country boy has an good opportuni

team was 10 remain at home and
one to go to Garden City. In each
place the resident team was to take
the affirmative. giving each school
the opportunity to debate both sides
OF the question. The Lamar teams
won at each place. The team visit

High School Wins

The basket ball games on Mon
day evening between the boys and
girls teams of the high school and
similar ones made UP from the
alumni of the school resulted in a
double victory for the high school
by decisive scores. The alumni
discovered that q year or so be-
hind the counter or pillow or WELD
ing mop and dishrag may be con-
ducive to health and happiness but
1t doesn't constitpte a successful
training for basket hall and while
they showed flashes OF the old
form which returned them victors
in many hard fought contests. on
the whole they were outclassed by
their younger and more practiced
opponents. Several former stars
now say they understand why JEFF
fries couldn't come back.
