School News It’s time for school news again' Sorry to disappoint you folks, this week, but your regular news reporter is ill and someone had to take her place Cwhich is sure hard to do) so I was the “lucky gal/’ We sure hope Marcie gets .well in a hurry, and I’m quite positive she’ll be on the “job” again next week. Sa-y-y-y-, what did you ‘hiniof the Speedway-Avon game? The “boys” really played a good game, don't you think? We really should have won, but we didn’t feel so bao about it when the scoreboard “plinked up” Avon, 28 and Speedway 27 at the end of the game. Judging from last Friday’s game, we’re just about due for a winning streak, so if you haven’t been attending our games regularly, NOW’S the time to make a “real” habit of it. I sure wish all of you could have helped celebrate the President’s Birthday Ball at S.H.S., Wednesday night. “Rug-cuttin’ ” was THE thing for not only the "kids, but the “old folks” too. What more could you expect, though, with such an atmosphere as there was. We were “swinging” to the “sweet-but-hot” rhythm of Lida Heaton and her All-girl orchestra. Pretty neat, eh? By the time I’ve recuperated from that dance, it’ll be about time for another dance around here. So, be on the “lookout,’ ’cause you’ll want to come, too. Speaking of being on the “lookout”, that goes for tonight, too. Our “boys” play New Winchester and they’re really going to show them some stiff “Speedway” competition. So. drop whatever your’e doing tonight and help support the “boys.” We’ll be looking for YOU! 1 ! ‘ Until next week, when Marcy will be back, with you again, “TOODLEE-DOOEE.” —Dorothy Moldthan Announcement Mr. E. K. Harvey, 4928 West 12 Street of Speedway City, wishes to announce that he is entering the Real Estate business for himself, having formerly been connected with Mr. A. C. Moldthan for two years. He will specialize in Speedway and the West Side properties and will have his office with the Coleman Insurance Agency, 4901 West 16th Street, over Rosner’s Drug Store.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 1941

Orioles Fly Over Spark Plugs In Second Homecoming Game (Robt. Alsmeyer) Last Friday evening, the Speedway Spark Plugs took a 27-28 punch on the nose from the Avon Orioles. As one can readily see from the score, Coach Johnson & Co., quite evidently inspired by the return of Johnny Ewing to the team, were fighting back at the invaders with almost equal ferocity. Ewing, who has been out of competition since the Clayton game during which he sustained an injury to his finger, led the Brown and Gold in their futile efforts to down the Orioles. By “led” we do not mean that he did the majority of the scoring, but we do mean that it was his ability to act as a field general and keep the boys pulling together that was so outstanding. High-scoring honors were quite adequately held down by Joe Powderly, with seven points ar ?‘ ■‘Clark Gable” Workman, who polled three fielders for the Brown and Gold. Incidentally, Workman who was getting his first real taste of the higher caliber basketball, did quite well for himself after he had been in for a few minutes and some of the newness was worn off. Workman played mostly in the place of big Bud Jenkins who seemed to be noticeably hampered by the guard he is forced to wear to protect his eye-glasses. The game opened with Speedway taking the tip-off and then losing the ball to the Orioles who put on what seemed to be a premature stall by passing the ball amongst themselves for better than three minutes without even so much as attempting a single shot. When the locals finally regained possession of the ball, Radford fouled Phipps whp hit for the initial marker of the evening. Seconds later Hornaday fouled Jenkins^who missed his free throw,, but Powderly found the hoop on the rebound play. Radford hit a long looper from the corner and Francis fouled Phipps, who again chalked up another one-pointer. Radford again hit from the field, this one a beautiful long onehander from the corner and Speedway called time-out. After time was called in again, Powderly fouled Radford, who hit his free throw giving the Orioles a one-point advantage; Francis added two more for the visitors When he took a floor-length pass under his own basket and very nonchalantly dropped the ball through the cords. Powderly countered with a twohand. under-the-basket shot and Ewing replaced Phipps just as the first quarter ended. The score at the end of the first period read Avon 7 and Speedway 6. Opening the second quarter, Powderly fouled Hornaday, who missed his free throw, and Ewing fouled Hamblen, who also missed his attempt. Reversing the current fouling procedure, Hornaday fouled Jenkins, but Ward replaced Hamblen, J. Tremor left the game in favor of Phipbs. and the SparkPlugs called time-out all before Jenkins tried hfs charity toss. When play was resumed, Jenkins hit his free one and Ward and Hornaday both scored from the held. Workman made his first appearance of the evening, coming in 'or Jenkins. Speedway again called for a time-out period, this time with four minutes remaining in •he first half and the Spark Plugs m the short end of the 11-7 score. Mter the one-minute time-out period was up Francis fouled Ewing, who missed the donation shot and then Francis made up for his per’ontl foul by hitting a two-hand hort shot. J. Tremor returned to ‘he game for Ewing and Phipps 'ouled Hornaday, who missed his :ree throw. Workman potted - his ’irst fielder of the evening by sinkng a pivot shot from the corner; ie then fouled Francis, who missed iis charity toss. After Franciis’ r ree throw there were about fortyfive seconds of scoreless scrimnage before the half ended. The md-way point still found the Orioles four points better than the Brown and Gold. In the third quarter Speedway (gain took the tip-off, Ward foul?d Phipps, who again made the' first point of this half. In the fol-| lowing bit. of red-hot scrimmage, J Ward stole the ball and dribbled the entire length of the floor for | twe more Avon points only to have Phipps retaliate with a similar, ’hot. In rapid succession Horna- J day scored under the basket and Radford ripped the net with a long ine-hand push shot. C. Tremor, •ouled Radford, who missed, and' '.hen, as if in apology for making, the personal, Charley hit a very. long one-hand push shot from the , corner. Roberts and Jenkins then came into the game for J. Tremor and Workman respectively. Ward sank one from in under the basket and C. Tremor fouled Hurst, but Speedway called time-out before the attempt was made. Play was resumed and Hurst failed in his

attempt at the donation line. Radford fouled C. Tremor, but Ewing i eturned to the game for Jenkins and Speedway called time-out before Charley’s attempt. After the time-out period Charley missed his free throw. Hurst fouled Powderly in the act of shooting and Joe made good on both of his charity tosses. For his first time since the game with the Brownsburg Cowboys, Albert Webb came into the varsity game; this time for C. Tremor. Hurst again fouled Powderly in the act of shooting, but this time Joe was only good for half of his free throws. In the closing minutes of the third quarter, Blairu’eplaced Ward, and Radford sank a short shot from in under the basket. In the third period the Orioles outscored the Brown and Gold by a margin of ten points to eight. The scoreboard at this point read Avon 23 and Speedway 17. Opening the final quarter, Hurst who seemed to have a knack for fouling his opponents while in the act of shooting, chose Ewing as his victim and just for revenge, Johnny very decisevely sank both of his free throws. Workman returned to the game for Webb and Hamblen came in for Hurst; Avon immediately called time-out. Phipps fouled Radfor.d who hit his charity toss and Ward came back for Blair for the Orioles. Workman then slipped in his second fielder of the game, and Hornaday hit a short two-hander and was fouled by Johnny Ewing; Hornaday was given only one attempt at the benefit line, but he did not fail to capitalize on it. Hurst returned to the game for Hamblen and Avon again called time-out. When play was resumed, Workman and Roberts both scored from the field in rapid-fire order. After bringing his teammates within two points of the Orioles, Roberts fouled Francis, who hit the one point that later won the game. Johnny Ewing scored on a brilliant fast break for the basket to bring the Brown and Gold within one point of the visitors. In the two crucial minutes that remained the Sparkplugs were unable to get that much-needed point on any of about five assaults on the basket. The thrill-crazed crowd was on its feet, the majority pleading with

the Spark Plugs to get just one more basket, and the balance pleading equally as sincerely for the Orioles to hold on to that oh-so-siim one point margin, which they did. When the final whistle blew, the Orioles were holding on to their precious one point and the score board indicators pointed to 28 for Avon and 27 for Speedway.
