-FOUR TINE WINNERS
La Junta Girls Basket Hall Team
Defeat Trinidad and Win Cham
pionship of 1917

The La Junta Girls Basket Ball
team defeated the Trinidad girls
team on the latter's floor last Satur-
day night by score OF Al to l3.
This victory gave the La Junta team
the championship of the S. C.-N. n.
NJ. League for the 1917 basket ball
season and marked the close of the
fourth consecutive season that La
Junta Girls team has gone through
without suffering defeat.
The score of the game on last Sat
urday evening is not fair index to
the nature of the game that was
played. The Trinidad team was clear
ly off form in shooting ability, which
thing contributed largely to the one
sided nature OF the score Out of the
nineteen attempts at free throw by
the Trinidad team, only three were
successful. The proportion of shots
at the basket for field goals was In
about the same proportion.
In spite OF the fact. however. that
the Trinidad girls We're not up to
their usual standard in playing
ability. there was never any chance
for them to win against team play
ing such a game as the La Junta
girls displayed on last Saturday. It
was case of every team member
playing In perfect harmony with all
her team mates and the combined
effort was irresistible. Although
Trinidad was losing every minute
from the time the game was started
time after time the crowd broke into
cheers at some particularly fast and
accurate piece OF team work on the
part of the La Junta team. She was
clearly out-matched and the best
team won.
Throughout the game the best pos
sible spirit prevailed and not sin
gle accident occurred to mar the
pleasure OF the situation. Trinidad
took her defeat In splendid man
ner and proved herself a true sport
in every sense OF the word. The line
up was as follows:
