Windsor Defeats DeavertOwn
Deavertown's Wildcats came to
Windsor's wigwam and went home
with an $40 arrow through their
ribs. The game was played here
Friday night.
Delmar Medley's shorties gallop-
ed around in pony fashion to show
the wares of the future generation,
in some snappy ball exchanging for
youngsters Few observers realize
the Importance of teaching the
youngsters basketball wisdom in
the junior high years, so that some
foundation is available to build up
on in the senior high school. The
shorties played an exhibition game
among themselves. The reserve
game was disappointing for the 10
Gals, although DeavertOwn deserved
the 1925 win over Windsor, since
the visitors out played the Indian
reserves the first three quarters.
| The score at the half, 21-7, makes
clear the Wildcat superiority at the
half post Deavertown's Thomas
and Cohagan, guards, kept the local
boys jittery by sensational long
shots during the first half. That
| Windsor awoke during the fourth
quarter is seen by the score 25"1
at the beginning of the fourth, and
the final score of 1925. This game
was not as rough as the varsity
| game, since Cohagan of Deavertown
was the only man guilty of three
personal fouls.
| The varsity game began as usual
with the oneetwo and inthe basket
play that is the local boys delight
The first quarter was nip and tuck
| 81, with Windsor having only q
Itwo~point margin. Deavertown gave
! a lot and Windsor waited to see
what the giving would develop. Not
very much impressed with what
! Deavertown had to offer, the "Ad-
| ding Machine Trio" Patterson
| Adrean and Bailey went into ac
ton. The score jumped to 1918 al
| the half. Brooks. coach of Deaver-
/ towns Wildcats jerked Reese
guard, because of three personal
| fouls
| Windsor's technique was the us
iual under the basket set@up shots
The local boys tried 60 Of these
and 81 Of them clicked. Deave"
| town tried % short shots. six OF
which tailed. Windsor's long shots
! five of 5 clicking, were superior to
| Deavertown' 10 successes of 43 at
| tempts Windsor came out on tor
again in the free throws. making
nine of her II, in comparison with
the eight in IS record of the visit
ors Windsor's superior advantage
| of five men working for each other
and for the game is obvious in these
score comparisons The one factor
of unselfish cooperation is probably
the deciding factor in Windsor's
success this year
The end Of the third quarter
brought the score to 63-2S. Mar
tin, Windsor coach, thought the var
sity needed a rest, and jerked four
men. The second stringers carried
on, with Virgil Mcpherson, re
naming varsity guard. No local
| how went out on fouls during the
game, but briggs and Linger, visit
ors, were given a one way ticket by
Downing, referee.
