Ontario High School Notes.

At the Ontario and Norwalk game
last Saturday evening, the Ontario high
school basket ball team met defeat at
the hands of the Norwalk city team.
The game proved departure from the
regular routine of basket ball, much
football aud many remarks from the
side lines adding interest to the game.
The Norwalk players seemed to live un
to their statements made before the
game; ito win by any means fair or
foul. 1t seems incredible that the
people of Norwalk could not and did
not act in a true sportsmanlike manner.
A referee has quite an influence over
the outcome of any game, and a man
with money bet on the game ought not
to officiate, because it would be impos-
sible for him to render fair and inn
partial decision. The score at the end
of the first half was Norwalk 8, On
tario .. During the second half Ontario
I made II points and Norwalk 6, but the
official declared that of the points
made by Ontario did not count, therefore
Norwalk won by the score of IL to Is,
making basket during the last two
minutes of play. AS we are not salts
fed with the result of the game we
have asked Norwalk to play the rub
game az we uGledIGu bIlGtD Week De
fore by the score of 31-6) at Sparta,

Our school work, play and declama-
tory contest demands so much atten-

basket ball season. We hope to close
with a game with Hillsboro high school,

lions that We do That determined,
