BASKET BALL
SEASON OPENS
WITH VICTORY
Cairo Completely Outplays
Charleston and Make.
Score Of 27 to IL
CHARLESTON START IS GOOD
Cairo Boys Quickly Get
Into Action At Only
Critical Point
CHARLESTON START IS GOOD

The local high school team in a
fast and brilliant game outplayed
Charleston last night at the Armory
Hall and defeated them by the score
Of 81 to 2. Referee Kirk of Charles
ton called the game promptly at
500 o'clock and the excitement
from this time on was intense. It
seemed at first that Cairo would be
left in the cold, the ball being in
Charleston territory most OF the
time. Frequent attempts were made
by the Charleston forwards at the
baskets and the most of them were
Cairo rooters, but Capt. Roche, play
ing guard, neatly caught pass and
threw the ball the length of the
hall to Ireland who passed to Metz
ger and this worthy, from difficult
position threw the first basket
counting Q for Cairo. A foul was
then called on Cairo and Capt. Lee
of Charleston threw the ball straight
in the ring counting for Charles
ton. BY fast playing Ireland was
given the bau and scored another
for Cairo To keep the game inter.
esting Forward Ashby of Charleston
scored couple more for his team
and the ball was again tossed up be-
tween the centers for score which
was Immediately followed by a tally
from Browning. Here Cairo took on
new speed and scored repeatedly,
and Charleston in this half scored
three more baskets. The half ended
with Cairo 10 points in the lead,
the score--17 to Z.
Second Half Fast.
Ireland In this half proved him
self a star as a basket thrower and
scored times, throwing in the
whole game baskets. Metzger was
close second however with S bas-
kets. This half was fast and snappy
and ended with the final score Of
27 to 12.
In short the Cairo boys are to be
compiimented ON their fine work for
the Charleston team is certainly
one to be looked on with pride and
on home grounds should give Cairo
as hard a game as any team in
Southeast Missouri.
Roche was at his best In throwing
fouls, shooting 3 out OF and
played his usual fast game through
out both halves. Browning also
played a good game at guard and
threw 2 baskets for Cairo. All the
boys played good game and did
credit to both themselves and their
school.
The line up was the following:
Charleston-Ogilby, c: Lee Capt

banked up high and angry, dark and

familiar with the cyclones of the prai-

some of their previous experiences

reached Pinehurst, they burst, and
the rain fell in sheets of water. In a
few minutes the road was a river and
