Another Scalp Is Added to the Belt
Of the Oakley Athletic Association

The 0. A. A. defeated the Burley
Athletic Association Wednesday
night by the score OF 35 to 20. This
statement by itself does not do full
justice to the Oakley boys. In spite
OF the fact that they were all sore
and stiff in their joints from recent
strenuous efforts on the floor, it is
safe to say that they could have
made the score 100 to in Oakley's
favor il the spirit OF rivalry had
been strong.
Oakley made Is points in q
first five minutes. At the end of the
first half, the score stood 29 to g.
Poulton and Harper ran up the
high points for Oakley. Gardner,
Canine, and Paul made the only
scores for Burley.
