HIGH SCHOOL wins.
Boys and Girls Basket Ball Teams
Take JcrOme's Scalp.

Saturday evening, Jan. 90, saw the
Twin Falls high school we'll started on
its way toward the state championship
in both girls and boys basket ball. The
games were held in the splendid new
high school gymnasium, and consider
ing the fact that this was their first
schedule games, there was fairly
good attendance. 1t is believed, how
ever, that the people will support the
high school teams much better in the
future, especially when they learn
what good teams they are.
The girls game was opened at 1880,
with Principal Hughell of Jerome high
school, and Mrs. Mathys of Twin Falls
as officials. The Jerome girls have a
splendid team this year, and during
the first half it looked as if they were
going to win, but this did not last long,
for our guards were to much for the
small Jerome forwards. Then toward
the close of the first half our girls
awoke and succeeded in making three
points before its close. Score, Twin
Falls 8, Jerome 2.
In the second half, however, the
Twin Falls girls were fully awake, and
soon began to pile up the score, while
Jerome succeeded in scoring from one
foul, only. The score for the girls
game was: Twin Falls II, Jerome 8.
The Twin Falls girls deserve much
credit for this victory, because this
was the first game of the season for
them. Their team work was splendid
for SO little practice, and all that is
necessary for a championship team is
plenty of hard work on the part of
the girls and their coach, Mrs. Mathys

ately after the first half of the girls
game. Mr.. Grover of Jerome, and
Principal Jones of Twin Falls, acting
as officials. This proved to be one of
the fastest games ever witnessed in
Twin Falls, and raises great hopes for
the future. The Jerome team was
smaller than the Twin Falls boys, but
they were very fast on their feet. They
succeeded in making a field goal dur
ing the first few minutes of play, but
for the rest of the first half were un-
able to make any headway against ou1
big guards. The Twin Falls boys sue
ceeded in throwing three baskets dur
ing the first half, leaving the score 6-e
in their favor. The second half was
much more one-sided than the first
owing to the fact that the Jerome team
did not have the endurance of the
Twin Falls boys, and the score rapidly
rose until the end of the game. Dur
ing the last half Jerome scored two
points more, leaving the final score
Twin Falls 33, Jerome a.
During the last half Charles Grid
ner replaced Bailey at forward, and
played a good game until the close
The star player for the Twin Falls
/ team was Glen Kirkpatrick, who
, scored total of seventeen points dur
ing the game. This is a remarkable
J record for one man and if Twin Falls
| can develop forward to keep pace
with him, there will be no doubt as tC
] their being able to win the champion
) ship of the state.
