Town Team Won.

The first of the series of three
games to be played between the
local town and high school baskel
ball teams was won last night by
the towners, with a score of q
to %. Yes, it was close-a red
hot contest all the way through
and the high had the best of the
first half with IA to IL. A small
crowd witnessed the match, much
smaller than it should have been,
for it was worth seeing-every
minute of it.
The next game happens tomor-
row (Friday) night, and the
third on Tuesday night, March 8;
Make yourself a committee OF
one to see that big crowd takes
in these two. Sure, the high
school plans to win the next one ;
said it could have won the last,
but-the other fellows shot too
many baskets, or something.
