GIRLS WIN
Crockett Girls Defeated at Basket Ball
In Holly Contested Game
Friday Afternoon.

Nothing has been said of Palestine's
basket ball team of girls, but we have
one of sufficient strength to trounce
seasoned team from the High School
at Crockett The Crockett team, chap
eroned by Miss Minnie Craddock, ar
rived on the late train from the south
yesterday afternoon and met our local
girls in the Y NJ. C. A. gymnasium at
5 o'clock to receive pointers in basket
throwing. The visitors proved to be
a live bunch and were well drilled in
team work, but the score just piled
up in favor Of Palestine until the
Itime-keeper's final whistle blew and it
was discovered that our girls were
victorious by a count of % to s. The
star plays were made by Grace Hutch
inson and Georgia Laura Dicb in
basket throwing, nearly all the points
for Palestine being made by these two
forwards. OF course they were adj
mirably assisted by their co-workers.
Too much cannot be said in praise of
Crockett's team work; they played
like clock work, but they were at
serious disadvantage on account of
their unfamiliarity with the official
rules which were used in yesterdays
game. Another game is scheduled for
$3.50 o'clock this afternoon.
The lineup follows:
