The Delta independent., 1925-03-20

the final score was GIenwood 28,
Fruita 25 This eliminated the Fruita
girls.
On Saturday afternoon the Cedar
edge and Gunnison boys went on the
floor an. for some time it was a
speculate as to who would be the
winner. However, Cedaredge succeed
ed in keeping in the lead almost all
the way and We're victorious, the
score being 81 for Cedaredge and %
for GUuaison.
This lelt Cedaredge and Glenwood
each wirh a game won and it was
necessary to play a winner so at c
O'Clock Cedaredge and Glenwood put
on game which was fully as excit-
ing as the former ones had been. No
one could guess from minute to min
ute who would be successful and
when the final whistle blew, Cedar
edge was points ahead. This elm
mated the GleHwood boys.
When the evening games came on,
all the teams except the Delta and
Glenwood girls and the Cedaredge
and Gunnison boys had been elimin-
ated.
Owing to the fact that each of the
girls teams had won two games and
lost none it was agreed between the
coaches and the officers of the asso-
citation that one game would settle the
winners So they went to battle at
$40.
Never i'm the history of our High
School building has the auditorium
been SO completely filled Every seat
was taken. 200 chairs were brought
in from outside, and every inch of
standing space in every door was
taken. more than 1000 people wit
messed the finals and many were sent
away because they were unable TO
see the games.
Thers had been many close games
during the tournament but none of
them eClipsed this one between the
Delta and Glenwood girls Pandemon-
ium reigued from the time the first
whistle was blown until the last few
seconds Il would have been just as
safe To guess one way as the other
The Gleuwood girls played a wonder
full game and it took a wonderful team
to defeat them. One thing which
made &c more difficult for the vic
tors was the fact that one of their
star guards was fouled ont in the
third quarter but the real score was
the work of the free basket throws
Of Mary Covert who took nine out OF
eleven chances on free throws. The
work Of Marian Lewis and Ruth Suth,
erland, jumping and running centers,
was superior while Eva Rogers and
Annie Richards was Just as fine in
their own respective places as guards
and Dorothy. our own all-around for,
ward was always sure to intercept
the ball when it came over center. AS
time went on the excitement was
more and more rife, the din could be
heard for blocks away. When the
last shot was fired and the fans rea.
lized that Delta had won the cup there
was a wild demonstration which con-
tiuuEi for fully ten minutes. Delta
had won the cup by score of 80 to
81 points.
The boys cup was still to be TAX
en- and whether it should be Cedar
edaa or Gunnison was now to be de,
term.ned. 1t was the opinion Of the
critics that Cedaredge had Just as
good a team as Gunnison but these
bow had finished a game two and a
haf hours previously and We're not
in as good condition as their oppon.
