Tiny Team Brings Boom and Bounce to Basketball
By Carol Heller
We went to see our little brother play in a basketball game during the semester break.
The seventh-grade people of Hays turned out full force for the game and the high school gymnasium was a melee of jumping cheerleaders and clusters of boys and girls screaming their loyalty.
Our little brother was on the starting team and the game was exciting from the very beginning because the opponents were taller than our men. But we made the first two points anyhow, right after the tip-off.
A little boy named Dennis came down to our end of the bleachers and started turning flip-flops on the gymnasium railing. He wasn't making any noise so we didn't mind.
We sat down at the end of the bleachers near a great stack of folding chairs—far, for away from the animated mass of can-can petticoats, pony tails, black leather jackets, and ducktails.
The game became more exciting

High Scorer
GREEN BAY, Wis.—(UPI)—Don Hutson of the Green Bay Packers led the National Football League in scoring for five consecutive seasons (1940-1944). His 138 points in 1942 still stands as an NFL record.
as the tall opponents kept stepping on our men and getting all the re-bounds and making our guys keep fouling. But we always managed to keen in the lead because No. 25 hit every basket and the enemies couldn't hit anything even if they were tall.
A blond-kaired boy in a striped shirt kept climbing over the railing by our bleacher. Later we learned he was a twin.
A roar of loyalty echoed in the gym as the seventh graders began their Indian chant specialty and the warm smell of body sweat filled the air.
Dennis found a big orange truck and began using our bleachers for a highway, but he still wasn't making any noise. Then a boy brought a bass drum and sat down behind us and began pounding the Indian beat BOOM! boom! boom! BOOM!
At last we made the final winning point and the buzzer went off. We won! Thank heavens there wasn't an overtime play-off.
The girl in the green skirt cried as the boys lifted her bodily off their chair.
BOOM! boom-boom-BOOM!
One of the opponents suddenly began making long shots from outcourt and the coach took out our little brother and put in a tall boy.
A snare drummer joined the bass drummer behind us—BOOM! boom-boom-BOOM!
Two boys came down and set up two of the folding chairs in front of our bleacher to watch the game in style. Dennis set up a chair, too.
The last two minutes of the game were agony. The opponents suddenly pulled ahead.
The coach put our little brother back in the game and he promptly threw the ball out-of-bounds. We pretended we didn't know him.
Two more boys came down and set up folding chairs in front of our bleacher. A little girl wearing a green skirt took one of the boy's chairs and a battle ensued.
The enemies made a basket and then we made a basket and then they fouled and then we fouled and they called time-out and then we called time-out—the last two minutes of the game had now lasted 15 minutes.
The coach's little boy began running and screaming up and down the aisle behind our bleacher and the drummers drummed mainly — BOOM! boom-boom-boom BOOM!
The game was in a one-point stalemate. First they were one point ahead and then we were one point ahead. We lost control and jumped up and down and wildly cheered and urged our team on.
We didn't, stay for the eighth- grade game.
BOOM! boom-boom-boom BOOM!
boom-boom-boom BOOM! boom-
boom-boom.

WHY-
Does the Book Store Not Have Enough Textbooks for Some Courses?
The Reason Is Simply This:
No one knows exactly how many of you students will choose to enroll in each course. The people responsible for guessing how many books should be ordered for each course do the best they can, and most of the time they guess very close.
BUT Sometimes certain courses astound everyone and the enrollment in them goes way beyond expectations, or in some courses the guess is simply too small. And, out of nearly 1,000 courses, sometimes we plain goof on a few.
If you have been unable to get the text you need,you can help us help you if you will come to the store and place your special order for the titles you need. Thus we will know how many extra copies we must re-order.
We regret the inconvenience caused you by textbook shortages and we will do our best to ease the pressure caused by the shortage.
