LOCAL GIRLS TAKE
GAME FROM BULL
Fast Game and Close Plays Make Con-
test Best Played on Home Floor
This Season.

One of the most interesting and
closest basketball games that have
been played by the girls team in
many years, was played in the high
school gymnasium last Friday night
between the girls of the Twin Falls
and Bull high schools.
I'm previous years the Twin Falls
girls have always won by large scores
and it was expected that the game
last Friday would be repetition of past
encounters, but much to the surprise
of all, the Bull girls were able to
keep the score within reasonable linn
its. Only two of the team which held
the championship of Idaho remain in
school, Captain Jennie Walker and
Corinne Taber both forwards, while
the rest of the team were new play
ers but they showed the results of the
little practice they have been able to
get The girls could not find the bas-
kets during the first half, and only
three field goals were made the half
ending with the score II to in favor
of the home team
The second nalf brought many sur
prises, and the Bull girls began to
slowly creep up to the score of Twin
Falls. Edith Mason, playing forward
for Bull, scored fourteen points, max
ing six field goals, and soon the score
was almost even, and considering the
fact that Twin Falls had scored only
five points in the second half, it look
ed very possible that Bull might win
However, every one had forgotten the
old fighting spirit that had made the
Twin Falls girls champions of Idaho
for three years, until Jennie Walker
realizing the danger of defeat,proceed
ed to get fighting mad" and will
shots that would have done credit t
any Varsity" man, placed the gam'
in safety. With but a few minutes t
play Twin Falls scored nine points
and won the game by a score Of q
to 16.

The Twin Falls high school boys
basketball team won their second vic
tory this season when they defeated
Bull II. S. the same evening by a
score of 81 to 16.
The boys had been practicing hard
all week, and encouraged by their vic
tory of the previous week, came out
to win The result could be easily
seen before the game started, for it
was evident to all that the boys from
the west end were new to the game
and showed lack of practise. In their
preliminary practice the local boys
showed that they knew where the bas-
ket was hung, and throughout the
game had little difficulty in locating
it. Both teams used team work to
good advantage, but the Twin Falls
guard showed they had taste to inter
cept many of the Bull plays.
Every man of the local team played
an excellent game, and was on the jot
all the time. Captain Rowberry, al
guard, did excellent service, and the
low score of the opponents is due
chiefly to the way that Rowberry anC
Bob MacCracken defended their bas
ket Time after time, one of the pail
would break up dangerous plays ant
although the ball was in the territor,
of the home team much of the time
the Bull men were only able to throw
four baskets from the field. Bristol
by virtue of his six and a half feet,
had things his own way at ce2teI
besides being able to throw five bas
kets.
Lesser and Ostrander as forwards
make a reliable pair, and work wei
, together Ostrander is EXCEPTIONAL
good at long shots from the fielc
while Lesser showed that he could al
ways score from beneath the baske
The game was somewhat rough, an
: "Osty" was often forced to fall o
the ball" The Bull boys played
good game, but did not seem to b
familiar with the finer points.

Building On Upgrade,
In Architects Report

Prohibition, instead of leaving
large number of unsightly
empty buildings, has had tend
ency to make Tacoma a more at
tractive city, in the opinion of
George Cove, of Heath 6 Cove,
architects.
Rather than the unsightly
rows of empty store buildings
prophesied by so many enemies
of prohibition, the city boasts
many new fronts and improved
stores" Mr.. Cove said today in
commenting on the remodeling
work which has been done by his
firm.
MANY of the sites formerly oc-
cupied by saloons have been re-
modelled into modern restaurants.
Confectionery stores have in
creased their business, and as a
result have added extensive i'm
provements which tend to make
the city more delightful to the
tourists.
'Luxuries, such as jewelry, has
had decided impetus since the
ban was placed on liquor. We
have done the work on two new
jewelry stores and there are
three more such jobs that |
know Of.
Construction of an added
floor on the Warburton building
on Broadway has been started,
and'we are figuring on a number
of business buildings which we
will be able to announce shortly.
The east is witnessing a mar
velous period of building, and
this movement is gradually shift
ing westward. l can truthfully
say that there is a certainty of a
building epidemic in Tacoma
within the immediate future"

fine children in small city in
California, according to Officer
Geary, and they are ignorant Of
the manner in which he has made
a livelihood during the past
years. They believed that he
was dealing in grain stocks.

charge of having bilked p. j.

money.
Young told Geary that he had
obtained $500 in Portland on a
similar scheme. $1,000 in San
Francisco, $3.50 in Oakland, and
5 900 in Minneapolis.
The prisoner formerly lived in
a small town of Utah, where he

In his confession to Detective
Geary. the prisoner declared that
he had always intended to "go

tried to live an honest life, he
lost his funds in stock deal.

State Won't
Give haffer
Punishme nt

Attorney Pendleton failed to
appear to argue a motion for a
new trial before Judge Card to-
day in the Joab-Haffer libel case.
Deputy Prosecutor Selden said
the state would be willing 10
recommend the court give Haffer
q light sentence and then sus-
pend sentence.
"A precedent has been set
showing possible future offend
ers that they cannot libel dead
men. That is all we want. We
do. not wish to prosecute Haffer
and are willing that he be given
a small sentence"
Haffer is strong for a continu-
ance of the fight and has rallied
Tacoma socialists together to
raise funds to take the case to
the supreme court if necessary.
