BASKETBALL MEET
At SIOUX FALLS
LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL TEAM AND
MANY MADISON PEOPLE OFF
TO CONTEST.

Coach V. A. Lowry and his trained
and victorious bunch of basketball
tossers were all in fine fetle today
as they departed for Sioux Falls to
participate in the state high school
tournament that has as contestants
not only Madison but also Sioux Falls
Iroquois, Aberdeen, Mitchell, Gay
vile, Gregory and Rapid City.
Among those departing by train
this morning for the tournament city
were Wilma Crabbs, Rhea Welch,
Evelyn Hoidal, Mrs. +. E. Beckner,
Mrs. F. l.. Burnett, Mrs. John Grow,
Helen Robertson, Mrs H. B. Moen of
Oldham, Mrs. E. E. Griffen and
daughter, Mrs. Charles Raach, j. r.
Donnelly, Joe McGrath, Archie Hollis
ter and o. Parker All who will at
tend the games at the coliseum to-
night, however, made the trip on the
morning passenger train. A large
contingent drove overland by auto
and they were assured an opportunity
to make speedy drive, inasmuch as
the roads from here to Sioux Falls
never were in finer shape for travel
ing this time of the year. Those
noted making preparations for the
run to Sioux Falls were Guy Hanson
and wife, Mac McCreedy and Harry
Fox, Eldro Sheldon and Leslie Grow,
M. II. Colgrove and Leslie Burnette.
These are only a few of those taking
advantage Of the fine day To witness
the games that are To settle state
championship rights for this season.
Twice this year the Madison high
school boys have met and defeated
Sioux Falls in basketball contests. In
all of their schedule this year the To-
calls have made an easy so per cent
winning record nor are they the least
doubtful about their ability to de-
feat their old adversary, Sioux Falls
in the coming tournament. AS for
the other teams represented Madison
fears none of them. The fact is
Lowry's quintet are formed able fell
lows and they go into the tournament
lists to win.
The line up of the locals will be
about as follows; Welch and McLead,
forwards; Johnson, center; Crow and
Swenson, guards. The substitutes are
E. Welch, Hoidal and Meyers.
The crucial test is on tonight and
Madison is sending what is reputed to
be the fastest team in South Dakota.
Among the basketball fans here ex-
citement is at a high pitch of hope
full expectation relative to the prob
ability of championship honors COM
ing to the Madison high school team.
The best part of this years athle-
tics in the high school is the fact that
the members of the football squad
and the basketball quintet have kept
their credits coming in connection
with their required studies. No.
Stacking; no loss of interest; no un-
due fatigue but the direct opposite,
ambition, close application and de-
sire tor succeed has characterized each
players record SO far as books and re-
quirements are concerned.
The citizens, the faculty and the
students at large in the high school
and are proud of the basketball boys
who have made an enviable record on
a score of floors the past season.
