arranged.
Promptly at 6 o'olook tbe guests

With basketball season over
and tbe players' togs packed away
ior the summer, it is in order tbat
a resume of the most successful
basketball season evsr held on the
local court ahonld follow. We
will reckon this week with the
"Y" league which proved ao in
tsresting in its first year. Every
team in tbe loop beat every otber
team at least once during tbe
race. Every team was ic first
place at some time and every
team in the league had au opportunity of beiog league champion
until the very last nigbt of the
schedule. This is the tightest
obsse that any league in the county enjoyed during the past season
and the local league officials can
well ba proud ot their showing.
Sitman's and the champion Fur*
niture Store teams finished tbe
season with one victory better
tbao an even break, while Goldberg's and Cook's came along
with one victory shy of an even
break.

Sitman's Cowboys       7        5

Two ot the games were won in
extra periods. Two tsams nosed
oat single point victories, tbree
two poiot margins, on* three
point edge. Four were lost by
tour point, three five points, two
six points, and one seven and one
eight point victories were recorded in all. Nineteen out of twenty-
four games were decided by eight
points or less. Tbe startling significance ot tbese statistics can be
appreciated when one considers
how varied the field to pick from
was in experience. All former
combinations were broken up so
tbat every tesm bad to make
tbeir style ot play. "Ken"
Weigbt, with several assistants,
divided the teams up and incidentally "Ken's" team finished in
a tie tor last place. _m_
In the individual scoring "Sec"
Hollen outdistanced his competitors with a ssosational scoring
streak during the last eyole, and
in whioh time be averaged 17
points per game. "Inky" Lindemuth was second, and K. Miller
third, followed by Bupp, Weight
and Carr. Several comparatively
unknown players came to the
tront in the scoring department,
most notably of them being Ralph
Fields, Jim Miliar - and Lee
Figard. All are young and
proved their mettle.
