In Seattle in 1917 Annie Urtners led the Seattle Elks against the Renton Tigers. Hap Morse and Bul Nelson played guards. With two minutes left, Nelson slipped on a wet spot, fell, and released a wild handoff that bounced through the rim for two points and a tie. The Elks won in overtime, but the shot remains noted as extraordinary.

Tex Rickard Calf That Won Him Fame and a City Marshal
The narrative recalls Tex Rickard’s cattle drives in Montana and the panhandle, where 16 000 head wintered in three herds and fewer than 1 000 survived. A calf named Sitting Bull, found exhausted with the herd near Omaha, was saved by Rickard, who later recounted the tale. Rickard’s youth included a near bandit episode in Omaha, leading to two men killed and one hanged. He worked as a cowpuncher until 22, then became Henrietta Texas city marshal in 1894, with tomorrow’s chapter promising his first marriage and gold-seeking journeys.
