BOYS WIN AND GIRLS
LOSE IN BASKE TBALL

BEFORE the largest crowd that has
ever assembled in the high school
gymnasium, Fort Sumner broke even
with Clovis in a double header bask- |
etball contest. The local high school
girls had recently defeated Fort Sum-
ner girls by two points at Fort Sum
ner, but were unable to defeat them
ON their own court, going down be-
fore their terrific shooting by the
score Of l6 to 3.
The boys game on the other hand
proved a delicacy, after seeing the
local girls lose. Without Foreman in
the game Clovis again thrilled the
vast audience with bursts Of college
speed. Grow was covered throughout
the game, as occurred in the Military
game. The defence Of the Clovis
guards held Fort Sumner without a
field goal during the first half, and
the score at that stage of the game
read IA to 8. The second period was
lust as fast, but true to Clovis style,
the game is won in the first half and
then the boys hold their opponents,
without any especial effort at con-
tinuing the pouring process. The
score at the end Of the period was 80
to i2. Harry Crawford, one time
local grade school boy, played for
Fort Sumner. Harry, however, was
n little rough and was excused from
duty near the ned Of the game. Car
mel Eastman also ran up four person
ais at the end Of the game, and would
have taken a like recess had the CUR
not sounded Personals, however
were called on all the players In al
effort to reduce the rough style O.
nlay. Fred Dennis acted as referee
Fort Sumner is ambitious to NEE
, Clovis on n neutral floor, which meet
: with local approval, as our boys fee
;. they would have no difficulty wit
Fort Sumner any place but at For
Sumner, where no out-of-bound
y, seems to exist. It may be likely tina
the teams will battle off the tie q

The meeting of the state college
was very profitable and interesting,
sixteen out Of the eighteen counties
employing county agents being rep
resented. The program was practical
and timely. The citizens of Cruces
and attaches of the college did every
thing possible to make the stay of the
visitors pleasant and succeeded adj
mirably. One of the entertainment
features was an automobile trip thru
the Mesilla valley, which proved to bt
very interesting and instructive.
! The crop outlook in Curry count!

cording to Mr.. Pattison. Heav.
SHOWS and copious rains which hav'
fallen during the winter have put tn
ground in splendid shape for sprinl
plowing and have also stimulated tn
growth of wheat, of which the larges

was planted last fall.

bushels and the value of this and tn
row crops was in the neighborhoo

MANY CLOVIS CITIZENS
RIDE IN MRPLANE

Many Clovis folks had their first
thrill Of a ride in an airplane last
Saturday and Sunday. One of the
Panhandle Aerial and transportation
Company's Curtis planes was here
and was busy all Saturday afternoon
and Sunday taking Clovis folks for
trips in the air.
The plane landed on the field just
east of the city limits and the pas
sengers we're taken for about ten
minute flights over the city. The
plane arrived in Clovis about eleven
o'clock Saturday and the pilot was
accompanied by S. NJ. Ramsey, man
aging editor of the Amarillo Daily
News. W. X. Whipple, manager Of
the Panhandle Aerial and sTranspor-
tation Company, came down on the
train expecting to make arrange
ments for the landing field, but the
plane beat the Santa Fe passenger
train here and had already landed
when Mr.. Whipple reached town.
The plane was about an hour and
twenty minutes making the trip
from Amarillo to Clovis.
Clovis people were enthusiastic
about the air rides and Mr.. Whipple
has promised to bring plane here
at later date to accomodate those
who were unable to go up last Satur-
day and Sunday. The pilot handling
the plane here Saturday and Sunday
was a careful flyer and the passen-
gers felt apparently at ease as he
guided the plane over the city.
That the ladies are as much inter
ested in the flying game as the men
was demonstrated from the fact that
possibly as many women as men went
up in the ship.
The Panhandle Aerial and Trans
portation Company was organized in
Amarillo few months ago and has
behind il some Of the leading money
ed men Of the Panhandle. The COM
pany now owns several ships and will
soon get more. 1t is the plan to soon
make daily passenger flights between
Amarillo and Fort Worth and Mr.
Whipple says that this is going tC
) meet with much favor and patronag
An aerial mail line will also be estab
t lished between these two points tha
: will meet with favor on account o.
n the saving in time it will take to ge
g important mail from Amarilla to Fl
It Worth. Mr.. Whipple says it is par
j. Of the program of the company at
e later date to establish line fror
FL Paso to Fort Worth by way o
}; Amarillo and this line will com
IS through Clovis. When these throug
m lines are established planes that carr
several passengers will be employed
When Mr.. Whipple makes his Sc,
ond trip to Clovis he promises to Civ
the News advance information abol
at the visit.
