SICK this week, but all are glad to
see her back to her studies again.
Minnie is one of the Rifle girls who is
attending our splendid high school.
If you haven good word for the
high school for goodness sake keep
quiet You will never do any good
nor will you do any harm by kicking
about the Glenwood high school, for
it's all right.
We all felt pretty big after the
game when the school came off vic
torious and we intend to play base
ball with the other schools and also to
meet that will be held here some
time in May.
The boys Athletic association met
Monday evening to talk over matters.
They elected Grover Barrier captain
of the baseball team and Thayer Hub
bard manager. Alfred Cowles was
appointed manager of the football
team for the coming season. The
boys will begin to practice for the
tratk meet as soon as the weather will
permit. Discs were ordered and as
soon as they come the boys will see
what they can do with these athletic
pieplates. Thayer Hubbard. the
treasurer of the associate on. reported
that all the expenses arising from the
basket ball game were paid and 4l5
left over. The boys We're very much
pleased over the financial condition of
the association and with the success
of the basket ball game.
1t would seem as if Glenw wood boys
would cheer for the Glenwood high
school boys. In the basket ball game
Saturday night instead many Of the
grown up boys around town yelled for
Aspen. And when Glenwood beat the
Aspens the poor knockers wore reg
ular blue saw face. OF course we
have to pity the former high school
boys, because they no doubt remembe
the way they were beaten in the foot
ball game last Thanksgiving Day, and
the only consolation for their defeat is
to side in with the Aspen team. But
they overlooked the fact that the high
school pupils can yell far louder than
they, so that their rahs for Aspen
sounded very faint to the loud rahl
rah for Glenwood When it comes
to yelling we high school pupils can
beat the town boys all hollow, and
when it comes to playing football the
town boys are not in it. Three cheers
for the Glerwood high school
There was very large crowd at
the opera house last Saturday night
when the high school basket ball boys
played the Aspen high school. Before
the game started the high school pu-
pills made the building shake with
their school yells. The game was
lively from the start to the end, for it
was hard to decide who would win.
The score was close throughout the
game. Many were surprised at the
splendid playing of the Glenwood
boys. who were far ahead in playing
with regard to playing according to
the rules The Aspen boys seemed to
think that they were playing football
instead of basket ball, so that they
fouled a great deal The first nalf
was coached by Mr.. Mayes, while the
Aspen coach had charge of the game
during the second half. The first half
closed with a score of 6 to 8 in favor
of Glenwood. The Glenwood pupils
passed the time between the halves in
yelling and cheering for Glenwood,
and you can make up your mind that
they can make plenty of noise. After
ten minute rest they went at it
again. The Aspens did not seem to
know much about the rules of the
game for they kept on slugging just
the same, in fact they said that that
was the way they had been playing
in Aspen for the last two years. The
boys played fine and the game was
supposed to end with the score of IS
to 10, in Glenwood's favor, but IN
basket ball the score must be at least
two points ahead to decide game so
that another half had to be played.
Both sides went at it as if they
meant to do something; they succeed
ed in knocking an electric light globe
out of business, which put the rest of
the lights on the ciIcnit out. The
game had to be stopped until the
glass was cleared away. They
finished the game in semi.tsssskness.
Erie Hubbard scored for the Glen
woods when he made a basket, which
ended the game, making Glenwood
the winner with 81 to 1S. What s
the matter with Glenwood She 8
all right
