Brunswick VS.. KeytesviIle

Some time last week, at night,
when all was peaceful and quiet
everywhere else in the county,
the "Invincible"? X. H. S.
Basket Ball Club sailed forth to
Brunswick and met the B. H. S.
revivalists. Score everything to
nothing in favor of B. H. S. A
case of too much confidence on
the part of our boys, too much
boosting and roofing by the
Courier, coupled with the best
playing the Brunswick Club ever
done. In fact, La Banta and the
Z foot and an axhandle forward
of B. H. S. played a faultless
game. and that's not all; every
one Of the Brunswickers out
played our invincibles. Electric
light. automobile flashlights,
fans. umpire or ground had lit
tie or nothing to do with il.
Nothing but sailing right in
from the start by B. H. S. to
win and doing IL.
The umpire. Harry Tidd, an
old Keytesville boy and a good
all round athlete was entirely
satisfactory-the only feature
in the whole proceedings that
was satisfactory to K. II. S.
But we told them so-privately,
Of course. Now our prediction
is, that in daylight, at home or
abroad. the X. II. S. has got TO
put up a better game than Il has
ever played, or B. II. S. will an
mex its scalp permanently.

fore closing to 20 to press. we
