Aledo Wins Opener.
Aledo high school basketball team
won the first game of the season here
Thursday afternoon by the defeat Of
the St. Ambrose Juniors Of Daven-
port by a score Of IS to Is. Both
teams played clean basketball and
showed themselves in advanced form
for this early in the season. Although
Aledo came out Of the game with the
long end Of the score. their attack was
uncertain and the green and white
men did not use any systematic style
OF offense The men were uncertain
of their mates and did not appear to
have any regular form OF play. In the
offensive play St. Ambrose was SUI
perior to -Aledo. but was wild on
shots. The visitors easily went
through the Aledo defensive line and
carried the bail to the basket only TO
lose it by a poor shot On defensive
work the visitors met the local per-
formers in an even draw. Aledo's toss
ers were more certain Of their shots
than St Ambrose and in this depart
ment of the game the locals gained
their big lead which carried them
through for victory. Harbor was
the chief scoring machine of the home
team and landed IL shots during the
game. Bowers was next high man
with three baskets. A,edo did not
play at top speed in the game and
came through with victory, but its
offense was ragged and would prove
Intellectual against a strong defensive
team. St. Ambrose did not prove to
have an exceptionally good defense or
the locals would have been defeated.
