The White Deer Bucks won
their second consecutive county
championship last Tuesday night
by defeating the Panhandle Pan-
thers by the score of 22-18, in a
thriller in the Panhandle gym.
This made the third game of the
year that the Bucks and Panthers
have played. The Panthers won
the first game in the Panhandle
gym by the score of 29-30, and the
Bucks won the second game in the
White Deer gym by the score of
37-35, and in the final- game the
Bucks clinched the title by the
score of 22-18.
A huge crowd witnessed one of
the most spectacular games that
the Bucks and the Panthers have
played in the last two years. Du-
ring that period the teams have
played six games, with White
Deer winning four and Panhandle
winning two.
After the first quarter the Pan-
thers were ahead, until about the
last minute of play when the
Bucks scored 6 points to jump in-
to the lead and win. At the end
of the first quarter the Panthers
hit their stride and was leading at
the half by the score of 13-10.
After t lOminute intermission
at the half, both teams were rest-
ed and ready to resume play. Each
team scored 4 points in the third
quarter with Panhandle still hold-
ing the lead 14-17. Panhandle was
still leading 18-16 with not more
than a minute to play, and then
with the aid of “old mother luck”
the Bucks scored 6 points to win
the game.
Hawkins of White Deer was
high-point man of the game with
7 points to his credit. Robinson

and pleaded with her to marry
him, but she said “no.” Chief
Powderbox, Geneva Moore, then
entered and went through the pro-
cedure of scalping Captain John-
Smith, but the fair daughter beg-
ged him not to, so he stamped out
and kicked the bucket. The cur-
tain then fell on the scene.
Mr. Drummond then led some
