.EMMETT'S TITLE
CLEAR
High School Easily Defeats
Twin Falls and Wins
Championship.

The title to the basketball cham
pionship of southern Idaho was SET
tied in favor of Emmett High school
in a most decisive manner at Boise
Friday night, when the never de-
feated Emmett quintet defeated
Twin Falls, the champions of south
eastern Idaho by score of 46 to
13. The Boise girls team won the
girls championship easily, defeat
ing Twin Falls 33 to 5.
The Statesman tells the story of
the game as follows:
"In a game which furnished more
excitement than any exhibition seen
n Boise this year the Emmett boys
:efeated the Twin Falls boys by a
score of 46 to 13. The Emmett boy
at times exhibited wonderful team
work, but this was excelled by indi-
vidual play. Every player seemed
trained to the minute, and they
showed the spectators some new
kels from apparently impossible po-
sitions The way in which the for
wards and center followed the ball
was almost uncanny, and when
they once passed it to their end of
the flccr it was usually foregone
conclusion that they would score.
For Emmett, Parrish played the
best game. The big center made
some points that would have been
caller lucky shots had it not been
that he made hem so frequently as
60 prove conclusively that his success
at scoring from difficult positions
was the result of long practice and
the development Of a perfect eye.
The score in detail follows:
