by overwhelming score of
Al to 4; Oil City Town
team wins from local
squad in exciting clash
Not content with the 34 to 13
victory which the local sextet won
from the Holbrook six two weeks
ago on the Washington auditorium
court, the Winslow maidens romped
around the lubricatorettes with al
most utter abandon last Friday night
on the Oil City court, crushing them
by the overwhelming score of "A to d.
1t was cake walk for Winslow's
own.
The boys, however, did not have
such a lark in their game. During
the first three quarters they ap
peared to have safe edge on their
opponents although they seemed un-
able to run up score against them
as in the previous clash. In the last
few minutes of the contest, however,
Holbrook showed the unexpected
burst of brilliancy, which threatened
Ito turn victory into defeat. The
game in the last two minutes of play.
resolved itself into a super clash of
basket artistry, Holbrook making a
supreme effort to win with Winslow
fighting ably on the defensive Win
slow won, but it won by. one point,
13 to IL.
A cage battle was also staged
between the Holbrook and the local
town squads, the Oil City giants
carrying off the victory, 35 to "a.
This clash was rough, fast and
local town team was playing on an
unfamiliar court it made as good a
showing against the Holbrook Town
five as it did the preceding Satur-
day night on it's own floor. Haw-
thorne, forward, who did not play in
the game between the two teams
here, made the most scores for the
local aggregation, garner1ng seven
field baskets. Porter and Suther-
land also made two field baskets and
a free throw each for Winslow.
Gardner, forward on the Holbrook
quintet, played an outstanding game
for his squad. He made nineteen of
the 35 points scored by the Oil city
men. McLaWs garnered four field
baskets and Shelly three. Both squads
exhibited good team work and skill
full handling of the ball. Superior
basket shooting won the game for
Holbrook
Winslow High boys squad was
considerably handicapped in the con-
fnc Err1 low Sccl1H I,,A 10 H. Co. -
that two of it's best players were,
out of the game. Janeway having
left school and Tully having an in
jured knee. The lads who are taking
their places, however, are doing ex-
ceptionally we'll considering that they
were not on the regular team and
that they lack the experience of the
first-hne men.
Both the local High boys squad
and the Holbrook quintet fought a
very evenly matched game through
out the contest At the end of the
first half they were fighting neck
and neck, Winslow leading by one
point, 7 to g., In the third quarter
the local lads gained safe lead
which they were able to maintain
until the last two minutes of play
when the lubricators showed their
burst of superior basket artistry and
garnered one basket after another
bringing their score up to within
one of that of the local boys. 1t
looked for a few seconds as if the
Oil City squad was going to turn
defeat into victory. The Winslow
aggregation, however, was able to
hold them from making the need
ed basket.
In the clash between the Winslow
maidens and the Holbrook six, the
local sextet held their opponents
scoreless during the first three
quarters of the game At the end
of the first half the score was
% to 0. Holbrook garnered four
points during the last period
the contest the Winslow
sextet played it's excelling game of
basketball, apparently unhampered by
the unfamiliar court. With each of
its players working in perfect accord
the team played its stellar game ex-
hibiting wonderful offensive and de-
fensive artistry.
Plans are being made to send the
local girls team to the state high
school basket tournament which will
be held at Tucson on February %
and 20 and on March l. The eight
best girls teams in the state are
selected to play in this series which
is fostered by the University of
Arizona, the winner receiving the
championship of the state. The local
sextet has decisively won every game
that it has played thus far his
season, a feat that has not been &C
complished by any other team in the
northern conference and it is doubt
