deep interest is being taken in the

that the congress will supply force

of articles that these correspondents

Basket Ball Teams
Offer Double Bill

The big double bill at the high school
gym Friday night when the Chicka-
sha girls and boys basket ball teams
will be opposed by the Verden girls
and NARROW boys, promises to be Of un-
usual interest, as some speedy going
is assured all the way along the line.
At any rate, the milling tomorrow
night will doubtless be as good as any
to be seen this year, unless the same
teams tangle again this year
In 1914 the dope pot leaked miser-
ably, scattering that commodity far
and near in a most ruthless manner.
1t is yet to be proved whether the
1915 batch of alleged information sery-
cd up in advance will trickle down the
same groove. There are certain facts
and figures in the cases pending thai
cannot be sidestepped. Briefly they
are, to-wit: verden has always de-
liyered the goods as advertised in the
matter Of a speedy girls basket bali
team. They are coached by Miss
Wantland, who shone so brilliantly in
the county tournament last spring and
who win be in the game Friday night.
The Chickasha girls team this year
has so far surpassed all expectations
as to efficiency, in proof Of which
statement is the result Of the game at
Comanche when the Chickasha brigade
were returned the winners. II to 10,
said defeat being the first administer
cd to the Comanche lassies in four
years. Elsie Stalker and Cora Moore
are said to be the best forwards the
Chickasha high school has ever pro
duced, Miss Stalker being especially
an adept at shooting baskets from
any angle or position. Ia the Co
manche game she shot four field goals
and seven frees and Miss Moore was
successful in one field goal. The en-
tire team seem to be as proficient IL
their departments as are the forwards.
