PRESCOTT NOT OUTCLASSED

Prescott High School basket ball team can take a defeat as ragcefully as any bunch, but they do detest a misrepresentation of the facts as 2 writer evidently from Oklona, tries to do.
 Oklona team came over two weeks ago and played our team and as it was defeated us. There was not a word from our fellows although we knew the reason. The truth of the matter was, our center was called out of bed and insisted on to play the game. He was not seriously i'll, of course, but was not feeling we'll Any one who knows the game will admit that he played the most important position on the team
 The writer failed to quote the cor rect score, which was 19 to 29, in- stead of IA and 29. And as to the class, anyone who saw that game would laugh at a person who would r1ake such an assertion. They also failed to tell you that we insisted on another game and they did not in- vite us over to their court. All this was unnecessary, and would not have occurred had the writer told the facts in the case. From now on, come clean Mr UWhoa-uoY xyO11-ora v
