Lions Win Over HiIly Billy Girls
Nigh School Defeat Starr School

On Tuesday evening in the
preliminary game the Browning
high school team was just able
to exc out a one point victory
oyer the Starr School independent
team % to 81.
In the main game Of the even
ing the Browning Lions beat the
Ozark Hill Billy Girls team by a
safe margin 80 to %.
The game started slow with
the Lions keeping away from the
Hill Billy Girls and not trying to
run up the score. As the game
progressed the girls took the ball
away from the local boys quite a
number of times. the girls were
dead shots once they gos a set
shot. Although the girls did not
beat the Lions they made good
showing for the crowd that pack
ed the gym. The girls were I'M
able to get the ball on the re-
bounds on account of the height
of the Lions but they succeeded
many times in tieing the local
boys up to the delight of the
crowd. The girls displayed un-
usual shooting ability by making
shots with either hand. and if
they didn't make a basket they
would always come close.
The Lions did not squirt until
the last quarter. In the fourth
stanza the Lions substituted their
mascot Jimmy Elliott who drib-
bled down the sidelines three
times and made 3 sensational one
hand losses. Towards the end
of the game the Lions became
less afraid of the weaker sex and
started to fight for the ball much
to the enthusiasm of the crowd.
