BASKET BALL TEAM PROVES TOO
STRONG FOR ALBION.
Games Played In Snow In Which Al
bion's Superior Weight Aided In
Football Victory.

Sunday the high school basket ball
and foot ball teams returned from AL
bion, where they played the first games
of the season.
The basket ball game was set for
1880 a. M, Saturday, and in spite of
the fact that over an inch of rain had
fallen the previous night, and that it
was showing, the game was pulled off
as scheduled. During the first half
the high school team fell little short
in team work. The frame of the bas-
ket at which the Twin Falls forwards
were throwing was broken, making it
very hard to throw a goal. Neverthe
less at the end of the half the score
stood three to two in the high schools
favor. The teams changed goals at
the beginning of the second half, and
the Twin Falls girls began playing in
old form. Although the normal girls
continued their fine teamwork, they
were unable to keep the ball from Ida
Cryder and Dinah Durkee, the high
school forwards, who were always in
good position cool and deliberate, and
never failed in placing it in the bas-
ket. In this half the Twin Falls
guards, Hazel Shields and Bertha Nc
Dougal, played the game so we'll that
the Albion forwards were able to score
but once. Phoebe Durkee played a
good game at center. She was quick
and accurate, and soon learned her
opponents tactics. At the close OF the
game the score stood sixteen to five In
Twin Falls favor
The foot ball game was played Sat
urday afternoon. The rain and snow
storm was still in progress, and the
field was very muddy. This placed the
Twin Falls boys. who were much light
er than the Albion boys, at great dis
advantage. Besides this, only one OF
two of the high school had ever played
in a game, while many of the normal
are old players, having been with thei1
team several years. When the Twin
Falls boys appeared on the field with
little Harry Benoit for quarterback the
Albion boys were heard to laugh and
say they hated to spoil the kids new
suits in that mud. However, as soon
as the game started, Albion saw 1t was
no Joke and at the end they said
THAT is the nerviest bunch OF kids We
ever meet"
