SENSATIONAL GAME EXPECTEn
Lively Bunch From Nezperce VIII
Meet the Local High School Tteam

Next Saturday night at o'clock, in
the high-school gymnasium, Moscow
will meet Nezperce in what will be the
feature game of the season.
Last year was the first year that
these two teams ever met on basket
ball court. At Nezperce, Moscow was
defeated but when Nezperce came to
Moscow the tables were turned by
score of q to 49, The two-point
margin was the result of a sensation
al shot from the center of the gym
nasium by CHUCK" Witcher, now one
of the University squad.
Three weeks ago, Moscow again lost
to Nezperce by score of 20 to s. The
question which is driving Moscow
fans" nigh crazy is Can Moscow
again turn the tables, per last year?"
The lineup which will face Nezperce
is perhaps the best that ever repre-
sented Moscow. Local fans have yet
t0 see d pair OF guards who are equal
to Captain Cornelison and Fay Hart
man. These two have every qualifica-
ton necessary for ideal guards and
are undoubtedly the equal of any high
school basketball players in the Inland
Empire "Squintee'' Hunter and
Campbell form pair of forwards of
which any team might we'll be proud.
Hunter plays better than his big
brother, Buck" last years captain,
and Campbell is a sturdy, consistent
performer. At center, much is eX-
pected of Carder and if he plays the
game he has shown the last month,
there will be nothing to fear from op-
posing centers.
Against this bunch. Nezperce will
send big, we'll seasoned team of such
well-known stars as Johnson, the Fox
brothers and Fertig. Johnson is a big,
speedy fellow who can shoot baskets
with uncanny accuracy. Fertig and
the Fox brothers, while possibly not of
J Johnsons basket shooting ability, are
much of the same type.
All said and done, the game Saturday
night will be the greatest basketball
of the year

MUSICIANS PLEASE
IN LOCAL CONCERT
Miss Palusen and Mr.. Des VOignes,
Both Formerly Residents of Moscow,
Heard in Varied Programs at the
High School

The musicale by Miss Paulsen and
Mr.. Des Voignes at the high school
auditorium last evening was deserving
of a much larger audience than that
which attended.
The opening number was an aria ta-
ken from the second act of the opera
La Boheme. The words are of a
coquettish character, but the music
is the true Puccini, whose style is SO
seldom piquant. This number was
sung in the original Italian and was
greatly applauded.
The D'Albert Suite was played by
Mr. Des Voignes in a finished manner.
The three movements were each
thoughtfully interpreted and carefully
executed. Solvejg's Song, Miss Paul
sens second number, is one of the
gems of Norwegian music and the
performers clear soprano was es-
Ipecially adapted to this number.
The Rondo in G Major by Beethoven
proved a popular number, Mr.. Des
Voignes's displaying splendid techni-
que, in which both power and clever
relaxation were present, qualities
which are gained only after years of
the most careful study with exacting
masters.
Miss Paulsen sang the Aria from
Carmen in French. Her enunciation
was clear and showed careful study
and although the Interpretation was
difficult she held her audience
throughout.
Mr.. Des Voignes played group OF
his own compositions. His Lullaby,
as sung by Miss Paulsen, will long be
remembered by those who heard it.
His themes are original, full Of
warmth and feeling, and are carefully
worked out
The last group which ended with
Love is the Wind with its brilliant,
spirited style, was fitting climax to
the splendid program.
Mr.. Pittenger, unfortunately, was
not permitted to appear on the pro-
gram, rehearsal of the university
orchestra having been called for last
night.
