Surprised Militiamen and Won by
I3 to a.

The Hope basket ball team won
from the Rathdrum Soldier team by
score Of l3 TO 4 at the high school
gymnasium last Friday evening
The visitors arrived on the early
morning train unannounced, thus
taking the Company E boys by sur.
prise. They said thev had written,
hut for some reason their letter was
not received here. AS consequence
Of the short notice, but a small crowd
attended the game.
A preliminary game was played be
tween the high school first and
second teams, playing 10 minute
halves. The second team won by a
score of IL to 6.
The Hope men and the mil.tiamen
then went at 1t and the first half
showed that the soldiers were handi
capped from want of practice. Their
team work was defective and their
aim IN throwing baskets was not true
The score at the end of the half was
to 2 in favor of the visitors. In
the second half the soldiers showed
better team work and, had their ann
improved commensurately they would
have stood some chance of evening
the score. The Rathdrum guards
did good work preventing their
opponents from making more points
than they would otherwise have made.
The Hope team was composed Of
johnson and Gardner, forwards:
Eckett, center, and Swanson and
Ream, guards. In the soldiers team
Hulsey and Nichols played forward;
Spoerry, center, and Haasch and
Sullivan. guards. Dachman was
