If the state election had turned out
the same there would have been some
talk!
On Friday afternoon the two Basket
Ball teams, the two coaches Mr..
Mallery and Miss Gilchrist, the girls
business manager, Miss Raabe. with
| Clara and GertaRasmussen and Bobbie
| Darling as rooters started their merry
way to Breckenridge where they play
ed double games that night.
The games were played in the
gymnasium in the Breckenridge school
building.
The Morris people envied them their
hall every minute. Another thing the
Morris people wondered at and envied
was the large and enthusiastic crowd
of high school rooters and towns peo-
pie they had.
At o'clock the referees whistle
blew for the beginning of the girls
game. The line up of both teams
was the same as it had been in the
game here. Our girls we're handi-
capped however, by the necessity of
playing inside and upon a small floor.
The Breckenridge hall is 80 feet
shorter than the field called for by the
rules and while the Breckenridge girls
had used it every day for practice, the
arrangement was entirely new to our
team. The Morris team played
splendid game and at the end of the
first half the score was to 5 in our
favor. In the second Morris. had
another point, and Breckenridge scor-
ed basket. leaving the score tied at
the end of the game. To break the
tie, play was resumed and after two
minutes, Breckenridge made the de-
cisive score. Final score; Morris 7,
Breckenridge 9.
In the boys game which followed.
the score of 81 to 19, in favor of
Breckenridge tells story we would
not like to picture in detail. Our boys
had had but one practice together and
had never played inside. They played
a good defensive game and made their
opponents work for every point.
After the games the teams met in
the Assembly Room where a delight
ful program was given. A little
later we we're served in one of the
lower halls with lots of delicious oy
ster soup and "withum. The hall
was decorated with banners, and the
table long narrow one. The place
cards were little basket balls, with
knot of our colors, and the persons
name and the occasion written upon
it. After supper games were played
in the assembly room. We are glad
Mr.. Chapman and Rebecca Flynn be-
came sufficiently edicated" to know
what cit" is. The H. S. people sang
their H. S. song upon request. On
Saturday morning several exciting
trips were taken to Wahpeton and we
were given a novel sensation when
riding on the street car. Something
we of rustic Morris. cannot claim as
