Defeat in Victory.

The basket ball game in the GYM
nasium, between South Central and
Rathdrum, last Friday evening was
most peculiar one from many
points Of view.
South Central was much heavier
and taller than the local boys, and in
the few minutes Of practice threw
goals from all points of the compass.
Their team work was very good and
their lodging very clever indeed.
The first small clash came when
both officials supposed they were to
be referee. The Spokane team had
failed to notify the home team Of the
referee and lost their power to APP
point. However, to offset this Spo-
kane objected to either of the men
officiating. as both were connected
with the schools. If Cook of Spo-
kane and Professor Spoerry Of this
city could not officiate, who would?
There was no one present who could
do it, and so Rathdrum, relying up
on the honor and integrity Of Cook,
allowed the matter to pass.
Rathdrum quickly shot the first
goal, and Spokane followed with the
second. Then came the combat on
rules. McNett, the Rathdrum CEN
ter, received the ball with both hands
and began running and bouncing the
ball with both hands; he delivered j,
to McCaddam who placed it in the
basket. The whistle Of the referee
sounded and the goal was no; count

day evening was victory for the

margin, according to the rules, but
was awarded to the South Central
high school team of Spokane by
Referee Cook OF Spokane, who ac-
companied the visiting team. The
Official score stood 26 for South
Central and 1o for Rathdrum, al
though it is claimed Rathdrum
made enough to have won had the
referee been correct and impartial
in all his decisions.
The teams seemed to be we'll
matched and played skilfully. AT
the end of the first half the score
was e,en. A large crowd witness
ed the game, at the close Of which
numerous complaints were heard
relative to unfairness on the part
OF the Spokane referee.
A game between the town team
and the second high school team
was won by the latter.

ed for the reason that McNett had
fouled. How had ne fouled? was the
ready question, for the dribble is the
play Of an expert. 1t is not often
used because it is foolish move if
the player cannot handle the ball.
The rule dribble is play in
which the player advances more
than two steps while throwing, roll
ing or bouncing the ball against one
or both hands, one or more times. In
a dribble (three or more steps, both
hands shall not be used on the ball
simultaneously more than once"
The referee held that the play was
dribble from the instant McNett
caught the ball with both hands and
began running. Prof. Spoerry ar
gued that the play did not become a
dribble until the third step and that
the player could place both hands,
simultaneously, on the ball once after
the third step had been taken. The
referee held this as being the second
time for both hands and called the
foul.
The decision Of the referee stood
and Spokane threw the free throw
and made the count. Thus did Spo-
kane gain one point and Rathdrum
lose two. Three times did this hap
pen during the game, and yet the
score stood lo to rs in favor Of Spo-
kane. while it should have been %
to Is in favor Of Rathdrum.
What would the score have been
had this play not been stopped? On
three other occasions did Umpire
Spoerry ask the referee to call fouls
or to disallow goals made by Spo-
kane when their men were standing
over the line during free throws.
Cook would not do it, and, after
wards, cautioned his team, on each
occasion of free throw, to get back
OF the line, clearly showing great
Partially.
Since the game. the rules in ques-
ton have been referred to several
Spokane referees and coaches, and
all agree that Cook was wrong on
every point
The game will be taken up with
the Spokane school authorities. and
It will be shown whether or not Spo-
kane desires to send men out to steal
games in this way.
Rathdrum will meet the Cnur d.
Alene high school here in the local
gymnasium, December 81.

THAT CHRISTMAS PIE.
Confession of the Sinner Who
Doctored the Mincemeat.

1t had been our family custom to put
brandy in all the mince pies and to
put in at Christmas time sufficient
amount to enable the partakers thereof
to detect that there was really some
thing in it. 1t often went so far as to
deserve the remark of my grandfather
that we put mince pie in our brandy.
With this as the family precedent,
imagine the CONSERVATION when it was
learned that Rev. jeremiah Scroggins,
our new minister and an avowed tee
totaler, had accepted mothers invita-
ton to Christmas dinner. A vote was
taken at the family table 1--WE were a
democratic household). and it was de-
cided that out of respect to our guest
the brandy would be omitted from the
big mince pie.
Now. each of us In his heart of hearts
felt that the pie would be improved il
just wee bit of brandy were added.
So |, for one, resolved to do the deed.
Accordingly l sought out the big stone
crock in which reposed the mince-
meat and poured in what thought
was moderate quantity of brandy.
It's wonderful how true is the adage
about great minds running in similar
channels, for every other member of
the family, including my father. sur
reptitiously did the same thing, Later
we figured that the mincemeat must
have been treated to nigh unto q quart.
Mother reserved her brandy until
Christmas day. when, before the pie
was baked, she added generous
amount OF the strong stuff.
With hearts as high as the flaky ME
crust itself we all watched mother
carve that pie and serve it.

LOCAL OPTION CONTEST

Drys Have Counter Evidence to
Uphold Result.
A late dispatch from Ceur d.
Alene states that in reply to the
contest Of the local option election
in kootenai county, the "dry"
forces are ready to prove counter
charges that the vets violated the
laws in several precincts, includ
ing Spirit Lake where it is alleged
80 persons voted who were not
registered. 1t is said Chas. L.
Heitman has offered his services
to assist County Attorney c. H.
Potts to uphold the result OF the
election in the courts If it is found
necessary.
The "wets" by Elk Mayor Seal
Ion of Ceur d'Alene, filed their
contest Dec. II, the last day Of
the 20 day limit in which contest
could be filed. The complaint
alleges that the "drys" at Post
Falls and Stateline Influenced
voters by serving free chicken pie
dinners on election day.
It is believed, however, that the
contest is but last resort of the
defeated side and will amount to
nothing Of Importance.
