DURANT. Okla.-The Ardmore high
school cagers We're defeated in the dis
trict finals here Saturday night by
Durant high by a score OF 22 to IA in
one Of the hardest-fought games Of the
conference.

Atokans in every phase Of the game,
displaying perhaps the best brand of
basketball flashed at the tournament.
