For the first time in several years
the High School has been represented
by basketball team. This year.
however, they can boast of one of
The best teams in The state. Bv de-
feating the Deaf Mutes they have
Jumped in championship class. The
Mutes have one Of the strongest teams
in the state. They recently defeated
the Little Rock Hi and the State Nor
NAL at Conway; thus the significance
OF the victory over them by the To-
calls. Under the driving of Coach
Osborne they are rapidly rounding to
form, and a speeder, clever bunch is
hard to find. A stiff schedule has
been arranged by Coach Osborn. They
will meet the Monticello Aggies at
the "Y" Friday afternoon and night.
Little dope can be gotten on the Ag-
ges but it is thought that they have
strong team. The week following
the Aggies game the locals will meet
Argenta here and play a return game
there the following Friday night. No
further games have been definitely
arranged by Mr.. Oszorn as yet but
Principle Allen stated yesterday that
if the boys showed good form in the
next three games he would enter
them in the Annual State Tourna-
ment. The Hi boys expect hard
fight with Farmers and are prac-
tiGing hard every day. The locals
are doubly anxious to mop up" with
the Aggies because of a little mis-
understanding last fall in football
The Farmer Boys CLEANED the alb
surd idea from somewhere that the
local football team broke schedule
,gans with them because of fear 20
meet them. Such an idea of course
is foolish, but when it takes an idea
Tong time to sift in a persons noodle
- it usually takes it a long time to
in the "ivories" that the Pine Bluff Hi
got the yellow" up their backs. Of
the utter absurdity of such an id "a
the Hi boys will convince the corn
raisers" in two games here Friday.
The local boys are past grand mas
ters in delivering that delicate sting
called defeat and the Farmer Boys
from Monticello will be the next vic
tins.
