Those who were a witness to the
superior manner which the Ida Grove
foot ball team appeared to carry when
at Denison last season. will be glad
to see that some of the same players
in bakset ball contest have been
soundly beaten, by team from Craw-
ford county. That was long to be
remembered day when the Ida Grove
team in full uniform raced across the
Denison field in full cry. striking
terror to the hearts of the Denison
players and their friends. To be
sure the Denison boys rallied and
were not overwhelmed. but there
was defeat. Later in the season
when our boys felt in better practice
j. was found impossible to get
game with the Ida Grove boys. Of
course the Denison managers said it
was because the Ida Grove team
was afraid of being beaten. Be that
as it may, the Ida Grove team had
wonderful triumph at football.
Some of the same players went into
the basket ball team, of course ex-
pecting victory. They found in the town
of West Side groupe Of young men
who were their superiurs at basket
ball. This was proved in two success
i've games. The West Side Journal
has this to say as to the ganaes with
Ida Grove and further game at West
Side:
"Last week was a great one for the
West Side basket ball team. for they
defeated twice the fast Ida Grove
team.
On Friday night the boys were at
Ida Grove and in fast and we'll
played game they won out by the
score of So to %.
| On Saturday night the Ida Grove
team came here and some OF them still
had an idea that they could beat
West Side. But it is safe to say that
no team that cannot beat West Side
on the floor they are used to. can
come here and beat West Side on her
own floor. The game started out very
fast and all through was one of the
fastest and best played that we have
had here. But it was soon seen as
everybody expected that Ida Grove
could not win aiShough they put up a
strong fight. West Side was able to
maize baskets whenever they wanted
to and at the same time keep the Wis
itors- from scoring very much, so the
result of the first half wss q to II in
favor of the locals.
The second half started out very
much like the first, Just as fast and
just as snappy and with the visitors
bringing up the rear n regard to
baskets, and when the contest was
over the result of the half was West
