The Basket Ball season is about at
an end. The season ended last Fri.
day evening with the games with the
Carpenters, They proved to be the
hardest fought games ever played on
the Dewey floor. Never did the Dew.
ely boys work harder for their school.
In both the grade and the major
game the DeWeys were ahead until
almost the close of the game. In both
cases the Carpenters had the best
basket in the last half and this togeth.
CT with the fact that the Carpenters
averaged much moro in weight than
the Dewey was just enough OF a mar
gin to give them both games. The
Dewey grades, uudisputed champions,
lost to the Carpenters who were easy
victims last year The score in both
games was 10 to Is. Mr., Lynch and
MIR. Burtsch were the officials. In
losing this game the Dewey lost the
championships of the city Our school
has the satisfaction however, of hav.
ing demonstrated that no school team
in the city can win against the Dewey
team. It's also to be remembered
that the Dewey won one of the three
games played against the Carpenter
Alumni.
