much to do beyond the usual technc IN the care OF

nothing extraordinary in the man 5 physique; as
far as could learn he had always received his share

wound was of a sort in which mental authority

School Notes.

On last Saturdays games with the
Benson High school, each school took
a game, the boys losing to and the
girls winning % to 10. Morris's line
up in football was considerably weak
er than it was at Benson, while Ben
sons was stronger. Almost the first
thing Morris pushed Benson over the
line for safety. Benson had first
rate kicker and whenever they got
close enough to make good kicks,
they did. In this manner they made
all their points. We hope to arrange
another game with Benson if possible
and as the line will be strengthened
and the team bettered in every way,
we hope to clean them up.
The girls played fine game. Ben :
son being outclassed and having
smaller players had no chance WHAT
ever. Team work was visible all
thru the game in Morris's playing and
Miss Mcguire is to be congratulated
on her fine team. Florence Ortman
was the star player, making most of
the baskets and playing all around the
Benson team. Good work was mani
tested thruout the game by all the
players. And as Morris dog cleaned
up Benson's dog we are little more
than even. All the members of the
High School will be glad to hear that
we just about made expenses.
One of our noble Seniors with the
help of a Junior went down to the
fair grounds and once more took up
basket ball baskets and placed them
in the school yard for the girls prac-
tice.
