HUG Wins 3 Out of a
From SunfIower
Quintet Wins One Game
While Girls Account
For Two Wins

Didia know that Coach Rogers
(SJC) wanted to swear u a war
rant against Buck Norwood for
stealing the ball away from his play
ers? In fact, in the last game, the
Moorhead players stopped the game
to see how many players were on
the floor. for everywhere they would
turn, they would see a Bulldog.
Steele, Moorhead forward, was held
to IL points Saturday night; Adair
scored IS while Mcdonald scored II
points, Toczylowski, Norwood and
Iovctte scored s, 6 and ? points re-
s%pectively.
The girls pulled a story book fin
ish to defeat Moorhead girls 1880
Saturday night. At the end of the
third quarter, Moorhead had a 9 point
lead; Crawford, HJC forward, then
hit the basket with her clutch" shots
one after another in the final period.
In Friday nights game February
III, the girls gathered an early lead
and held it to win 1912. The boys
just couldn't stop Steele and he rang
up % points, to achieve a victory
H-33 over HJC.
Now ! will not get out on a limb
and say that either the boys or girls
will win out at Moorhead this week
end, but l will say that if they play
as they did against Moorhead the
last games, they have a good chance
of winning out.

Best Basketball DispIoy of Season? 1t Should Be!

No doubt all the students of HJC will agree that
the majority of the basketball games played this year
have been number one thrillers, but there yet remains
the best basketball display of the season to be seen!
This display can be seen at the Sunflower Junior College
gymnasium this weekend, the 3d and 4th, when the
Junior College basketball tournament is to be held. I'm
sure that it would be a worthwhile trip for the students
to undertake. Have you tried to make arrangements
to attend? Another thing | might add is this: If the
basketeers continue the determination and fight to win,
l believe HJC has a FINE cnance at having two cham
pionship teams!
