LAST EVENING

In the first basketball game OF
the season which was played last ev-
ening at the High School gymnasium.
Rawlins High School easily defeated
the Lyman High School, the final
count being 81 to Is in Rawlins' IA
vor. For being the first game of the
season it was a good game and 1t
was played before a fair sized crowd.
however, there is lots OF room for
Improvement in both the team and
the crowds.
The teams came on the floor about
$40 and the game began about $40.
AS would be expected both teams
were up in the air for the first few
minutes and 1t took a short time be-
fore Rawlins began finding the bas-
ket. Rawlins' first point was check
ed up when Monahan shot the first
foul which had been called on Max
field, the Lyman left forward.
John Engstrom. Rawlins right for
ward and one of the best players on
the team, soon had the scoring ma
chine in order and began rolling the
ball into the basket. Although he
was covered by two or three men
most of the time, he worked the piv-
OF 10 very SOOu duNdhtab' Nv hiaoV
five field goals and two fouls in the
first half. Monahan, who played
center on the Rawlins team, started
off the game by getting the tip but
as the game progressed he lost the
advantage and the Rawlins team fell
down on their signals. Monahan
made three field goals and n foul
in the first half. Thus. the score for
the first half for Rawlins was 10.
Maxfield. left forward and Brad
shaw, left guard for the Lyman team
made n field goal each. Out Of six
attempts at foul shots. Lyman made
tour goals making the score at the
end of the first half for them s.
Rawlins In the first half was cas-
lily the better team and had the ball
under the Rawlins goal most of the
time. Considerable time was lost
by the Lyman team by holding the
ball at Rawlins end OF the floor
the Rawlins defense showed up es-
pec'ally good all through the game.
Score at the end of the first half
Rawlins 10, Lyman S.
Shortly after the third quarter had
started Coach Bolkan put in his
Mnplt team VI Huhn'AAAN'ns h' SUI
stitutes as n general whole played n
fair game but showed the lack of ex-
perience and team work. Bus Rem
die showed up good in the right for
ward position. young" Engstrom
and Ruel johnson both had n chance
at the left forward position. Win
ston played center and Bob" Bates.
Gus Larsen. and Truilllo played
a.. -. --.H.E..., -, ,la "a. Iatft o, . 4.
lineup. The substitutes held the Ly-
man team down to only n few points.
with only three minutes left TO
play the regular team replaced tho
substitutes.
The Rawllns team shows prospects
OF having nm excellent tcam this sen
son and as soon as II gets down to
working. training In earnest, and
working ns n team, II should have
no trouble in making n big cleaning
for the rest OF the season. Pappas
and pat Bates look very good In the
guard positions. Monahan will make
an excellent center and EngBtrom
and Walter Olson make a good COM
bination OF forwards.
Both teams played n clean game
and there was no attempts at playing
rough and dirty. Lyman can feel
proud OF its basketball team and Il
should account for itself In n credit
able ann at the state basketball
tournament.
Harold Close refereed n very good
game. in fact he showed up M one Of
tho best referees that has been in
Rawlins for many years. His work
was fast and square and Rawl'ns
will not have 10 look my farther for
n referee for tho basketball games
this year.
The lineup was az follows:
Rawlins Lyman
