BASKET BALL
Newsy Notes by Our Sport
ing Editor


Last Friday was Jonah" day for
Rocky Ford basket ball teams. Tine
High school boys were defeated by La
mar in that city to the tune OF 26 to 8.
There is no disgrace in this defeat as our
boys have not been in training for foot ball
since last Thanksgiving day. The rough
tactics used by Lamar and permitted by
their referee the first half, won them the
game. Our boys depended upon the
referee to protect them according to
rules and were sadly disappointed. The
last half referees were changed and
Lamar scarcely saw the ball for Rocky
Ford's splendid team work. Yet this
half was marked by numerous fouls.
The result of this game puts Lamar. Las
Anmas and Rocky Ford on even basis
again and Rocky Ford must win the next
two games for the championship of the
valley.
The girls were also defeated by the La
Junta girls at La Junta. yet this was to be
expected. The last ha f our girls showed
superior playing. which goes to prove
