Our team will take part in the
High School meet at Colorado
Springs this Saturday and we ex-
pect them to bring home some
silver ware, Coach Healy has
set his heart for the big relay cup
and he will make somebody run
for it.
We expect Rocky Ford to again
win the Southern Colorado-N North
ern New Mexico championship in
the big meet to be held here May
10. This will be the biggest meet
ever held in Rocky Ford. Teams
from Trinidad, Ration, Walsen-
burg, two Pueblo schools, La
Junta, Las Animas, Lamar and
Holly will take part in the events.
In all nearly 100 boys will enter
the contests.
Although our high school ball
team has been unsuccessful in
finding high school teams to play
they have been having plenty of
good games to put them in shape
for the state championship.
Thursday last they played the
town team, and the game was one
which all the fans enjoyed. AS
usual the school boys made
good showing and won the game
by score of 4 to 5. The colts
had the lead all through the game
but things began to look different
in the ninth when the town even
ed up the score.
Saturday they played at Fowler
again, winning Z to 3. We have no
particulars Of the game, except
that it was very loosely played.
We would like to have a game
with that much "blowed up" team
of Central High School of Pueblo
but Pueblo has refused to play.
They are evidently afraid of loos-
ing their rep and we believe
their fears well grounded. Man
ager Healy is now trying to get
a game with the G. G. Freshmen
at Colorado Springs. We also
understand Lamar has a team,
and revenge will be sweet if we
get next
