TWO More Victories for Hamilton
From Basket Ball.
The scores from each of the basket
ball games played last Friday evening
resulted in victory for Hamilton
teams.
The first game was played between
Dallas City high school and Hamilton
high school This resulted in score
OF 40 to 8. This would seem as a
dreadfully one-sided game, 1t was in
point of scores but throughout it
was a hard fought game.
The second game was played be-
tween a pick up team from Hamilton
and the All Stars from Carthage,
This resulted in 81 to 19 In favor OF
Hamilton. This was also a great
game and Hamilton did great playing
to take that game from Carthage, as
they were mighty husky bunch, and
had some odds in their favor.
