MOSCOW HIGH
CAPTURED THE
STATE PENNANT
LOCAL BASKET BALL TEAM
FIGHTS WAY TO VICTORY
THROUGH TOURNAMENT
HOME TEAM UNDEFEATED.
HAS WON EVERY GAME PLAYED
IN THE STATE DURING
SEASON JUST CLOSED

Moscow high school is basket bal
champion of the state of Idaho. The
penant was won fairly but not with
out hard fighting in the last game
of the tournament last night. Nez
Perce, the plucky team that had been
regarded with Indifference, proved
the second best team in the state and
gave the home team a hard run for
the penant. In fact Moscow people
were scared green during the first
half of the final game, when Nez
Perce set terrific pace, beginning
by throwing a basket and a foul in
the first minute of the game and
had lead of to in the first eight
minutes.
But the plucky team from Camas
Prairie could not keep up the terrible
pace it had set and Moscow, follow
ing her general rule, played stronger
as the game progressed. 1t is signifi-
cant that Moscow has so frequently
done her best playing in the second
half. That occurred twice yesterday.
In the afternoon game with Boise
the teams seemed evenly matched in
the first half, which closed with the
score 13 to 10 in Moscow's< favor, but
the home team made a squirt in the
second half and scored 27 points while
Boise only got two. Last night the
first half with Nezperce closed with
the score II to 10 in Moscow's favor.
In the second half Moscow played
like a whirlwind, using good head
work and splendid team play. After
the first minute Of the second half
the result was never in doubt, the
only question being how big the score
would be. 1t ended with % for Mos
COW and 6for her plucky antagonist.
Moscow had played four games dur
ng the tournament, more than any
,ther team played. The home team
played Thursday afternoon, defeat |,
ng Wardner-Kellogg by score of
% to Is. Thursday night Moscow de-
eated Post Falls 35 to TO- Friday
lfternoon she defeated Boise 40 to IL |
md last night had the hardest game
# the tournament with Nezperce,
Winning by 26 to 16. In other words
doscow made 13O points during the
ournament and the four teams that
'layed against her were enabled 20
make but 81 points.
Moscow is the undisputed champion
asket ball team Of the state and she
as won the honor fairly, by hard
laying and consistent team work.
III honor to the home team, her
plendid members and her excellent
oach.
