Made Good Showing.

Although thu local representatives
failed to win a place In the tourna-
ment they made a very creditable
showing and received much praise for
their work. In the tournament they
met the best high school teams in
the middle west and It is not to be
wondered at that they failed to carry
away first honors. The fact that the
Evanston team won the tournament
for the fourth consecutive time
shows that they had great advan-
tage over the visiting teams by their
familiarity with the floor and with
thu rules under which the contest was
held.
The members OF the team were
expected to return from Evanston
some time today and plans are being
made for giving them a warm recep

not so vicious as that of the top rank

Schwengers and Powell, the Cana

 Truth it is that Mrs. Villas again played better golf than Mrs. Fitch, but tournaments against bogey wero ever treacherously deceptive things. with the winner frequently dropping out of the sky, and Mir.
