The school gymnasium was the
scene, on Saturday evening of last
week, of a rip-snorting basketball
game between Hanna high and Lar
annie high. Within five minutes of
the start, Rider the Hanna captain,
shot a pretty basket from the center
of the floor, which Laramie soon
tied with a field goal. Scarpelli, the
Hanna forward then shot a goal from
the side of the court, giving his team
a score of 4 to 2 as the quarter end
ed.
The secon quarter started with a
foul called on Hanna, Laramie scor-
ing on the free throw, also scoring
two more field goals, while Hanna
failed to score at all. The half end
ing Z to 4 in Laramie's avor.
Hanna took the offensive in the
start of the third quarter. Scarpelli
scoring a field goal, bringing the
score up to 6 against Laramie's z.
Hanna got the ball from the tip-off
n after a series of passes, Rider
scored another field goal, giving
Hanna a n point lead. Again
Scarpelli scored a field goal for
Hanna, giving them a three point
lead, but Laramie refused to be out
done and scored w field goals in
quick succession, which gave them
a one point lead. Pandemonium
reigned as the third quarter ended,
with Scarpelli scoring another field
goal. giving Hanna II to II.
The fourth quarter started with
both teams taking the defensive,
within six minutes Laramie scored a
field goal which gave them a one
point lead. With one minute more
left Hanna opened up a our man
offensive, Rider scoring a field goal,
which gave Hanna the one point
lead. At this point, with ten sec
onds to go Hanna leading by n
point a foul was called which tied
the game making an extra period
necessary. At the start of the extra
period Laramie took the offensive,
and Hanna twice broke up their pass
es and carried the ball to their own
basket, only to miss W pretty set
ups. The period ended without
either side scoring, making another
extra period necessary. This period
started with both teams playing a
good guarding game, and after about
two minutes, Lehti, Hanna center.
shot a pretty basket. making the

Again Laramie tied the score on a
from the center of the floor.
At this point the crowd was in an
uproar and it still seemed that
Hanna would win, as they were hav-
ing very little trouble with Laramie's
defense, using short shots and short
passes to good advantage. With one
minute to go, Hanna again worked
the ball in scoring distance and took
a two point lead on Lehti's basket /,
inside the foul line. Just then Lar
annie called time out for substitu-
ton. When play was resumed.
Laramie shot a lucky basket two
thirds the length of the floor to tie
the score: with about twenty sec
onds to go, Laramie again shot a
basket over Hanna's defense, giving
them a two point lead.
On the next tip-off Laramie got
the ball. but Barton, Hanna's guard,
broke up a Ass and dribbled down
the floor for a pretty basket, but
alas. the whistle blew just before
the ball left his hands. This was
the fastest and cleanest game ever
seen on the Hanna floor. The teams
were evenly matched. Zach making
nine field goals, while Laramie scor-
ed two points on fouls. While we
may not win the state tournament.
we expect to give some of the best
teams in the state a battle. Mr..
Shraeder of Hanna is to be compli-
mented on the fine work he has done
with the boys this season and all
Hanna will wish him and the team
the very best luck at the tournament.
Preceding the boys game. the
Hanna girls met the Rawlins high
school girls in a basketball contest
Saturday evening. the Hanna girls
winning by a score OF l6 to o.. The
Rawlins girls were no match for the
Hanna girls. the ball being in Hanna
territory through most all of the
game. The two Wright sisters, for
wards for Hanna, scored eight points
each for Hanna. While h Hanna
guards were holding Rawlins score
less. Pearl Nelson. ann center.
and Leona Tate. assistant center. did
some good work. continually break
ing up Rawlins passes. We regret
that there Is not n tournament at
Laramie for the girls as well as for
the boys.
