LAS VEGAS TEAMS
WON and LOST
SATURDAY
GIRLS DEFEATED THE DUKE
CITY HIGH SCHOOL; BOYS
LOST TO VARSITY.

Las Vegas won and lost Saturday
evening in the basketball games at
albuquerque. The Normal girls de-
feated the Duke City high school by
score Of IL to II, while the Nor
NAL boys lost to the University of
New Mexico By score Of "a to 21.
Professor J. G. Baker, coach of the
Normal boys team, says his pupils
doubtless would have been able to
win from the University, had they
not been tired out after their game
with the Indians on Friday night.
The Normal led in the University
game until the last few minutes Of
play, when the players seemed to
lose their ginger and the Albuquer
que boys succeeded in nosing a point
or two ahead before the final whistle
blew. Baker says tie Normal teams
were given the squarest of square
deals by the officials and were well
entertained.
The University, it is stated, when
it induced the Las Vegas teams to
stay over for games Saturday night,
agreed that a return contest between
the boys teams should be played in
Las Vegas. Since winning the battle
of bothtub-night, however, the Uni
versity management has discovered
that it has games with other Albu-
querque teams that win prevent it
coming to Las Vegas For years past
it has been the custom for each team
to have a game upon its own court
and there should be no reason why
the University should refuse to come
up here unless it is afraid to jeop-
ardize. its victory of Saturday even
ing, which the Normal people say,
would be an unsportsmanlike way Of
doing.

CHRISTIANS BEAT
The BAPTIST
BOYS
THIS WAS NOT A DENoMlNA-
TIoNAL FieHT-lT WAS ONLY
A BASKETBALL GAME.

The Sunday School basketball lea
que is going to be huge success if
the attendance and interest and the
playing of the teams Saturday night
is any criterion, A crowd that filled
the gallery witnessed the games and
rooted for all it was worth.
The first game proved to be the
star attraction of the evening. This
match was between the Christian
boys and the Baptists. The game
was as close as any game could be
and both teams pul up a splendid ex-
hibition of ball The first half
ended with the score to Z. The
second half proved to be just as
closely and holly contested as the
first and up to two minutes before
the end of play the score stood 9 to
9, when the Baptitsts threw one goal
and then the Christians quickly
threw two in succession, the game
ending 1S to II in favor of the Chris
tians.
For the Christians the entire team
put up fine game. Little grand
standing" was apparent. All the
members seemed to catch the spirit
of team work, which, in the end, won
the game for them. The Baptist boys
are not at all core about their de-
feat They feel almost as though
they had won, because Of the close
ness of the score, and when these
two teams meet again they say
"some feathers vii. be flying"
The second game was a correct
imitation Of a so horsepower auto in
race with a 10 year old burro.
Those Methodist "fellers' sure have
some team and the way they
''romped" on those Y. M. c. A, boys
was a shame-a mean, downright
shame. Talk about your team work,
basket shooting and lightning pass
-phew-how those IN. Els"
did go. After the smoke had cleared
away and the score board was con
suited, it was found that the Metho-
dists had run uD 81 points, while the
'Y" had a paltry 10 to their credlt.
While Of course, II the Y. M. c. A.
team had not had such hard-but
what's the use Of talking. they were
beat and beat bad. But, they say,
wait until next time.
Next Saturday the Methodists will
play the Christians, and this ought
to be crackerjack game, and the
Baptists play the Presbyterians. The
latter team is an unknown quantity
and some more surprises may be in
store for those who witness the next
jouble-header. Following is the
