Ss to 5 In First Basketball
Game Of Season.

Shooting baskets at will, Clovis
High School basketball team piled up
score Of 55 to 8 in their first prac-
tice game Of. the year against Floyd
High School in the local gymnasium
Wednesday evening.
Wendell Foreman, member Of last
seasons aIl-victorious team, stood out
above his team mates with eleven
field goals and one free goal to his
credit, scoring 2S points. William
Jones, midget guard, is largely re-
sponsible for the small score, for his
spectacular defense kept the ball
away from Floyd's goal most of the
time. Anderson, in addition to play
ing a good game at guard threw four
field goals.
Kent Hunt, scoring seven field goals
and two free goals also showed up
well, and sledge counted four field
goals before he was forced from the
game with a bad knee.
The visitors scored only one field
goal in the first half, and one field
goal and one free goal in the second,
for total Of five points.
While at times the playing was
good, the locals still have a lot Of
hard work ahead Of them. However
prospects are good for another win
ming team.
Two games each have been schedu.
led with Santa Rosa, Portales and
Roswell, and one game with Albu
querque.

The state supreme court ruling to-
day was in the habeas corpus pro-

men as members Of a marauding
band Of Mexicans who killed a num-
ber Of our citizens without any con-

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, July 22.-Persistent selling was felt by cotton today, the starting on the opening and reaching it's greatest force on the close which was at the lowest of the day, at losses of 126 to 40 points. This range was on the new crop months, July not being active in this market. October fell off to 32.62 which was it's closing price.
 There were several reactions from the decline but none of them were sustained. Middling spots were un- changed at 40 cents but the highest grades were lifted 25 points. This revision was in the face of state ments by spot men that new crop cot ton was being offered them in moder- ate volume for delivery at interior points by August 10, and in large volume for delivery by the end of September.
