DEBORAH TEAMS BREAK EVEN.
Boys and Girls III. S. Basket Ball
Teams Win and Lose With West
Union.

The DEBORAH high school basket
ball teams broke eaven with West
Union in two games last Friday
night, the local boys team defeating
West Union on the home floor by the
score of % to 10, and the local girls
losing to West Union at West I'm
ion by the score of A to 5.
The game at West Union was a
rather slow affair, played on a slip
perry floor which made fast playing
an impossibility. Neither team was
able to score consistently. Tracy and
Cutting played a close guarding
game for DEBORAH, but DEBORAH for
wards lost the game largely thru
their inability to throw free throws.
The boys game at DEBORAH was
real fight from start to finish and at
no time were the two teams separ-
ated by more than points. DEBORAH
took the lead and at the end of about
a minute of playing when Alyger
dropped the ball thru the ring from
the free throw line. They maintained
this lead thruout the first half, the
score being. IL to 9 in favor of De-
corah at the end of the half. West
Union gained a point lead at the
beginning of the second half, but
this was soon overcome and DEBORAH
held the lead until the end of the
game. The DEBORAH team showed
good team work and defense but
were weak on basket shooting. Giles
ne played the best game for De-
corah, chalking up A markers from
the field on difficult shots. Glascock
was by far the best man on the West
Union team.
The local high school teams will
meet Cresco in a double header on
the local floor on Friday of this
week. This is the last game sched-
uled with out of town teams until
March rs when Waukon appears
here.
