the keota girls We're dangerous
However, the visitors have improved
greatly since the Kaota game and
showed that they have the material
to play winning ball.
The score at the end OF the game
was 32 to 8 in favor of the home
team. This is the largest score that
has been made against our girls this
season
The Buckingham girls gave tie
keota girls hard and close game
at Keota the week before, so It would
seem that the Buckingham team is
getting in some good pracice, and
that the same evening the game was
played, here they kept the Grover
girls on the jump TO win at Grover.
The boys game, however, was the
one around which the interest cen
tered; not because we love the girls
less, bless their dear hearts. no: but
because their victory was expected
from the start, while the Keota BOYS
had not lost game this season and
came full of confidence of their abil-
lty to hold their own against a team
that had suffered defeat in every
game so far this season Also ii Ke-
ota could win here, ii made them all
but certain OF the championship OF
the circuit and our boys absolutely
out of chance for such honors.
The visitors we're handicapped By
the failure OF their center, Harley
Baker, to arrive He started, but for
some reason failed to get through. In
his absence, Keota had to shift their

Bakers work as referee was all
that could be expected. He was ac-
tive in following both the ball and
the players and his decisions were
well received all around.
Our keota friends feel that they
have the better team still. and that
the absence of Baker and the strange
fioor more than make up the discrep-
ancy in the score They are willing
to back their team against ours on
neutral floor. They have fine
team. We do not blame them for
their faith in their ability to win.
We honor them for ii. The playing
OF their boys justify it. We would
feel the same in their place, and we
do; only we happen to be backing

In fact We hope to see the metal
of the two teams tested upon a neu-

we can win from Grover here, as we
hope to do; and If Grover and Keota
break even on their two games yet to
be played, as we think we have good
reason to expect; the three teams
will tie for first place and the cham
pionship.
Grover stands first now, but has
played the fewest games. They have
defeated Raymer and Buckingham.

they have one more game at home
