SPORTS BULLETIN
NONE BEES DOWN LATE BLOOMERS
In a very spectacular game of basket
ball at the Glennallen High School gym
Saturday nighty the Late Bloomers from
C-akona were vanquished by the Glennallen
Honey Bees, The Late Bloomers were never
so near victory as when defeated in good
cause and spirits0
The ^ate Bloomers, garbed in their
Blue Bloomers, rosettes at the gathered
knees, red and blue socks and white
blouses were quite a sensation. Their
team members were Cordean "Lady in shoe
who has so many basketball players she
doesn’t know what to do" Talcott, coach
and manager; Althea "Brainstorm with an
Educated Dribble" Hughes; Betty "98
Octane Wonder" Lappi; Daphne "Hot Rodder"
McMahan; Valda "Speeding Gonzales" Falk;
Joanne "Speed Queen" Wells; Leonore "Pee
Wee" Conkle; Shirley "Wilt the Stilt"
Smith; Eileen "Filing Tiger" Ewan and
Glenda "Flash" Ewan,
The Honey Bees team were Bev. Gurtler^
Diane Gurtler^ Louise Tegler, Vera Kel
ley 5 Patsy Cowen^ Peg Virgin,, Lillian
McCrary and Faye Crandall•
The Late Bloomer not squad (normal
ly called cheer leaders), who identified
themselves as the "Bloomin Pep Squad"
were disguised as a red head, a bleached
blond and a silvery grey haired doll.
They wore blue underwear (long handles)
plaid aprons and blue and red socks. We
• soon saw through their disguise and iden
tified those rioteers as Fred Lappi, Ken
Hughes and Tex Barnardc Yea Yea -
Blooming Pep Squad III.
During Round 1 (normally 1st quarter)
the Bloomers objected to "One Whistle"
Howard's call on a foul and nearly
smeared him (My my).. After settling down
to serious play "Wrong Way" McMahan near
ly made a basket in the opponent's goal,
A
but the miss saved the game. At the end
of the first quarter* Honey Bees lh,
Bloomers 0.
Glenda Ewan made the first score for
the Bloomers in the second quarter and
fainted. nuick revival was effected by
the Bloomin Pep Squad out of a container
which looked like a good old gallon jug.
It was apparent in the second quarter that
the Bloomers motto was "if you can't throw
it - roll it”. Half time score Honey Bees
20* Glenda Ewan 2.
Half time was also a riot with the
Bloomin Pep Squad adequately displaying
their pep. (Blue longhandles ????).
A group of Junior rooters for Gakona sure
cheered and cheered. They were Lynn Falk*
Louise Eitfan* Margaret Ewan and Virginia
Gene *
The third quarter was fought hard by
the Bloomers. Maybe the score at the end
of that quarter was lop-sided at 28 - 6*
favor of the.Honey Bees* but the crowd got
a first hand version of some fancy steps.
There was Althea Hughes demonstrating the
twist on her knees* Bloomer McMahan clean
ing the floor with her you know what* and
Travelling Conkle two-stepping around the
court.
Fourth and final inning saw the Bloomers
really bearing down on the Honey Bees.
Lappi had the ball - and then she didn’t -
even the Ref xjas fooled - nope* there it
was - she hid it in her bloomers and ad
vanced down the middle for 20 yards before
"One Whistle" finally figured out which
was Lappi and which was the ball and final
