GIANTS WIN AND LOSE
IN BASKETBALL GAME

| oooo A"hO u1SA oCuuo1 uOOPStel
came over Friday loaded with dyns
mite. However, they couldn't make
clean sweep as the local second tear
| boys won Is to 13.
| The second team game was a good
clean, fast game and was well wort
the admission price.
Loren Cunningham, playing three
quarters, was the star of the game
making II points. The second team
boys got back into their defensiv,
positions very fast and followed GU
assignments as they had been taught
Moses Lake IS first team started
out like whirlwind. The Coulee City
guards played up too far and Osborn
would get the ball off the back
board and pass to a man under his
own basket with Coulee City boy
ne where near.
Leads 8 to 2
The first quarter found Moses
Lake leading 9 to g. Two new guards
were put in, but this didn't seem
to help and Moses Lake increased
their score to 20 while the Giants
could only add 5 points The half
time score was % to Z.
1t was different Giant team that
took the floor in the second half. The
Giants actually outplayed and out-
scored Moses Lake in the last half,
especially in the last quarter when
the Couleeites rolled in 13 points to
the bewildered Moses Lake ~ 4. Mos
es Lake made but one substitution
and Coulee City three.
The shooting of the Lakeside boys
was spectacular while the Giants
had much difficulty. Time and time
again ball would roll around in the
hoop and then come out. The Giants
showed a great fighting spirit by
their comeback in the second halt.
Makes II points
Ted Osborn, Moses Lake center
was easily the best performer on the
floor. He made IL points, and was
a tower of strength on defense. Ben
ME Jensen ied the local attack RN9sn
IL points. Final score was 38 to %.
This was the first home game the
Giants have lost in Is contests.
Over a year ago, Neppel won from
the locals here, The Giants still have
the honor of being the last county
team to trim Neppel. The Giants
turned the trick two years ago Is to
81, and were nosed out last year in
the tournament in the last minute.
BEAT MANSFIELD TWICE
The Giants journeyed to Mansfield
night and won both games
Of a doubleheader.
The Coulee City second team found
itself behind 2 to 0 at quarter time.
They began to click and widened the
gap, the final score being 27 to 5.
Ted Rice Led with 10 points. Bill
Austin made 8 points in the half he
played.
First Team Game
The first string Giants held the
lead all through the game, pulling
ahead 10 to at quarter, Is to 9
at the half, "a to- IL at third quarter
and A. to % at the end
In each quarter the Giants just
doubled the score on their opponents.
Jensen with IA points, Eggleton with
IL and Austin with 10 did most of
the scoring.
Mckee was high man for Mansfield
with seven points.
Play Wilson Creek
Wilson Creek will furnish the op-
position for the next home game. It
will be played at 1880 p. M, satur-
day, December 10th. The Wilson

les of the year was held at the Wo-
mans club on Monday when the

esses to the club members and 9TH

Guests were present from the

United States To
Coin New Nickel

We're going to have a new nickel
the first in 25 years. The treasury
announced Wednesday that the
familiar Buffalo nickel will be sue
ceded by one honoring Thomas
jefferson, third president of the U.
S. The laws says new nickel de-
sign can be issued only every 20
years. That period will be up on
Feb. 21, Secretary Morgan than de-
creed the new Nickel must show
Jeffersons face on one side and his
famous home, Monticello, on the
other. The exact design will be
decided in a $1,000 prize contest,
Judged by Mrs. Nellie Taylor Ross,
director of the mint and three
sculptors. This doesn't mean your
old nickel will not remain worth
five cents. In time, it may be
worth more as a museum piece.
There are no accurate figures on
the number of nickels in circula-
ton, because small coins are lump
ed together in statistics. But to give
an idea of how important the mic
kel is, the mints turned out 164,832,-
500 new ones last year.

Local Boys In Minor
League Baseball

Coolidge and all of Arizona will
follow with interest the fortunes of
two local boys, Joe Dobson and
Craig Blackwell, whose performance
in the national pastime of baseball
have taken them out of the sand
lot games and into the professional
class. Joe Dobson, a former stu
dent of the Coolidge Union High
school, during his high school years,
was outstanding in basketball and
football, as well as baseball. In the
summer of 1886 he played with the
Tucson Merchants, one of the larg-
est teams in the state, and his out
standing performance caused the
scouts to secure his services last
year for the Cleveland Indians, and
played at Troy, Alabama. This year
his services have again been OBJ
tanned by a league that will train
in New Orleans. And this year, an
other Coolidge High School stu
dent Craig Blackwell will go with
him, having been signed up as
pitcher by Larry Gilbert, manager
of the New Orleans Pelicans.
The local personal record made
by these boys is such as to justify
high expectations in the profess
sional games. Both have the ability
and common sense to take care CT
themselves, neither one drinks or
smokes, or dissipates in any way,
and both of them are real ball play
ers or the scouts would never have
noticed them. Their Coolidge friends
will watch their progress with
friendly interest-who knows but
that these boys will put Coolidge
on the map in the sports world?
