accept a call to become the pastor of
the Baptis, church In Kersey. Colo.
He came to La Junta In 1913. Mr..

boys basketball team OF 1914 which
played a season of eight games with
out suffering defeat He also
coached the debate teams OF the
same year which won two decisions
from Rocky Ford for the first time
In history He trained the track
team OF the same year. and OF 1915.
both of which defeated all other
teams of the league by large mar

coached both basketball and debate
teams, without SO much success per-
haps but doing the best possible with
the material at his command He
was always popular with those with
whom he worked. and those quail
