Coach Toftness is "tapering OFF,
the district % champs by conduct
ing a strenuous 2-hcur scrimmage
session each night after school. Mo
seniors can play and all the junior
high basketball prospects are ask
ed to come and practice with the
squad. 1t is regular spring prac-
tice and is doing the squad world
of good. For one thing it is de-
veloping one man that is going to
be great threat next year espec-
tally in the scoring angle which is
so important to our team. That
man is Conkey who we raved about
last week. This practice is also
making very smooth ball hand
ling club out of the juniors. All Of
them are gaining more poise and
smooth teamwork by these prac-
tices. This tapering off process Is
all right!
Well, well, well. The seniors again
.geat the Juniors! Even after three
nights Of practice the juniors could
not overcome the rush Of scoring
by the seniors. The result Of the
game this time was 81 to 81, and
again the seniors predominated
most Of the game and the margin
was cut only after some crooked
time-keeping which benefited the
juniors by several minutes. hope
the juniors improve. The team
broken up with Walker away from
them does not seem to work SO
well.
BY the way, the team captained
by Ethun won the inter-mural
tournament by upsetting Kringon's
fcllowerers a week ago Tuesday.
They clamped down on Conkey but
in spite of that he vas way out in
the lead of the scorers. In that
tournament some very interesting
games were run off.
This scrimmage practice shall
continue until ba s b all season
starts. The cold weather and snow
furry last week stumped the base
ballites.
In fact, it made some of the more
anxious players quite on the "outs"
with Mother Mature. For more
than a week they had been tossing
around a baseball on the play
grounds or in the school yeard, linn
boring up their throwing arms and
aims. With each throw the itch
to get on a diamond and really per-
form grew in intensity. Then this
sudden snow and cold weather put
their desires into a more dormant
stage again. But they continued to
dream of home runs, triple-plays,
and shut-outs, while Latin or Eng
1ish should have been the minds
occupant. But it was not to be
kept away forever and baseball will
be conducted this year.
A pair of crutches-they were
were bought at q local drug store.
Don't know where they were made.
Were first used for a couple months
by yours truly. Just year ago.
Then Rich Hoffman hobbled on
them for several weeks. That was
last fall. Now one of the johnson
twins Il can never tell them apart)
propells them to and fro. guess
its Henry Johnson. He broke a
bone in his ankle while skating net
long ago. When he is finished the
crutches will wait for the next Sank
Centre high school athletic victim.
