BASKETBALL TITLE
For the first time in the history ol
the El Reno high school, its basket-
hall team has won stale champion-
ship honors, and to every member oi
the local team that made this honoi
possible is due &reat credit for their
efficient and energetic work and
Coach "Wilbur Handle is to be con-
gratulated on the work of his men.
The team and the coach by thei.
hearty cooperation and energetic
work have made El iteno and the El
Reno high school renowned through-
out the state in a manner that could
not be secured otherwise.
The work of every player during
the conference, district and state
tournament was highly commend
able, and a credit to the city and the
high school. The scores made by the
HI Reno team In the tournamon
against their opponents is an indi-
cation of their superiority over all
competitors.
By winning from both Tulsa ann
Okla. City, no room for diAibt was
left as to the title as state champ-
ions. The Democrat would suggest
tliut the citizens' of El Reno who art
admirers of basketball, give to the j
members of the team and to Coach,
Handle some testimonial of the work
they have accomplished this season,
a token that could be ke't p'rv-i
pntlv by the members of the wlnnini:
team and the coach. A movement of
this kind should be in the hands of
the Chamber of Commerce or Lion
club.
El'Reno defeated the strong Tulsa
high school eager* Saturday after-
noon by the score ol! Ill to 16, in a
game in which the local QUintetl
completely outplayed their oppon-
ents. The game opened with a rush
El Reno was the lirst to score, Wa: |
lace throwing a long basket. The Eli
Reno boys followed up their advant-
age and by some fast and furious
playing, had netted 12 scores before
the bewildered Tutsans had recover-
ed. while Ihe Oilers had failed ti.
make a score.
Just before the first half ended the
Tulsans aided by luck threw thrc
baskets and a foul. The half ended
14 to 7 in favor of El Reno.
In Ihe last half of the game E>
Reno had Tuba eomple ely at its
mercy and the locals scored at will
I'i Reno scored points i'l Ihis hall
and Tulsa 1). This game was consid
ered the critical game of th" tourna-
ment for El Iteno, and by winning
it the home team won its way to the
finals.
The El Iti no team ■ xhtbited excel-
lent teamwork, while Wallace and
Wheeler especially starred. Wallace
