Page 2 THE O. H. S. TIGER, FEBRUARY 28, 1923 WEBER DEFEATS BOX ELDERS Close Game Results in a Victory for Weber Weber, by defeating the Box Elder hoopsters last week, gained first place m the percentage column and will no doubt win the Ogden division race. By defeating the Brigham crew, they chalked up their sixth victory with only one defeat. Box Elder has one five games and lost two. The game started out in a fast and flashy manner with Box Elder taking the edge. The Brighamites in the first period scored nine points against three of Weber's. The Weber crew staged a comeback in the second can¬to and tallied eight points. Brigham' made only two points in this period and the half ended with both teams even on the score sheet, the figures reading 11. The third and fourth periods were not so sensational. Both teams played about even, the lead alternately evenly. At the end of the third quar¬ter the Weber five was on the long end of a 22 to 17 score. Only two points were recorded in the final period of the contest by either team. Holton, of Box Elder tossed in two free throws, while We¬ber snagged a field goal. Halliday, of Weber was taken from the game on personal fouls in the final seconds of the game. Eliason was the same old star for the Brigham crew, scoring 13 points during the fracus.

Tiger juourneyed down to Jordan High school last week to see how much the leaders in the Jordan division basket ball race knew about the game. The Ogden men had no difficulty in defeating the Jordan five. The Tigers outclassed the Jordan crew in all angles of the game, running a score of 36 to 25. The first half of the contest ended with the Tigers on the heavy side of an 18 to 4 count. Smitty was again the big star for the Ogden High. He tallied seven goals from the field and scored se¬ven out of seven free throws. Cox and Blackham were the next in line star performers. Jensen and Jones were the best that the Jordan school had to offer. The score: Ogden G.T. F.P.

DAVIS FINALLY WINS A GAME Bear River Loses, 28 to 17 The Davis High at last won a ?ame and placed themselves in the win column of the percentage list by defeating the infant Bear River bas¬ketball crew on the Kaysville floor. A.t the end of the first half the Bear River hoopsters were in the lead by i 14 to 10 score. The Davisites staged a comeback in the next period and won the con¬test. Underwood and Webster were the stars for the Davis five, while Adams played the leading position for the infants. The score: Bear River G.T. F.P.

The Ogden players seemed to re¬alize that their opponents were easy and consequently did not extend themselves. The setups were not hard to play, but the Tigers did not use them. No one on the Ogden five played brilliant ball. The "Dummy Crew" showed their ability of tossing baskets from all angles and distances on the floor. Taking all in all, this fracus seemed more like a funeral than a basketball game. The quietness of the deaf mutes and the easy going attitude of the Tigers was the cause of such a feel¬ing. —O-H-S— BOX ELDER TAKES FINAL CONTEST Infants Score Another Defeat In the final contest on the slate for the Box Elder quintet, they scored a victory by defeating the Bear River cagers 41 to 23. This, evidently, was a listless game also. From the score we can understand the difficulties the Brigham cagers underwent. At the end of the first half the score read 19 to 5 for the winners. Eliason and Boothe were the stars for the Brigham five. Watkins did credit for the Infants. —O-H-S— A rubber band on snappy tunes Had jazzed to death some old-time croons, The gutt'ring of the gutter snipes Drowned out the fire in the organ i pipes. A pancake panned its frying pan, An egg got broke and also ran. A picture swore it had been framed, The gold mine jumped, for it was claimed. The leaves on all the trees had left, The cliff, cut up, said, "I am cleft." A razor clam shaved oysters raw, And that ain't half of all I saw. KERN'S 2459 Washington Avenue OGDEN, UTAH TIGERS TAKE GAME FROM DAVIS Slow Fracus Is Easily Taken by Tigers The O. H. S. Tigers won another victory in the basketball line, from the Davis hoopsters last Friday even¬ing. The game was very slow and a careless attitude seemed to be in the air, but the Tigers came out of the game on the long end of a 25 to 14 score. The Tigers were in the lead from the. beginning to the final shot. The score at the .end of the first quarter was 8 to 4. At the half the Tigers were representing a score of 15 while Davis held up 8 points. The Kaysville five started a rally at the end of the third period but were forced to discontinue this prac¬tice. Their rally didn't go very far. This contest was the final home, game of the season. Our next and last game is with Bear River on their floor. Smitty topped the players in the scoring with 15 points. Cox and Lyons each grabbed off two field goals. Lindford and Holland played the leading parts for the Davis company. The score: Ogden G.T. F.P.

Well, the findl game has been played and the Seniors declared champions. We knew from the first that those girls would skin all the other teams alive. There really wasn't much use in playing the games, for we expected all the honors to go to them, but you know some folks come from Missouri and won't be¬lieve a thing until they see it proved. The speedy Juniors came out with second place. Nobody can walk over them. The second period class (Freshmen) ran off with third place. Say, Sophomores, wake up and shake yourselves! —O-H-S— A NOVEL BASKET¬BALL GAME IN THREE PARTS North Davis vs. Ogden In a novel so-called basketball game played last week on the Ogden floor, between North Davis and a mixture of teams that the O. H. S. produced, the North Davis crew was entertained at a friendly game. Coach Kapple ran in the first team for the first half of the game, but after they had piled up a score of fifty and their opponents had only scored one basket, the Coach decided to let the boys go home and get some extra sleep and food. He put in the second team which was en¬tirely too fast also, so they were re¬lieved, the game was finished by five fellows around school who have a good knowledge of the game. Smitty said that was the best work¬out he had ever had. He tossed in so many baskets that the ball was scorched as it dropped through the hot hoop. It's queer how constant friction causes heat. The game ended with the score reading 59 to 30. Mr. D. Peterson, acting in the ca¬pacity of referee, finished the game. We forgot how many others had a hand in the refereeing. —O-H-S— WHAT THE PARENTS SAY At the end of the first semes! letter was sent to every parent'S porting the attendance of the pi; and asking for suggestions as to | to improve the school work. Mi parents responded. We present ht with four of these replies as tyfi 's absence has been perfet legitimate and by the consent offc parents. My suggestion as to the. establi merit of better schools is that thi should be greater co-operation l| tween parents and teachers. 2. I would like to make this sugg tion, that every pupil not doing gt have his parent call on the; teachi such as you had me do. I believe the parents of pupils not get conditions as they are fn their children. 9 3. The matter of regular and pros attendance at school does more tl merely make for a good record lit A boy or girl that at high school| forms habits of prompt and regil attendance at school, lays foundati for similar habits later. Parents should be advised prorap of absences or tardiness so that! boy or girl will know that it is matter of importance. 4. I regret very much that I have® visited your school so that I woi be able to speak from personal 1 servation, but judging from rest noticed in my son I am pleased, commend the work you have dont believe however, that you are sou what handicaped-by the small qij ters you are compelled to crowd; many pupils into, and suggest tl more room is essential to obtain yo ideal results. —O-H-S— OGDEN HIGH GRADUATE WINS SCHOLARSHIP PRIZE The following is a letter which [f nounces the award of a $50 prize Mr. Herbert, Adams, a student oft University of California, and gradij of the Ogden High School: University of California.
