LOCKER KEYS
Locker keys are small pieces oil
steel especially designed to get lost
They have a peculiar ability to &c
through objects. If you put one In
your pocket. it's gone the next time
you need 1t. If you leave it In your
locker. five minutes later 1t is inside
your locker and your locker is locked.
All locker keys are supposed to be
different. but some must be twins. II
you lose your locker key, your locker
is empty the next day. Perhaps your
books and papers have gone out to
look for the missing key.

This last weekend both of the bas-
ketball teams played games away
from home.
Friday afternoon the boys team
left on No. 6 for Battle Mountain to
play the Lander county boys a return
game. The student body and faculty
accompanied the team to the station
and the memory of the send-off
stayed with the boys until the game
that evening and made them more de-
termined than aver to bring home the
bacon.
The team was met at the station by
the Battle Mountain boys and taken
to dinner.
At Sis the game was called by Mr..
Thatcher, the referee, and after the
first five minutes OF play there was
no doubt of the outcome. The Hum
boldt county boys, although handi-
capped by the small floor which was
as slick as a frozen mill pond. worked
signal after signal and kept the %
mounting upward. Every boy on the
team played as a cog in a team ma
chine, each willing to give him team
mate every advantage possible.
Captain Legarza scored 20 points
for Winnemucca, while Harms, Rose,
organ and Brown helped pile up the
total.
Roberts played his usual sterling
game as sticking guard and cut of
play after play under his own goal.
Battle Mountain played a much i'm
proved game owe their last one here
and deserve much credit for their
showing against the high school boys.
After the game a dance was given
by the Battle Mountain team and
friends for the Winnemucca boys.
Saturday morning the boys re-
turned home. voting Battle Mountain

On arriving at Lovelock the team
was met by a delegation of the Love-
lock students and taken to their
homes where they were royalty
tertained during their stay.
At $50 a dinner was served for the
teams and coaches at the high school
building, which proved to our girls
hat if their team vas as strong as
their domestic science department
5Sinnemucca would have to play
some to beat them.
AT nine o'clock. after a preliminary
game between two teams of high
school boys. the girls game started
and Lovelock got a rude surprise.
Playing a new set of signals and
plays, Winnemucca took the lead in
the first minute of play and increased
it steadily until the end of the first
half. when the score stood IA to 3 in
favor of Winnemucca.
Lovelock came back strong in the
second half and with the roofing sec
ton behind them calling for the dealt
or destruction of each member of tn
.Winnenucca team. they played q

rougher than during the first hat
