The double header basket ball game
Friday night between Flat River high
school and Marvin College, proved to
be two of the most interesting games
played in the county this season. In
both games both sides were deter
mined to win. The girls game, which
was first, was very exciting, but the
Flat River team was full of pep and
succeeded in playing the Marvin team
"off their feet" and resulted in score
of % to II in their favor. The boys
game was surprise to every one and
was more so to themselves. Marvin
had an unusually good team but our
boys proved to be the stronger and
ran the score up to 80 to 81. The
girls who played were: Mariana Ce-
