School Notes
Rocky Ford will not have another
chance for the state debate this year. 1t
was understood that Lamar and Rocky
Ford had an equal chance but word was
received here that since we lost to Lamar
on the debate held here on the question,
Resolved that the President of the
United States should be elected for a
term of six years and not be eligible for
reelection" we had lost our ohanbe for
represent this valley instead OF Rocky
Ford.
Baseball practice started Tuesday and
the outlook for this years championship
is the best possible. II more boys would
come out the chances for Winning team
would be much more certain than If
there were only few. for two or three
teams are necessary to give the boys
practice.
Training for the trask and field will be
started soon for the chances of winning
are greater when there is plenty OF time
for the team to get into good condition.
