DAWSON HAD SURPRISE
FOR HIGH SCHOOL TEAM.
Locals Beaten by Score of 46 to 3

AVCdlo behleh Dy score OF 10 TO ).
A surprise party awaited the local
High School basket ball team when
1t went up against the Dawson high
school team Friday night in the first
out-of-toWn game of the season. The
home team was beaten by the decisive
score of 46 to 8.
The local team was outclassed from
the beginning and had little hope of
winning after the game got well
under way as the strange court and
the lack of familiarity with the
grounds of the Dawson team was
too great handicap to be overcome.
The ceiling at the Dawson court was
very low, in comparison with the one
here which is as high as the build
ing, so that the only manner in
which goals could be gained was by
getting the proper rebound from the
ceiling into the basket. The thorough
familiarity of the Dawson team with
these condition gave them a great
handicap in the game.
The members Of the team were as
follows: Sherlock, center; Gartner,
forward; Chester, forward; Brooks,
guard Griffin, guard. Monahan and
McMath played in the last half Of the
game. Murray Dunn was referee
for the occasion, and Mosley, Of Daw-
son time-keeper. The game on the
whole was well-played one and
free from unnecessary wrangling.
The locals hope to have rturn
engagement with the Dawson bunch
Friday night week, at which time the
fur will fly again 1t is hoped that
the locals will retrieve their defeat
at that time
