favor. The intermission seemed to favor the local team, however, and they came back with an offense that was non-stoppable. Joe (Streeter), alone, made 12 points in the third quarter, and he was ably aided by the other members of the team. In fact, the teamwork was functioning perfectly. Laurence (Dodd) and Ober (Elliot) scored when Joe (Streeter) didn’t, and Thurman (Streeter) and Marion (Vasey) kept the ball within the enemy’s territory.
The game was even better than the score would indicate, and in beating Huxley, the boys won from one of the better teams in the county. The boys’ coach can well feel proud over the improvement shown during the season, and we shall watch their progress in the sectional and county tournaments with interest and enthusiasm.

March 7, 1929 Collins loses to Union at Nevada - Collins was eliminated in the sectional tournament at Nevada by Union by a score of 21-16. Union caught the local boys napping in the second quarter and scored 11 points which was enough to win the game. The second half went to Collins, 3-5, but the 8 point lead which Union held at half time was too much to overcome. The boys do not play again until the County Tournament at Ames March 16; when they play the winner of the Huxley-Roland contest. (Box scores not found)
