.
Springmeyer of the Gardnerville
team gagged a pretty basket shortly
after the start of the extra session
and the Reno girls were forced tC

The final score was 15 to 13 in favor
of Gardnerville. Reno State Journal
of February 4th
Gardnerville boys came near to up
setting the dope sheet and of being
untrue to their cellar-reputation when
they held the crack Reno boys team
to20-15 score during the first half OF
the game, but habit Is hard thing
to break, and the locals slipped back
into their accustomed place during the
second half, and the Reno boys trot-
ted off the floor carrying 1923
vistory with them. Considering the
inexperience of the local boys team
and the improvement made since the
first game with Reno when the score
stood so to 2 the boys have reason
to expect to surprise local critics and
also other high schools in few
weeks. The boys team is to be
commended on their undaunted spirit
of fight to the finish"
Douglas deserves credit for the
marked improvement in their boys
team, their password getting the ball
behind the Reno guards for ten OF
their points. Dettling, Douglas for
ward, located the basket for three
long shots from the field Nevada

Following the game Friday night
an enjoyable luncheon was given for
the teams. Both local teams were
royalty treated while in Reno and
have only words of commentator
for the generous hospitality of the
northern city.

Both local teams were in poor condi-
tion for the games at Sparks on Sat
urday night, due to the strenuous
contests in Reno the night before
However, both teams upheld their u.s.
ual reputation, the girls claiming the
winning score of % points over II
belonging to Sparks, while the boys
although playing a hard and fast
game, were outclased by the superior
team work, weight and experience oil
the Sparks hoop artists. Score;
Sparks, 4S; Douglas, 4.
