ALBION

A number of people are on the
sick list here in town
! The Colfax high school basket ball
team invaded our territory with a
number of Colfax rooters last Friday
evening. They seemed to think that
they had the game long before it was
/ played and when the whistle blew
and the large Colfax fellows We're
OF the floor alonside the boys repre-
/ senting the Red and Crimson. it
/ looked as if we would have no show.
/ But when the game started we could
/ see that though small, our fellows
had the pep and if they could but
keep going they would give ColfaX a
| hard rub. The end of the first half
was sounded and the score stood
/ to ; III favor of the visitors. Some
thing must have been injected into
our boys between halves as they
came on the floor at the beginning
OF the second half and began shoot
/ ing baskets to the surprise OF the
| ColtaX fellows. When the game was
over it was found that the score
stood rs to p in favor of Albion.
Adage; "ColfaX, never count your
chickens before they are hatched
The city council met in regular
session last Monday evening Rob't
McClaskey was appointed to act in
the capacity of town marshal and
pound master. j. r. Hainesworth
was appointed to act as treasurer on
account of NJ. C. Handley not quail
flying, and p. c. Smith was appointed
to act for a one-year term council
man in the place of Mrs. Susie Cum
ningham, who didn't qualify
Albion had its first movie last
Wednesday evening, when a man rep
resenting the John w. Graham estab-
ltshment demonstrated the Derry
motion picture machine. A large au-
dience was in attendance and the
show was appreciated by all present.
Albion high school played the
Steptoe high school last Saturday
evening and won from them by a
score of 1924. At the end of the
first half the score stood to 6 in
favor of the home team, but Steptoe
| began the second half strong and
when the whistle blew, ending the
game, the score was tied 22-22. In
the extra five minutes overtime the
home boys made four points, while
the Steptoe boys made but two. 1t
was hard-fOught game from start
to finish and played with great zeal
! by both teams. After the game the
/ Steptoe boys were given a reception
/ by the boys and girls of the high
school.
Endicott is to play the high school
here Friday, February II, and La
! Crosse the following night, February
?. Endicott has a strong team AMI
/ il will be appreciated if a large num-
Der of the townspeOple will be on the
side lines to cheer the boys on to
victory. La Crosse beat the home
boys on their own floor by two
points, so we can look for a hard
! fought game here next Saturday
evening. Come out and cheer for the
home boys. Games still the same old
price, 25 cents.
! February 7 is the date now set
for the next number of the Lyceum
/ Course, when Samuel Justine Sparks
will deliver his lecture to the people
! of this vicinity. We are in hopes
that the attraction will mature, in
stead of going astray as the last one
did
/ George Kerr has been digging post
holes for the Washington Water
Power company along the highway.
/ that is from the main line to connect
up the houses back off the road.
