gentlemen sometimes do that sort OF
thing. Anyway, You can't have a
foot ball eleven without eleven men,
as the Blaine boys would have admit
ted before their defeat OF course it
makes no difference with he result
upon the field what kind of a contest
you call it afterwards. TIE grade
Principals say it cannot be regarded
as a contest between TWO High Schools
That seems a fair statement of the
case, seeing that the Blaine captain
recognized no faculty control over his
actions.
The Dewey school finds the com
mittee's report entirely satisfactory
in all main particulars and will, no
doubt, profit greatly therby
Two games were played last week,
Friday evening which resulted in two
victories for the Dewey. The first
team defeated the "All Stars" by
score of 25 to 10, while the eight
grade team played an Intern ission
game and defeated the Matt Carpenter
S to 7. In the game with the first
team there was considerable fouling
and the good judgement of McQ Iarrie
in throwing II fouls greatly increased
the Deweys score. The An Stars
were handicapped by the loss OF two
men ana the fact that they have had
but little practice all season. In the
line up for the StaIs was McKinnon
the trusty guard who played with the
Dewey team in the first part of the
season but has since left school
The grade game was spirited through
out and the Dewey players had to
hustle TO cover their rather small but
swift opponents.
The girls played their first game
with an outside team last thursday
evening when they played the Nor
NAL girls team in their gymnasium.
The score was 10 to in favor of the
Normal but that tells nothing of the
plucky game put by the Dewey girls
against their larg or ana more expert
enced opponents. Not giving up tor
a moment they played the game from
start to finish even seemed to play
better toward the last The score
at the end of the first half was to
and IL the second half not asiugle
field basket was thrown by the Nor
NAL, they making the two additional
points from the foul line. This shows
that our girls can play ball and ought
TO prove that they should play more
outside teams. 1t is to be regretted
that a lack of interest is shown this
year
We will blow our whistle if you hold
The ball any longer out Of bounds,
girls.
The third team Dewey were defeat
ed by the Bryant eight grade team
last Wednesday at the Bryant gymua-
stun by a score of q to Is. The thid
declare, however, that they will turn
the tables at return game to be play
ed at the Dewey gynasium,
