SOUTH CANON WON DOUBLE
HEADER SATURDAY NIGHT

The South Canon City high school
basketball teams won a double header
from the Florence organization last
Saturday night at the Y. NJ. G. A.
gymnasium. The boys team was vic
tor over Florence high by score of
twenty-one to twenty and the girls
team won by slightly larger margin
tho final score being "a to II. Both
contests were Interesting and brought
out to an unusual degree the science
of the game. There was a large
crowd of spectators in attendance and
great deal OF enthusiasm was evok-
ed.
The game between the boys teams
was fast and furious. and, at times,
rather rough; due to the keen rivalry
that has existed between them for
supremacy. BY its triumph Saturday
night South Canon won lead over
Florence that 1t can hardly hope to
wipe out this season.

was given the victory by the judges
by vote of to l.
Messrs Harl Tanner, Hunter Pal
mer, eslie Glanv.lle and Jack Bouch-
er were selected to debate against
Denver and Pueblo schools some
time in March,. These young men
will accordingly represent their school
in the important triangular debate
OF which Denver East High and
Pueblo Centennial are the other
schoos i'll crested.
The young men debating last night
were Affirma i've, Max Harry, Alfred
Sinden AMI esl.e Granville; Negative
Hunter Palmer, Harl Tanner and Jack
Boucher.
The auditorium of the church was
well filed with supporters of debat-
ing and the efforts of the young men
were received enthusiastically. Hun
ter Palmer and Harl Tanner are veter-
ans of many hard fought debates and
last night they displayed their excel
lent ability to a great degree. Their
poise and calmness helped them large

year but each made pleasing impress

In his rebuttal Alfred Sinden brought
applause from the audience by the
quick thrusts and sound logic which
he flung at the arguments of his op-
ponents. Jack Boucher, so small that
just his head showed above the pulpit

disadvantage that the first speaker ou

1t will be of interest to readers Of
this rar er to note some of the things
accomplished and work done by the

the year with its credit good, due ID

that the pul lie look over the work
, done by the association and IL 1t feels
that the work justifes the continued
support of the citizens of the COM
r,unity, the committee would appreci-
ate Just as hearty cooperation in the
special campaign which is about to be
conducted as was given last year at
this time. with the assurance that the
funds placed in the hands OF this COM
