II Mr.. Haghe made no secret Of the
makeup OF his team he cannot, OF
course, be accused Of unfairness. The
Optic still believes. as the Ration team
had been brought here at considerable
expense, as many citizns had put up
money to, defray the expense and ex-
pected to see a game. 1t would have
been better to have played, though un-
der protest. To have won. and with
out doubt the local team could have
defeated the reinforced aggregation,
would have been all the more glory.
To have been defeated by a team that
had been strengthened by outside play.
ers would have caused no loss Of
credit. However, there Ia room for
question in the matter. High school
athletics are worse than useless. II
they are not kept clean. Football
classes, such rs Ration seems to have
are iniquitious and Objectionable. and
the Las Vegas high school can afford
to make no contracts with schools
that adopt methods that are not on the
square.
