HAVE CLOSE CONTEST.
The junior-senior game was one
of the closest and hardest fought bat
ties played on the school floor for
some time but when it was all over
the juniors lead by one point, 20 to
10. The juniors fairly swamped the
seniors in the first half and at half
time the score stood 16 TO 6. In the
second period, though, the seniors
outplayed their opponents until the
last few minutes of play when the
juniors again rallied and with but a
minute of time left, Smith, a junior
forward, rushed down the floor and
threw the winning basket from a diff
flcult position. II was a beautiful
shot and IT came just at the right
time for the juniors. On the senior
team the honors were evenly divid.
ed between Pratt and Budelier, each
scoring eight points. Huntoon was
the heaviest scorer for the juniors
throwing three field baskets. Cook

Before a crowd that completely

OF the second annual boys basketball

afternoon and they resulted in vic
tories for the juniors and sopho-

pecially the junior-senior contest,

the period lead, 10 TO Z. But the
sophomores were not 10 be defeated

intermission came back strong and
in a few minutes they had a safe
lead over the freshmen. Streckfus,
sophomore forward. and Reeves,
freshman forward, we're the individ-

II and II points respectively.
Streckfus' regularity in throwing
foul throws was a feature OF the
game while Reeves ran him a close

won most favorable comment. The
Minneapolis Journal in it's account of
the recital says:
Frances Aida, the soloist, is a So
prano of the first order, possessing a
voice of exceptional beauty, range
and color. In all respects she is a
truer soprano than has sung in Min
neapolis for many a day. Few sing
with greater ease than did Nine.
Aida. In the Charpentier aria from
Louise" Nine. Aida impressed with
the finish of her art. In the encore
Ave Maria" from "Otello," she even
showed greater warmth and charm,
but she was at her best in the beau
tiful Puccini aria Entrance of But
terfy" from the opera of the same
name. The "Manon" gavotte from
Massenet's "Manon" she sang with
delightful artistry, revealing herself
equally at home in the lighter field.
The st. Paul Pioneer Press says
Of her: The singer has a very at
tractiye stage presence and pleasing
J personality and she was recalled
again and again by the audience
. She responded with a double encore
