DoINes OF THE PAST WEEK
BY "Newsy Ned"

Richmond, Dec. 22.-
On Tuesday last, the little two
year-old daughter Of Fred Hope had
the misfortune to fail on piece Of
broken glass while at play with the
result that the index finger ON her
right hand was severely cut. DR..
II. A. Adamson was promptly called
and took the little child to Logan
where she was given the proper med
zeal treatment and she is now getting
along as well as could be expected
under the circumstances.
The High school closed for the
Christmas holidays last Friday and
on Friday night the Students Asso-
iation gave High school party to
the students and teachers at the High
school. The evening was spent in
paying games and dancing. Every
body present had good time and
went home feeling that they were
well paid for the trouble they had
gone to in preparing the party. Each
member Of the faculty was presented
with nice book as a Christmas pres
ent from the students. 't
On Friday afternoon the High school
basketball team went to Logan and
met the second year class team at the
Agricultural College In practice
basketball game. At the end Of the
time Of the game the teams stood with
b tie Of % and in playing OF the
tie the College team got the frst two
points. making the score 80 to % in
favor Of the College team. During the
game much comment was heard from
athletic authorities and students Of
the College In regard to the good,
steady, consistent playing OF the Rich
mond boys. They were IN the game
every minute as the score shows and
played excellent ball. The boys have
developed wonderfully in the handl-
ing and passing OF the ball during the
past week and will soon be able to
put up an article in ball that will put
Richmond well up among the High
schools of the state. Somewhat Of
a comparison of the Richmond High
school team with the other High
school teams can be made from the
fact that the same college team that
played Richmond last Friday In al
tie game recently played one Of the
other county High schools and
defeated them with h score OF SO to
13 which shows that Richmond CON-
pares well with the other schools in
basketball. Trip was the individu-
al star of the game on Friday, max
ing more points than any other man
on the floor. The team has been un-
able to get many games thus far as
other teams have had their dates full
but Coach Plant says that he has q
number Of games under way SO that
we will have things lively along bas'
ketball lines after holidays.
