Both Basket Ball Teams Play Fault
lessly and Win Games by
Decisive Scores

The boys and girls basket ball
teams Of the A. H. s. played fast
games at the high school building
on Thursday and Friday nights Of
last week.
The Thursday evening game was
scheduled with the fast girls team
from Nevada. A record-breaking
crowd was out to witness the gamo.
The preliminary game was staged
between the Juniors ad Seniors of
the high school, the game resulting
in favor of the Seniors.
The boys played a snappy game,
but it remained for the girls to bring
enthusiasm to the boiling point. The
girls team had won every game
played so far this season and had
challenged teams from other schools
who had similar record. Nevada
accepted the challenge for two
games. The game opened fast and
furious. The home girls, who are
always quiet and decorous, were
taken off their feet the first few
minutes by the rough tactics OF the
Nevada girls. The visitors made n
few scores. This did not set we'll
with the home team. The girls were
equal to the occasion, however, and
soon started to ruff 1t" little
themselves, with the result that they
continued to score, and won the
game IA to z.
1t was plainly visible that the Wis
itors were disappointed for they had
won so many games, and had gotten
by with their method of playing.

The Nevada boys team was sched-
uled 10 play in Jefferson, and were
compelled to change ears at Carroll,
so it was arranged for them to come
to Audubon. In the meantime a
game between the visitors and the
Audubon team was arranged for
Friday evening. They played tho
preliminaries, but the Audubon boys
were such poppy bunch they clean
ed up the visitors by the score of "a,
to 10. The game was a clean-cut con-
test, with the best team winning.
The big card of the evening was
the second contest between the girls
teams from the two schools. Both
teams were quite evenly matched
and In the first few minutes Of play

second half opened snappy. The Wis
itors had decided to double on Dor

the score IL possible. They had not
taken into consideration, however.

team who could throw baskets
equally as well. While the visitors

The team work by the girls was
the best ever and there would have
been no victories IL each one had

There are no weak spots in the homo

Whenever you get two better
guards than Beason and Spencer, We
want to hear about them.
We noticed there was plenty going
on in the pep corner" It's the
pep" that helps bring home tho
bacon.
We don't want to slight any one
of the girls of the team, for one IL AZ
much deserving of mention as the
other.
II there are any other spindle

think they can get by with any old

Mclaughlin. They can show them
where to head In at
The Nevada girls were accorded
every courtesy possible and were
made to feel welcome in Audubon,
