BASKET BALL
HAS THE FLOOR
Lewiston Normals Come For
Thursday and Friday Night
Local Games

Local basket ball enthusiasts
are well keyed up and brim full
OF expectancy over the two gam
es to be played at the Armory
Thursday and Friday nights of
this week between the Lewiston
State Normal team and local tai
ent, and large and thoroughly
appreciative audience in witness
of the game is expected.
The town team is scheduled to
81 the entertaining act for the
visitors the first evening, and has
been doin faithful and effective
team practice to that end. The
high school boys are preparing
to take the strangers in and do
for them on the second evening
of the tournament. Swift and in
teresting team work may be look
ed for at both of these games,
and the individual who has any
sporting blood in his circulation,
or who can be induced to whoop
it up for any kind of athletics, will
miss out if he fails to connect
with this bill Of fare.
Band Will Play.
The band has generously con-
sented to contribute it's quota to
the interest and entertainment on
Thursday and Friday nights, by
playing ON the streets and at the
Armory before the basket ball
games begin. This will be high
ly appreciated both by the ball
players and the general public.
Grangeville 80, Vollmer IL.
The Grangeville high school
team went to Vollmer Saturday
and took another game from the
basket ball aggregation of that
ambitious little city by a score OF
80 to IL. The Vollmer boys are
not match for the locals in
matter Of skill or generalship,
but are improving rapidly with
the practice they have been get
ting. They are fair in their play,
however, and gentlemanly and
hospitable entertainers, which
speaks volumes for them.
Prof. Harper, our high school
principal, accompanied the local
boys and refereed the game. This
was the second game won from
Vollmer by our boys, and no ar
rangements for further meetings
have been made.
Town Team 20, High IL.
In weird game of basket ball
at the Armory Friday night the
local town team again tied with
the husky high school lads on
the number of games won. The
high school boys did not appear
to be up to their usual form of
playing and lost to their oppon-
ents with score of IL to 20.
1t may have been that the signs
were not right for the high
school boys to win; or that the
town bunch cut loose with an as
sortment of spectacular plays. In
any event the latter named aggre
CATION got away with the long
end of the score, superior team
work again doing the business.
TKS high school boys were dis
concerted by the absence of some
Of their first team from the line
up and did not put the usual
snap and ginger into the game.
that places them in the first class
of players, and wins contests for
them when the odds are adverse.
For the high school Manning,
Monroe, DeHaven, Vansise, Me
Eyers and Corum did the losing
act very gracefully, while the
town team composed of Fisher,
Arnold, Harper, Ward and Green
ough, were somewhat too bewild-
cred at the weirdness and result
Of the game to indulge in any
loud talk over the victory.
Played Double Header.
The basket ball enthusiasm in
Grangeville grows apace. On
Monday night the first and sec
ond teams of the high school
girls held forth in a double head
er at the Armory. The first con
test between the second team OF
the high school girls and a team
selected from the young ladies
of the town exclusive of the high
school ended in a score OF | to
0 in favor of the former named
team.
