COUNTY BASKET
BALL TOURNAMENT

Northeast Weld. the Pawnee Sec
tion Jared well In the girls division
at the basket ball tournament last
Saturday. Grover girls were defeat
ed by close score for the finals by
Fort Lupton.
Grover had real games in both her
contests. Her team met the Pierce
team for her first contest in the
morning, and, nosed the Pierce girls
out Of the lead by score Of 35 to
80, the closest Of the day. Fort Lup-
ton had an easy contest TO start
with, Mead forfeiting the game with
them at the end of the first half
when she score stood 10 to 6 In favor
of Lupton.
1t was in the evening that Grover
and Lupton girls clashed. The tri-
bune's account is as follows:
AS the first game OF the evening,
the girls teams Of Fort Lupton and
Grover battled in close, exciting
game, resulting in the former win
ming by score Of 2S to Is. The
first half ended with a score to Z
in favor Of Lupton, but with the
beginning Of the next period 10th
teams began to score more regularly
Fort Lupon established substantial
lead, but in the final minutes Of
play the Grover forwards staged q
comeback which threatened to score
the necessary points needed to win.
Both teams played classy ball for
girls division and their play featur-
ed the whole tournament.
It is easy to conclude that Lupton's
easy game of the morning and Gro
ver's harder battle might have made
the difference in the shape Of the
teams in the evening. Lupton had
nothing to tire them, while Grover
girls had hard one.
Then In the selection Of the all
star team, Grover got four positions,
while Lupton only got two. which
lends color to the theory that had
Lupton played Pierce. and Grover
Mead IN the morning, the score might
have been much different.
Miss Roberts. OF Grover was the
high point getter Of the girls teams.
The all star team was selected as
follows: Roberts, forward; Bradley,
jumping center; Potter, running CEN
ter; and La Porte, guard all Of
Grover. The other two places one
guard and one forward went to Lup-
ton. The tribune gave the Pierce
forwards credit for Icing high class
players.
This shold make the girls teams
that have been defeated in the Paw
nee circuit by Grover some consola-
tion for their defeats. They were
meeting fast team.
The Keota Buckingham contest
was not played. An attempt to play
at Grover through the week failed
because the referee could not make
the trip, and Buckingham failed to
go to Greeley to meet them for the
deciding game. We conclude thi
resulted in a forfeit by Buckingham,
and Keota boys are awarded the
championship Of Northeast Weld,
with Buckingham second.
However, Keota did not fare we'll
in the county contest as the Grover
girls did Gill defeated Keota, and
were in turn defeated by Johnstown.
The latter team made very strong
showing.
While speaking Of athletics, that
the Windsor team has the center Of
the stage all to itself. After win
ming the state championship, they
went to Salt Lake City last week
lad t3pk the championship of the
ky Mountain section in a five
contest.
IirNindsor is tickled, and the Joy
ss not seem confined to Ray Rays
Gtwn either. Greeley and Eaton seem
to be just as pleased, and are ready
to back the Windsor quintet for q
trip to Chicago to try for still further
honors.
WindsOr Is to be congratulated on
her winning team, their neighbors
almost II not quite as fully 10. on
their good sportsmanship.
