Squeezing out a one-point ver-
dict over Elms. 29 to 28. in the
final game of the season at Elms
Friday, the Shelton Highclimbers
ended their most successful bas-
ketball season since entering the
fast competition of the Southwest
Washington high school circuit
with an even standing of seven
victories and seven defeats which
earned the Red and Black fourth
place, the highest a Shelton team
has ever finished in the league.
The Highelimbers were hard-
put to down the last place Eagles,
who played fine ball and took
full advantage of their home
court peculiarities to keep the de-
rision tn doubt right up to the
last second of play.
The Eagles, in fact, held corn-
edge to give the Highellmbers the
lea4 for the fir:st .time in te
Prom there until the gun it was
a see-saw struggle with 'the High-
climbcrs going ahead by three
points twice. 23-20. and 25-22 as
tile third canto ended, on baskets
by Cardinal and Gene White. but
that was the longest lead Shclton
ever enjoyed.
Elma regained tile advantage at
26-25 on successive corner tosses
t by Dale Everett at the four-min-
'ute pause, then Cardinal knotted]
it with a tree throw, which Ron
Prant, e matched to place Elma in
the van again, then Cardinal came
back with a neat field toss from
just outside the foul circle for a
28-27 edge for the Highclimbers
and Mary Cartwright a moment
later dunked in the winning point
from the foul line. Herb Bloom-

ingdale had a chance to knot the
score for Elma with less than half
a minute to play but missed the
second after converting the first
of two foul shots. An Elma long
shot which was in the air as the
gun sounded failed to connect in
the thrilling finish to the 1947
season.
The Eagles opened up like they
were going to fly right, off With
the ball game, pulling P nto a 10
to 5 first quarter lead, but the
Highclibers began to chop away
and had it .chipped down to 16 to
I5 at .the half.
Cartwright and Sundsten play-
ed grand defensive games for
Shelton and Cartwright was dead-
ly at the foul line with five con-
versions in seven attempts, plus
a sixth which was nullified when
a teammate stepped on the line.
Cardinal topped the scoring with
11 points while White had eight.
The Eagles, outscored Shelton
from the floor ith 11 field goals
to nine, led by Everett who con-
nected wifh four left-handed
heaves from the sidelines, but the
difference in the game was told
at the foul line, where the .I-Iigh-
climbers picked off 11 poits
against six for the Eagles.

ketball careers of four Highclimb-

while second place Beckwith Jew-

And war had heen deelarl
during that basketball season
with the United States julnping
inio "World War I. Oscar, ah)ng
with several of his classmates
and teanlmates, had eolisled in
the Marines April 7, with orders
to report to their trahflng
camps April 11.
So on April 11, 1917, Oscar Le-
vin was sitting on a high school
stage, much as he was last Fri-
day, ready to accept the trophies
emblematic of the football and
asketball titles the two teams
he had captained had won and on
the verge of getting into another
and far most important "cham-
pionship" struggle.
It was little wonder, then, that
Oscar Levin's mind should travel
back over those 30 years last Fri-
day as he sat on the stage at
Irene S. Reed high school, this
time on the presenting' instead of
receiving end of athletic trophies.
IN TItlS CORNER
High school athletics received a
staunch supporter on the govern-
ing body of school affairs of this
community--the school board-
with the clection of Fleming By-
rs as a new school director.
Byars' strong interest in sports
dates back to his own high school
days or earlier--when he played
quarterbaek on the football team
and catcher on the baseball team
at Goldendale high school, down
on the Columbia River banks,
where he graduated in 1932.
It continued into college thru
and moved 'to within two games of
the pace-makers while running its I
victory streak to mx straights
games on a triple triumph over[
Morgan Lumber while the veneer-
men were dropping threc games
to Kimbel Motors.
Allie Robinson, Hk Durand,
Babe Carlson and Joe Forrest all
produced big games and Laurie
Cm,lson hit well over his average
in two games as the Cushman
quintet clicked for lopsided mar-
gins in all thrce games.
The plywood's defeat was by the
paper-thin margins of eight and
two pins in two games with Bill
his matrieulation at Ellensburg
Normal--now officially known
as Central Washington College
of Edueation--4vhere he quarter-
hacked one of the strongest
teams in EllensbUrg's athletic
history, ill 1937, a teanl whieh
inehtded a eonple of I|ighclimber
grid grads in Bud Borst and
Commodore Burnett, and a for-
nler Hlghellmber grid coach,
Pete Barto, who acted as line
coach and chief trainer.
After his graduation from El-
lensburg, Byars turned to the
coaching ranks and at Chehalis
hlped develop youngsters of that
pa
350 Pearson, Loren Hunter and Warren
416 Earl getting the victbry-snatching
386 pins in those two and Pearson ac-
420 , counting for the opener.
'i Pantorium Cleaners moved into
471third place with a three-ply ver-
554!dict over Mell Chevrolet as Bud
466 }Ferrier, Bill Bosch, Jack Stewart
and Gene Lindberg took turns at
ace-making to offset Roland Ger-
hardt's 542 figure for the mech-
anics.
Grunert's Chevron Service, de-
spit a two-to-one victory over Lo-
cal 161. lost ground and dropped
to fourth place. Dan Cormier hit
the night's top individual total to
aid the Grunert cause.

The grmadst legacy "the old
man can leawe his son, is a
deep-rooted ]rove for hunting and
fishing. For the youngstei pos-
sessed of this, bwns treasures no
adversity can steal --reverence;
an appreciation o'f he beauties
of wooded hills, treams and
plains; a sense of vtles; respect
for individuals: toleralce; a sense
of fairness, and tranquiRtly of
spirit.
So thanks Dad. for the legacy.
The more we spend it, the bigger
it grows.
Thomas W. Parry tells us of
the comradeship it has been his
privilege to share with his son
Tom. It all began, not seven years
ago when Tom first started fish-
ing and hunting, "but rather 36
years ago when Tom's granddady
laid the foundation n a rabbit-
infested field near the banks of
Mason Laundry and Lumbermen's
Mercantile was suffering a 2 to
I defeat at the hands of Simpson
Logging company.
Reed Mill shook loose from a
last place tie in the other match
by decisioning the Active Club,
2 to 1, when Mary Carter, Toad
Sergeant, and A1 Drummond pro-
duced telling tallies at the proper
moments.
Al Ferrier and Rip Allen gave
momentum to the Pastime's shut-
Out performance, George lVIerrick
and Firechief Teedee Deer hit the
kindled
flareup.

by Observing and doing, rather
than nemorizing rules, Tom start-
ed hunting with his father sans
gun when he was eight During
that season and the one which fol-
lowed, he formed the habits of
safety, consideration for the other
fellow and good sportsmanship.
By observing and being exposed to
casual conversation, he learned to
carry a gun perpendicularly on
his shoulder on rocky soil; muz-
zle- down in right arm, dog on
left, where the soil was free of
rock. He saw how stupid it would
be to pull a gun through the
fence after him, or fail to check
and break it before loading it in
the car. He observed that com-
Panionship is more fun than a full
bag of game; that "it's a swell
idea o let the other fellow take
the first shot. He saw, quite ob-
viously, that any "Nervous Nel-

but his interest hasn't sagged.
The (ent'al League perpe-
tual football trophy whlclt was
awarded for the first time last
Friday was a Byars brain-chlhl.
So was the Commodore Burnelt
trophy, annnally awarded to the
player chosen by his teammates
as furnishhtg the most hlSl)ira-

ball team. ,
The county' foul shooting con-
tests inaugurated this year and
settled between :halves of the Ab-
erdeen game here three weeks
ago, is an0tlmr idea developed by
Byars and Oscar Levin. While it
has nbthing to ,do with athletics,
it's worth mention in passing that
Byars was also one of the princi-
pal instigatorsalong with Dick

IT CAME CLOSE
Centralie.'s basketball coach,
Waldo loberts, figured it pretty
shrewdly last fall when he suc-
cessfully maneuvered Centralia
out of 'the souChern division nd
into the northern division of the
Southwest Washington prep bas-
ketball league.
His plans came mighty close to
working, ,too.
Roberts had his eye on the
state tournament away bak
there last October. Ite knew he
hml a pretyl gaott club coming
np to wear Ifie Tiger sptgles
tiffs past casaba sea.an, but he
u) knew he ,had three mighty
tough rivals to battle with In
the soutlern SvlSlon in Long-
view, Kels.o and Vancouver.
bhly two of those trams had a
chance to go to the tournamen't,
so Centralia Roberts reasoned,
had only a 50-50 chance of making
it into the inter-division playofD
for the third tournament berth the
two divisions .are gwen between
them. (As you kaoW, the Second
place teams of each division play
for that third position).
That was the picture tn the
southern division, and as it turned
out, those three aforementioned
teams wound up tied for first
place in the division.
On the other hand, tim nor-
thorn division, as near as pro-
mander Oscar Levin of Fred B. the River Pla%te in northwestern
Wivell Post, with Legionnaire lMissouri. On outings that stud-

the hazards men set up for them-

saw and heard the post-mortems
around a fireplace in the evening
are the greatest fun of all.
Many have been the pleasures

since Tom turned eight. Abun-

Olympia as the only really out-
standing club. So, the Roberts
. reasoning went, Contrails wouhl
have a much better ehance to
finish second in the northern di-
vision than it would in the
southern division.
And that's exactly how it work-
ed, Roberts dextrously maneuver-
ed the Tigers .rbm one division in,-,
to the other and his team won sec-
ond place among its new play-
mates. The stumbling block fin-
ally in Roberts' plans came Friday

Wayne, a sophomore, is one of
I the top scorers on the Highclimber

next two years. He and Jerry
checked each other when their
teams played at Shelton Febru-
ary 5 and in both games %Vayne
outscored his p'al by a narrow
margin, 5 to 2 and 5 to 3. Jerry
has played on the Eagle first team
