largest crowd of the season. This
tends to show that the game is be-
coming popular here. Although the
play was little rough, no one was

seemed to enjoy it. The Loomis boys
deserve credit for the way they played.

the star throughout the whole game.

If the two teams had been more even

would have been closer.
The Oroville boys played good
game, especially in the last half, when
they kept the ball at their end of the
hall the biggest part of the time.
The Loomis crowd came in on the
train from the west at 500 in the
evening and left again at 7 a. m. Sat

The game will probably be returned
