FEMMES’ COMPLAINT
The girls are complain-
ing because they are not
getting enough publicity
in our sports page. Well,
to tell you the truth,
there isn't anything to say
about them, unless we talk
about the R amblerettes.
They claim that they became,
the basketball champs, al-
though there was no league,
by topping all their foes.
So much for the maidens'
basketball.
Along came softball.
Again the misses from 11F
and 12F blocks--The Rambler-
ettes--c o p ped the crown
with six straight wins,and
were simply invincible.
In volleyball it was the
same girls from the same
block and from the same
team that took the pennant.
And that is the story of
the Ramblerettes from Sepol
who were the team of the
teams in all the girls'
sports activities in this
center. There were no teams
that can match their abili-
ities in any and all sports.
Oh yeah! Several weeks
ago,some fellows came into
our office and we started
to talk about the fairer
sexes ' sport activities in
our center. The Rambler-
ettes were mentioned as being
the "King of the Queens"
in here. One of them popped
up and said, "I'll bet if
there was a football league
those Ramblerettes couId
of copped the title easily."
(His name is withheld be-
cause--er--er, you don't
want him "kilt", do you?)
OUR PREP CAGERS
The recent issue of the
Rohwer 0utpost, in the
"Bench Warmer", a sports
column by Kango Kunitsugu,
lauded the local prepsters
by saying that Granada's
Amache high school basket-
ball five had the most
successful center team a-
gainst the Caucasian teams
by winning ten and losing
only two; while the "B"
squad rolled over all com-
petition. It goes on to
say that the nisei basket-
ball teams had the disad-
vantage in height against
the taller Caucasian fives
but the Colorado prep team
made up the difference by
speed and smooth ball-han-
dling.
Yes, we really had an
excellent basketball team
and we'll bet our money
that they can take any ni-
sei prep team from any of
the ten centers. The var-
sity squad averaged over
5' 8",which is plenty tall
in any nisei basketball
team.
OUR NEW MAN
Yes sir. We got a new
man in here. Shiro Nomura,
formerly of the Manzanar
Free Press,joined recently
to help us write sports.
He'll be appearing on
this sport page all the time
so give him all the cooper-
ation and courtesy you
have given us.
MOTOR POOL TO MEET
KNINES IN AA GAME

mer carnival, the second
round of the AA baseball
league will see the Motor

diamond.
The Knines will have
the pitching of Paul Yama-
moto and the hitting of
Joe Harada, George Matsuu-
ra,and Yukio Miyamoto, but
the Motormen will enter
the fray as a definite fa-
vorite with the superior
batting power of Tosh Shi-
mizu, Kanemi Ono, Jim Ku-
bochi,, and Soapy Miyashima
and the chucking of "Yuba
Joe" Nakamura.

line-ups include:
