After defeating the local teams in
the tournament at Rupert, the Oak
ley Champs went to Twin Falls
where they again swept off tho
slate eight division champions. II
was here their superiority of tossing
the sphere was demonstrated, which
gave them the opportunity to meet
one of the intersectional teams,
This team was Boise. BY fortune
of the toss-up, Oakley was privileg-
ed to hold this event in it's high
school gymnasium.
No doubt the Oakley tournament
is one of the biggest feathers in
Oakley high schools athletic cap.
Some of the biggest crowds that ev-
er cheered for her champs were
present at the games.
The whistle blew and set the
sphere in motion at eight. Both
teams struggled to maintain the
clean record they had carried
through the season. About three
minutes after the game started,
Oakley led with 80 score. This
was the only time during the game
that Oakley held a lead over the
visitors. The oakley ch;amps
seemed on their feed, although they
fought furiously for the big mob Of
rooters. The first half ended with
a fancy score in Boise's favor.
The second half was the same
kind of game. Boise's boys ap-
peared to be easy winners. They
threw clean baskets from any angle.
Oakley was not playing the defen-
sfve game she had DONE The first
game ended with Boise in the lead
with score of 36 to 23. Oakley's |
heroes lost no courage but gained
speed and team work and felt out |
the visitors for the next night.
The Second Game of the Series
The Oakley boys are famous for
their fighting spirit, which they de-
monstrated Friday night in the sec
ond game with the South Western
Champs, of Boise. Thursday night |
Oakley went down for the count in
n decisive defeat at the hands of
the Boise braves. Friday night, the |
Braves forgot to don their war paint
and were out-played in every depart

The close of the South Central
district basketball tournament at
Twin Falls Saturday night has nat
urally been followed by good deal
OF discussion as to the relative
merits of the different players and
variety of opinion as to which
players should be chosen as mem
bers of a mythical "all-star" team
for the tournament.
While not profession the gift of
second sight, and choosing the play

the actual games of the tournament
sand not creating special positions TO
permit the choice of favored candi-
dates, the writer submits the
following as candidates for team
which, judged by individual per-
formance of the tournament, would
be able to run circles around any
other combination that could be
picked:
Martindale, Oakley, right forward
Martin, Filler, left forward.
Larson, Oakley, center.
Hunter, Oakley, running guard.
Timm, Filler, standing guard.
In my opinion, there is but one
choice for right forward, as Martin
dale of Oakley has no close compe-
tition for that position.
Larson of Oakley is chosen center
and needs no argument to prove his
title to the place.
AS running guard, Hunter OF
Oakley has no peer. He is quick, ac-
tive, full of scrap and plays clean.
