W|NSLOW HIGH
DIVIDES HONOR
WITH NORMAL
Lumberjacks defeat Coach
POrter's cage men 19 to
IS; Sextet wins from
Mans in close game;
Squads off to Northern
Arizona Conference

Flagtaff Normal and the local high
school divided honors in their return
cage battles Saturday night in that
city, the Lumber jacks winning from
the Wlnslow quintet 19 to Is and the
local girls defeating the Mans 20 to
19. Although the scores of the
clashes were close, both games were
slow and uninteresting on account of
the many fouls that were called. In
the boys contest alone a total of
28 fouls were called by the referee,
l.. B. Britt, of Williams.
In the clash between the quintets
the Lumberjacks outplayeG the Wins
low lads during the first half but
in the last the local hasketeers out
fought the Normaites scoring more
baskets than their opponents. The
lead which the Flagstaff squad had
gained in the first two quarters,
however, was too great for the high
school cage men to overcome. In the
first quarter the Lumberjacks held
the. Winslow lads scoreless and at
the same time garnered six points.
During the second period the Normal
squad increased its lead to nine points
as against two points gathered by
the local boys.
When the third period opened Coach
Porter's men warmed up to their
game, something that they had
failed to do during the first two
quarters. Undaunted by the lead
which their opponents had gained,
the Winslow basketeers fought the
Normalites to standstill, each side
making seven points during the
period.
The high school lads came back
strong in the fourth quarter and
outplayed their husky opponents, ex-
hibiting superior defensive and of
fensive team work. They tried des-
parately to overtake the Normal
lead, but they had failed to get into
the game until the odds were too
great against them. The local bas-
keteers garnered six points during
the last period and the Normal three.
Winslow lost and lost through fail
ure to get into the game from the
start.
Brilliant playing on the part of
the high school maidens, which has
marked most of the games on this
seasons schedule, was conspicuously
lacking in the sextet clash Saturday
night. 1t was clearly evident that
the Winslow girls had not recovered
from their exhausting games at the
state tournament They lacked their
usual pep seemed tired and worn out
During the first three quarters of
the clash the Winslow sextet were
able to keep small lead over their
opponents. In the fourth period
however, the Mans displayed bril-
liant streak of playing, overtaking
the local maidens and gaining a
three point lead on them. For
time it looked as if the high school
girls would be defeated. In the last
few minutes of play both LaPrade
and Proctor rose to the situation and
made a basket each, winning the
game by one point.
Winslow High squads left this
to take part in the Northern
Arizona High School Basketball
Tournament. which will be played
at Flagstaff today and tomorrow It
is expected that seven teams will
compete in the meet. including Pres
colt, Jerome, Clarkdale, Emerson,
Williams. ST. Johns and Winslow.
Judging from its easy victories the
ST. Johns quintet is perhaps the
most formidable contender for the
Northern Arizona championship. This
