Tight GAME
here MONDAY

Victors over the Rock Springs
quintet Of basketball heros on the
home floor last Monday night by a
score Of % to 1S, the Rawlins High
School team is patiently out after
statewide honors. Rock Springs had
won from the oil city team upon
the occasion Of a visit paid the form
er several weeks ago, and it was
necessary to win this weeks game
in order to clear the path toward
both the district and state champion
ships. We now tie with Rock
Springs in the district series, and a
return match will probably be
staged.
From the first tip off to the final
whistle Monday nights floor was
alive with two teams fighting what
is reported to be the highest, hard
est fought game of the current sea
son. At the end of the first half
the score swung in balance. IL to ~.
Both teams felt the Importance OF
the contest and had entered with
the determination to win. No poss-
BILE criticism car be advanced Of
either side. Swift offensive match
ed only by clever defensive domin-
ated the game-to set the packed
gymnasium Wild! Team play along
well drilled lines OF play was cor
spicuous at all times; and play was
remarkably free from personal foul
ing, II the speed and determination
OF both sides to put that bail thru
the hoop be considered.
Carl Engstrom. playing right for
ward. worked the ball for two quick
baskets the first " or three minutes
OF play. but this lead was soon cut
down BY n basket and n free
throw by the Rock Springs men.
From then on the game belonged to
anybody. with but eight, then 1--WE,
minutes Of play this held true. the
score at that advanced time being
Is to IL. Two free throws awarded
the home team were both made to
count by Carl Engstrom. then .
smooth little baAket By Ed. Quinn
followed by . FREQ throw put the
homo score where II could not be
touched.
This victory gives the local boys
. straight III OF three wins. the
last two being considered the hard
eet OF tho season: Laramie High on
their " door. and Rock Springs
here. Rawiins again plays Laramie
High tomorrow night At the Rawiins
gymnasium. and II IL expected that
this event will attract even more
enthusiastic Interest than that Of
last Monday for the reason that II
victorious. the local quintet will
stand . very good chance for the
state championship. This most
covctcd title Of all was Won last
year by Laramie High School. Will
they bc allowed to keep II this sea-
on. or will II come to Rawlins3 II
Ia understood that certain circles
we'll In touch with sports are swing
ing their support toward the latter
outcome. and predicting II freely.
Let's hope these persons arc right;
lots 20 tomorrow night to see II
they arc.
