Murphy Basketball Teams Split Opening Tilts Here With Stecoah
Girls Starting Line-Up For
Season Is Given By Olson
With the Murphy High School
girls' basketball team opening its
season last Tuesday, Coach "Ike"
Olson announced the first string
line up and others who are ex
pected to see action this year.
At forward position this season
will be Lucille Hall, a senior who
has already seen three years of
action. She was a guard last year
but switched to the new position
this season. Coach Olson will
probably bank heavy on her ex
perience and ability.
TEAM SPARK
Another forward. Elizabeth
Frankum, led Murphy's scoring in
Tuesday night's game with six
points. The local girls lost a close
one, 11-9. She is a senior and is
going into her third year on the
varsity squad. She is expected to
spark the team this season.
The other forward is a junior,
Grace Reece, who is racking up
her third year on the first string
She will probably see action both
at guard and forward.
Kay Burgess, a senior who is a
hard player and first-elaas ball
hawk, will be at one guard slot
with two freshmen taking the oth
er guard positions.
Betty Palmer and Frances Stiles
are both newcomers to the squad.
Both the new guards played on
the elementary team last year.
SUBSTITUTES
Substitutes for the girls this sea
son will include Kathryn Amos,
freshman forward who played at
White Church last year.
Guards will be Bessie Hayes,
sophomore; Jo Ann Cornwell, a
senior with two years experience;
Carolyn A lexander, a senior out
tor the first time, and Annie Kil
patrick. sophomore, also out f6r
the first time.
At forward will be Mary Ellen
Walker, another sophomore oat
for the first time The girls team
manager is Josephine Garrett and
Mrs. Dollie Smart is the girls'
sponsor.
The team is loaded with new
players and will be hurt by lack
of experience. However, the team
showed outstanding spirit and
ability last Tuesday night against
Stecoah.
If the veteran girls can carry
the load, the team should be in
good condition at the end of the
season. But, if the pull proves too
much for the experienced hands,
the team will slip to a low mark.
The girls squad must place in
the first four positions of the
Western division of the Smoky
Mountain Conference to be in the
play-off.
