.B0WBELLS: MAKES
GOOD IMPRESSION

FolloWing are some of the let
"a ters received from different officials
I and superintendents. concerning the
Basketball Tournament which was
held in Bowbells for the first time
this year, and which Supt. Polk
thought the readers Of The Tribune
would be interested inasmuch as
/ they contributed so much to the
success of the event by their loyal
patronage and, hospitality.
Mr.. Polk informs us that so far
as he is able to learn this is the
first basketball tournament to be
held In the state which has ever
paid profit to the High School
Athletic League, and he is borne
out in this contention by the tone
of the letter of the secretary of the
league, Mr.. Nelson Sauvaln.
