 Z FLORENCE TEAMS

( lLUliLIEUL ILhlvIu
 FLORENCE, Dec. 4-The Tempe high school girls and boys basketball teams played two games here last night at the expense of the local teams. The girls game was taken by the fast visit ing team with a score of 20 to 14 The Tempe girls are little, but their speed and team work simply rushed the home team off it's feet and before they could get together the first half was over and Tempe had a seven point | lead. The Florence team attempted tV stage a come back in the second haakf and succeeded in passing the hoor' more times in this period than Tempe, but the lead obtained by the visitors l in the first period was too great to i overcome.
 The boys game was featured by the l basket shooting of a Tempe lightweight l by tho name of Mullen, and by the
 ability of the referee to call fouls. The | forward in question ran up eight bas- 1 kets to his credit, while the referes succeeded in seeing 33 fouls. Tempe 1 has a light fast team and though the l team work of both schools was about equal the home team could not seem 1 to find the basket and it was land slide for Tempe. The first half ended
 to 21, but in the second half the
 score took on a different complexion
 as the play stiffened and 10 to ls score in this period left Tempe on Inc heavy end of a 23-to-4o score.
 1 The visitors were entertained by the local teams in the school cafeteria af-
 ter the game and had something more than victory to be thankful for when l they left

 csently, the chamber of commerce Is : trying to get the affected towns to : rally to the support of a movement to ' remove the obstructing conditions ana ! to send a representative to meet with the committee in charge of construc- ; ton.
