February 26, 1931 Colfax 12, Collins 32 One of the best games played by the Collins boys was played Friday evening. They started fast and continued all through the game. The beginning lineup was as follows: Ober Elliott and “Squirt” Kassel at forwards; John Crabb at center; Kenneth Hass and Orville Smith at guard. The Collins boys got the first basket, setting the game off right. They all played good, steady basketball, with the exception of a few fouls, all through the first half, being ahead with a good margin at the end of this period. They came back the second half appearing as fresh as when the game began. The opponents were never allowed to gain the lead, and, had it not been for free throws, their defeat would have been overwhelming. John Crabb fouled out in the last quarter, with Ober Elliott changing to center and John Weld taking Ober’s place at forward. “Squirt” Kassell was also replaced by Lyle Jay, who fought hard to help run up the score.

A hard fought game was played in the first half with the score standing at the end of the half at 7 to 5 in favor of Collins. In the last half the Ames 2nd team came back with fight and scrap to win the game. The Collins boys held them fairly well in the 3rd quarter, but by the end of the 4th quarter Ames had run the score up on the Collins team, winning the game with a score of 27 to 16.
