BASKET BALL.
School Teams Preparing to Win
Games This Year.

The Richfeld High School Basket Ball
Team comes out of its first encounter
with a clean victory. The boys met
the Wilson Stock Company players, at
the hall.Saturday afternoon, and played
close, interesting game, the score stand
ing 80 to 29--at the close. 1t looked like
win for the Wilson's, at the end of the
first half, but the local boys caught up
with them and gained one tally lead be-
fore the time was called to end the
game. 1t was the first time the local
boys had been together; they organ
lied only last week, and hadn't thought
of playing a real game for some weeks
to come. The Wilson players had had
some experience, and it was not thought
the locals would be able to beat them.
The girls basket ball team has made
arrangements to practice regularly Mon
day and Thursdays, and what other
times as may be agreed upon. The team
promises to be a strong one, and some
outside games will be arranged for as
soon as possible.

Nobody seems to have taken any par
ticularinter in the trapping of coyotes
near Richfield, andsthere must be sever
al hundred of them around to judge from
their barking and bowling of nights and
early mornings. Oh, perhaps there are
not that many; but at any rate there
must be one or. two, that come right to
the edge of town and dare every hunter
and every dog-in town to come out and
meet them half way. The Recorder edi-
tor has been minded to shine up his old
army rifle that will kill at mile, and
see if Mr.. Coyote is game enough to
stand fusillade. But every cold morn
ing he has thought better oft, and has
lowered lowered over the fire and the
printing Office as more pleasant and
profitable than coyote hunting.

fact a sort of oriental turban which
sets close to the head and falls. with
much grace, to the nape of the neck.
1t is impossible to keep the hair
confined during the buoyant steps and
frolicsome springing about in which
the new dances abound. These little
caps have proved the best solution to
the difficulty of keeping the head neat
looking at the dancing party.
There are many other designs in
caps, made of beads or OF tulle or Of
beaded and spangled materials. In
fact, the designs are almost as numer-
GUS as the steps that are danced.
There is no limit to the latter; every
one invents one for himself and his
partner and presents 1t to the devotees
of dancing with as much satisfaction
as painter takes in MASTERPIECES of
his art. JULIA 6oTToMLEY.
