First Game of Season By
a 1920 Count

tons men chalked up their eighteenth
victory out of nineteen starts. This

iors were winning handily from Nor
ton, the Junior High School team,
coached by Brown, triumphed over
the Morton seconds by II to 8
score. Bravinder, high scorer, acted
as captain in the opening tilt.
In the senior high game Morton
assumed the lead and did not relin-
quish it until the very end of the half,
at one time holding an advantage of
81. The powerful Redwood attack
functioned for the first time after the
second quarter was well under way
and with Bravinder carrying the
brunt of the attack quickly ran the
count to 1919 while holding Morton
scoreless. The third quarter opened
with Stockton's aggregation playing
cautious ball while slowly piling up
a comfortable lead. The score stood
at 25-15 shortly before the end of the
game when Stockton made various
changes. A Morton squirt, led by the
brilliant Orth, ran the losers score to
20. Bravinder made good use of his
scoring chances during the second
half while Films floor work was out
standing. Don Laidlaw, at the run
ming guard position, played consist
emily good game. Gerald Albright, a
big boy with no experience previous
to this season, saw considerable serv-
ice and showed promise at times of
developing into good scorer and
floor man. Orth, the Morton captain,
carried the entire Morton attack
while playing an exceptional defen-
sive game. - %
