enthusiasts. The local High School
team, which has run up such a long
list of victories, left for Denver Fri
day afternoon, where they played a
match game with the crack aygrega-
tion from Castle Rock, Saturday night.
The latter players are the holders of
the High School championship of the
southern division, while the local or
Ganization held the same title in the
northern division. Two previous games
had been played, each team winning by
. small margin on it's home floor, so
the tie had to be played off on neu-
tral field
The game was called at $50 p. m. in
the Y.M.C.A. gymnasium. the offic-
ials being, Aurand. University of Colo
rado, referee; Wilmore, Wheatridge
H gh School, umpire, Smith, Denver
YIN. CA, timekeeper and Ward, Cas-
tie Rok, score keeper. The first half
was marked by ragged playing on both
sides. The home bows failing to get
their team work into effective use, the
southeners being very fortunate in
in basket throwing. The half ended
lis in Csstle Rocks favor. The Sec
ond half was one of the greatest ex-
hibitions of fast, heady besket bal
playing ever witnessed in the state.
The Idaho team, though playing by far
the snappiest game, seemed wholly un-
able to hit the basket; for gritty,
speedy playing, however, it was unex-
celled. With some eight minutes of
play and Castle Rock leading by mar
gin of about nine or ten points, the
Idaho boys began to make good. Nc
Clelland started the scoring with long
basket, and by playing at top speed the
locals not only overcame the lead of the
Rock team, but equalled their scoring
during eight minutes by and won by one
point. Score, 20 to 19.
A large delegation of High school
students and Idaho people was on hand
to cheer our team to victory, and when
the final score was announced they
surely did themselves proud. The fea-
ture of the game was the work of the
Idaho hprings guards. whose playing is
deserving Of particular mention, it be
ing of true varsity class"
Not a small portion of the credit for
the success of this years teamis due to
Mr.. S. L. Ripley, athletic director and

and systematic coaching the team has
reached its present efficiency. From
