equaled by any team, though they may
have played basketball for years.
The most commendable feature of
the game was the school enthusiasm
and spirit in evidence on every side.
Some of the visitors pretended that
they would pay the little tots if they
would cheer for the visiting team, but
candy had no charms for even the
first grade pupils when such a con-
test was being waged. They stood by
their colors.
The people of Centralia gave the
game a good crowd and showed the
visiting team every consideration that
even the most fastidious could de-
sire, and from start to finish not one
word escaped the lips 6f single con-
testant that could be subject to just
criticism. A more manly set of boys
never met in friendly contest.
The final score in the game stood
fourteen to nine in favor of the Cen

The withdrawal of permission for
Mexican troops to pass through Texas

an understanding is reached as to the
number of Mexican troops to be thus
transported. When the understanding
