HIGH" ARTISTS
CRUSH OIL CITY
CASABA TEAMS
Boys win 80 to 10; Girls
defeat seXtet "a to 13;
HGlbrOOk Town squad
gains victory over city
aggregation; Winslow to
invade county seat tonight

Outclassing the Holbrook High
casaba squads with superior brand
of basketball, the local school teams
walked away with the long end of
the scores in two onesided games
Saturday night at the Washington
school auditorium, the boys decisively
defeating the lubricators 80 to 10
and the girls, the lubricatorettes "a
to 13. Both Coach Porter and Miss
Myers substituted some of their sec
ond line players after the regular
teams run away from the oil city
squads, and if this had not been
done, the local casaba artists would
have administered most crushing
defeat to their opponents.
The girls victory Saturday night
was the second of the week for the
Winslow maidens, Williams having
fallen before them in that city on
Friday evening to the tune of u
to II. The local sextet led through
out the Williams game despite the
fact that they were considerably
handicapped by playing on an unfa-
miliar court. The Winslow Maidens
have won every game they have
played thus far this year, and from
the kind of basketball they are play
ing they should have no trouble in
defeating any other sextet in the
conference Their team work is i'm
proving, each member of the squad
foregoing individual honors for the
honors of the team. Barring a de-
feat through over confidence, which
is not an uncommon occurrence with
the best teams, the local seXtet
should wind up their season shedule
in whirlwind fashion.
Two preliminary games were play
ed on the local court Saturday night
before the high school contests; one
between the Winslow and the Hol-
brook Town teams and the other be-
tween the Polecats and the Skunks,
The clash between the two Town
squads, which was won by Holbrook
81 to 27, was a fast, rough and
furious one, both sides evincing not
a little spirited rivalry Holbrook
started out scoring with two free
throws and from then on through
out the contests the Oil City players
led by a good margin, although the
local quintet gained on them during
the latter part of the game At the
end of the first half the score was
19 to s. The local squad failed
with numerous opportunities to run
up a high score through inability
to shoot baskets. The team work
cf the visiting quintet was excellent.
Divelbess was the star of the
game, making more baskets than any
other single player. Porter, Schaa1
and Sutherland garnered number
of points for the local aggregation
In the contest between the Skunks
and the Polecats the former won by
the decisive score of 20 to 0. The
Skunks have three or four lads on
their squads who will make formid-
able basketball players when they
get into high school, They can shoot
baskets now with the skill of q
veteran.
Despite the fact that one of its
best players was out of the game
with a crippled knee, the Winslow
high school quintet had no difficulty
in running up big score against the
Holbrook squad: During the first
quarter the visitors failed to garner
d Single punt, WlulG IllG 1OCdl Live
registered eight. Winslow scored &c
points in the first half as against
two by the lubmcators
With the beginning of the thirc
period Coach Porter sent in some OF
his second line men, and although
they did not make the showing
against the visitors as the regular
players, they were able to hold theil
own against the Oil City boys, both
sides making three points each dur
ing that quarter In the fourth
period Holbrook scored five points
and Winslow Z.
None of the Oil City boys played
an outstanding game. Holm, Jane
way and F. Chase made the mos
scores for the local quintet.
In the girls game Holbrook made
the first score, a free throw Thi!
slieht lead was short lived, however
the local sextet getting under wa!
and piling up decisive lead Whel
the first quarter ended the loca
maidens had made 13 points, holding
the lubricatorettes to the single fret
basket, garnered at the beginning O
the contest. Holbrook failed to re
gister a single point during th'
second period The local squad
however, registered another 13 points
Miss Myers sent in some of he
second-line players at the beginnin!
