ELKO TEAMS WIN
EXCITING GAMES
Girls Game One -Sided-BoyS'
Game the Fastest Ever
Seen in EIko

The Elko high school basketball
teams covered themselves with glory
last night in the games with Ely and
Winnemucca. The girls game between
Elko and Ely was a one-sided affair,
and from the first it was only a ques.
ton of how badly Ely would be beat
en-. The boys game between Elko and
Winnemucca was close enough to be
interesting, but there was no question
as to the outcome after the first few
minutes of playing. The Elko lads
were much faster than their oppon.
ents, did better passing, and better
goal throwing. A good many fouls
were called on Elko and these were
generally converted into scores by the
visitors. Had IL not been counts made
from the foul line. the Winnemucca
end OF the score would have been
much shorter
When the local team returned from
their recent trip TO the western part
of the state they were not satisfied
with the results of the games at
Winnemucca and Yerington, They
conceded superior playing of the Reno
aggregation, and acknowledged them
selves fairly beaten at that place, but
at Winnemucca and Yerington they
claim that they should have been on
the long end OF the score. Their work
Ia iub tb,,
justice in their claim so far as Winnie
mucca Is concerned. They outplayed
their opponents at every stage of the
game
In the game with Ely the ball was
kept on Elko ground practically all the
time. The team work OF the Elko
girls was simply splendid, and the
Ely girls were up in the air" from
whistle. There ia not a doubt that
Elko's team this year is the best we
have ever had, and there is good
reason to hope that we will this year
win state championship honors.
At the end of the first half the
score stood 15 to 2 in Elko's favor.

In the boys game Winncmucca
made the first score on a foul. They
soon followed this with a basket and
the score was three to nothing. Then
the Elko boys set themselves for nc.
tion and in a few minutes they took
the lead which they held until the
end of the game. The visitors did
some splendid playing and they never
for an instant lost their pep" but
they were unable to break up the su-
perior team work of the local lads.
