BALL TEAMS NOW CONTESTING
IN MOSCOW

The state basket ball championship
fight is now in progress and Moscow
has a bright chance of capturing the
honors. Twelve teams are here to set
tie the question of which is the best
team in Idaho and the final judgment
will be rendered tomorrow evening.
The games are being played this after
noon, to decide the preliminary con-
test and Moscow high school had the
best showing when The Star-Mirror
went to press.
The event is the greatest of its kind
ever held in north Idaho On another
occasion basket ball tournament for
northern Idaho was held here but this
tournament includes the high schools
of the entire state. There are nine
schools from north Idaho and three
from the southern part of the state
here now The visitors began arriving.
Tuesday night and almost every train
has brought more of them. With those
who accompanied the teams there are
more than 100 basket ball men in town
today.
The people of Moscow gave the Wis
itors a rousing welcome. The high
school band and several hundred high
| school and grade school students
marched in a parade through town be-
tween II and l O'Clock ,arousing en-
thusiasm for the big event. The pre-
liminaries this afternoon at the uni
versity gymnasium are being largely
attended and the games are well worth
the price of admission and the walk
from town.
Post Falls and Bonners Ferry were
the first teams on the floor. Bonners
Ferry was clearly outclassed and lost
the game by a score of 81 to in fa-
vor of Post Falls. Brown and Lind
berg were the stars for Post Falls and
Warren starred for Bonners Ferry.
Moscow and Wardner-Kellogg were
the next contestants, Moscow winning,
80 to Is. Thompson and FoX,were the
stars for Moscow, Thompson getting
five and Fox three baskets Waltman
was Wardner-Kellogg's star player. 1t
was a fast game throughout. Moscow
showed superiority in passing and won
easily.
Looks Like Boise and Moscow
Boise proved an easy winner over
Lewiston in the preliminaries. Boise
won by a score of 35 to 1S. Reynolds
and Wyman were the stars for Boise,
the former throwing five and the lat
ter six baskets. KERN and WhitcOmb
we're the stars for Lewiston. The game
was the third played in the prelimin-
aries and decidedly the fastest game
played up to the time The Star-MirroE
went to press.
On the dope this gives Moscow
he best of it, for it looks now ike
Moscow and Boise will contest in the
inals. Moscow has beaten Lewiston
vice by scores of SO to "a and SO to 22.
