HIQh School Wins and Loses.

Last week the nlen scnOOl OaSKet
ball team took their first trip Of the
season, playing at Litchfeld Friday
evening, where they were beaten by
the score Of 1916, and going to De-
lano Saturday, where they defeated
that team 1915. Three of the team
had never played on foreign floor
with the crowd yelling against them,
instead Of for them, (altho at De-
lano Willmar's three rooters made
more noise. than the whole Delano
crowd) and the floor at Litchfeld is
about the worst place possible to be
initiated on. Slippery is hardly
strong enough word in that case, as
the floor was almost as smooth as
glass. During the first half the boys
held their own all right, leadino by
score of 90, after bad start.
Long passing was impossible and
several times some one would start
long throw only to have the ball
bound back from one Of the rafters
and roll down to the other end of
the floor, with both teams slipping
and sliding after it. It reminded one
of the old saying, "Side, Kelly,
Slide" Then last but not least there
were no lights within ten or twelve
feet of the baskets.
Litchfeld took the lead after a few
minutes of play, when Bierman shot
"a basket from the foul line and Chef
Peterson followed this with a field
basket. A few minutes later Carl
son scored for Willmar with field
basket and Swenson shot foul ty-
ing the score. The home team again
went ahead on a field basket and foul
by Bierman, and basket by Nelson.
With but a few minutes of the half
left to play Willmar tied the score on
baskets by Johnson and Taylor, each
of the forwards shooting his basket
after receiving the ball direct from
the tip off. Just before time was
called Nordstrom shot foul putting
his team in the lead.
Soon after the last half started
Litchfeld secured the lead and from
then on were never headed. c.. Pet
erson and Madsen each secured four
baskets during the last half, while
H. Peterson got one field basket and
Bierman two fouls and the same
number of field baskets.
For Willmar Nordstrom shot two
field baskets, while Carlson got one
and Taylor shot a foul. Chef Peter
son and Bierman starred in scoring
for the home team, each securing ten
points and Madsen followed close be-
hind with eight to his credit.
Nordstrom and Carlson secured
the most points for Willmar. The
contest could hardly be called bas-
ket ball game, but made fine sliding
contest, and since the Litchfeld team
had the benefit Of practicing on the
floor they knew about where to start
their slide. Time and again Bierman
and Peterson would start dribble
about the center Of the floor and slide
up under the basket for an easy shot.
At times some of the Willmar boys
would try to start dribble and their
feet would 60 alright but they could
not move ahead very fast. Something
on the order of treadmill.
The lineup follows:

temperance, Purity IN Politics and
Women's Rights. She realized early
in life that the institution we call
Saloon is our greatest enemy. When
she saw the drunkards, the forsaken
and the hopeless, in their pitiful con-
ditions, directly or indirectly caused
by the saloon she declared in force
full and eloquent language, that the
saloon, wherever it exists, is rob-
Der and murderer. 1t u.s. worthy of
neither love nor mercy, sympathy or
support, because there is no law it
respects, no promise it honors, no
home it protects, no child it does not
rob, no women it does not try to de-
moralize and no man it does not at
tempt to deprive Of dignity and self
respect. She knew that temperance
would produce greater efficiency,
local as well as national. We have
driven the saloon from some Of our
cities, few of our states, and let us
hope the day may soon come, when
the last saloon has shut it's door for
ever.
Purity in Politics. She under
stood what we are learning every
day-that politics is a necessity.
But she protested against the graft,
selfish motives and rottenness within
the political realm. Her prophetic
eyes saw, and her clear mind compre-
hended that the future Of a nation
does not, after all depend upon a
strong army, entrenched behind
strong Notifications, or upon ALI
ances with the strongest foreign ma

A demonstration of the fact that the
w-priced moier car of today can carry
four passengers almost anywhere under
the sun they may wish to GO was made
last Saturday when a model "35" Puck
climbed to the top of Mount Diablo with
three grown men and about 700 pounds
of baggage the property of some thirty
members of the Sierra Club who were
camping over night at the top. The car
was driven by Earl de Wore of the How
ard Automobile Company a, carried
Claude MCGEE OF the same company and
a newspaper man. 1t climbed the grade
which represents IN ascent of some a. 900
feet without mechanical difficulty aad
under its own power at all times. The
car with its three passengers left Oak
land Saturday noon travelling by way of
the Tunnel road to Danville, Contra Cos.
ia county, where it picked up the bag
gage OF the Sierra Club members and
obtained special permit to enter the
private roadway at the entrance of Pine
canyon leading to the mountain trails.
The party camped atthe top all night,
and Sunday. after photog- aphing the
car in its perilous position. started on the
descent. where the only barriers between
its occupants and wild p uuge into eter
nifty were Driver de Vor IS nerve and the
powerful braking of The machine-both
OF which proved to e equal to the task.
