CLOVIS HIGH DEFEATS
| MILITARY INSTITUTE

9 In one Of the greatest Thrills Of the
senson Clovis High School defeated
the strong New Mexico Military lnsti-
tute In the high school gymnasium
last Saturday night before one Of the
largest crowds Of the season by .he
close score of % to 90.
The basket ball game started
promptly at I 30 with Clovis dropping
In the first point, free throw by
Grow. Clovis followed this with a
field basket. From then on the lnsti-
tute never got within two points Of
the leaders. At the end Of the first
half the score stood II to IL with
their coach rcfereeing, and Mr.. Parker
umpirlng.
The star for the Institute was
Wharton who played left forward
making 20 Of the % points for his
team lrhe stars for Clovis included
the entire team. Grow and Foreman
netting as forwards. Hobby as center !;
and Eastman and Montgomery ms
guards II was the plucklest game
Clovis ever put mp, for they were re-
gently defeated by the same team by
a score no ono cares to mention. Grow
made two field baskets aud nine free
throws out Of seventeen chances,
Foreman made three field baskets, and
Montgomery made one.
Coach Parker deserves much credit
for what he has accomplished with n
team who knew but little about the
game when the season opened. East
ham. Hobby and Foreman did not
have look In last year with our all
state team Grow. however, is the
spirit that steadles the team and gives
1t the confidence II needs to win. The
boys look forward to additional vic
tories when Roswell and Albuquerque
come. There Is some talk also Of n
tournament being staged here this
year.

Most Common of Bodily Ills.

By far the most common of bodily
ills is constipation. The usual cause
is the Indifference of many people to
Natures call. The inclination is not
needed, or it is put off until a more
convenient time When this is done
repeatedly, constipation is almost
sure to follow. 1t is Of the utmost
Importance that everyone establish
a certain time for the bowels to
move each day and let nothing inter-
fere with it. When that is done and
proper food ami exercise are taken
and an abundance Of drinking water,
the bowels are not likely to give
much trouble. When laxative is
required take Chamberlain's Tablets.
They are mild and gentle, easy to
take and agreeable in effect.-Adv.
