l
and girls of the High School met those
of Julesburg in games played on the
floor of the latter. In all about twelve
cars Of players and rooters went over
and our rooters cure did show Julesburg
how to yell.
The girls game. which was played
first. started out very nicely, our girls
making the first two points. But as the
game proceeded the Julesburg girls,
who seemed to have good luck shooting
baskets, gained several points. The
loss Of the girls game can easily be &C
counted for. We must remember that
this is the first year for our girls and on
larger and strange floors 1t is very diff
cult for new and undeveloped team to
be winning team. Nevertheless they
did well and showed that with more
practice they will develop good team.
Immediately after the girls game
vas over our boys and their opponents
sprang upon the floor for little warm
ing up. Everybody was eager to see
these teams come together. for many
Of them knew the speed of both, and
were sure a good game would be the re
suit At the sound Of the referees
whistle the warming up ceased and the
teams quickly got in readiness for n
twenty minute struggle. The ball went
up in the center and the game was on.
Midst the blowing of horns and yelling
the rooters both teams fought hard for
victory. The time went on and the ex
element grew. First the Holyoke boyo
would make basket to be followed by
another by their opponent. thus tieing
the score. Twenty minutes of such
playing went by and the warning for
the frat half was sounded. The score
was now q tie. Is te l3 Both teams
left the floor sweating and painting for
ten minutes rest. Each team got to-
gether and began to plot against the
opponent in order to capture the game
during the next half. Ten minutes
passed and position was again taken by
the players. Each team was bound to
win the day ifclean and spsedy playing
could do 1t. The interest and excite.
ment Of this half was even greater than
that Of the first. as the score continued
to hang almost tie at all times and
the end was fast approaching. Every
minute Of skillful playing counted and
every point made by each team met
with extrome cheering. Time up"
was soon called and the score book
showed 20 to % In favor Of Juicsburg
This leaves each team with tho same
number Of pointf. There was no chance
ia play of the tie that night Holyoke
10 asking Juleshurg for another game
on n neutral floor. Probably Sterling's
iioor ~ II would not be fair for either
team to play Il on either homo floor.
High School team has played six
games with other towns and won four,
tied one, and lost the other. We mus,
expect TO lose some times, bot that u
