V.C. DEFEATS
WIMBLEDON

In thrilling game of basketball at
the high school gym last evening, the
local high school defeated the fast
Wimbledon five by score of 81 to 5.
The locals started their scoring ma
chine to work when Busdicker went
through on a dribble and sent the
ball through the ring. The sensation
Of hearing the ball glide through the
net brought the high school rooters to
their feet with a yell. From this time
on the locals seemed to be getting
back into their old form and sent the
ball through the basket almost at will.
Taking into consideration that this
was the first game of the season the
passing on both sides is to be COM
mented on. Although the visitors were
unable to penetrate the locals defense,
they did some fine passing but it
could not be compared with that of
the local five. Those who witnessed
the game last evening are convinced
that the local team will be one of the
strongest teams in the state this year.
Four letter men of last years state
championship team were back in the
lineup last evening and all seemed to
be working even better than last year.
During the whole game the ball was
kept in the locals territory. With the
exception of few times the visitors
were battling for the ball under the
Valley City basket.
Holmes who played center last
night easily outjumped his opponent
Kribbs. On each tip off the locals
would receive the ball and with some
clever passing work ii vc1"" t''~~
basket and send it through the ring
for a basket.
Although the score would indicate
the gs fe last evening was a one-sided
one, both teams were working hard
every minute of the game which kept
the spectators on their toes until the
final whistle was sounded.
The band was out to furnish the
music for the evening and rendered
a number of fine selections.
Following is the lineup Of last
nights game:

In view of the fact that several
times within the past two months
some person or boys with destructive
and thieving tendencies have removed
and taken away the steam guages on
the radiators in the post office lobby
it will be necessary for the custodian
from San Diego Sunday morning via
close the post office lobby after eight
o'clock p. m. unless this malicious de-
struction of public property is dis
continued. The post office lobby is
for the use Of the public and is not
loafing place, but during the eve
ming after 8 o'clock p. m. it has be-
come habit with young boys and
girls to meet and loaf around the lob
by when they should be at home, and
children who are sent to the post office
on business ought to be instructed to
transact their errand promptly and
loaf somewhere else than the post Of
flee lobby.

JUNIORS PROVIDE
ENJOYABLE PARTY

The Junior Class of the State
Teachers College enjoyed their annual
class party at the College on Monday
evening. The Juniors had as their
guests the faculty and the young men
of the school.
Dancing, carried on in the gymnas-
ium, was the principal amusement OF
the evening. The music was furnish
ed by the Mcfarland orchestra and
consisted of piano. drums, saxaphone
and cornet. For those who did not
wish to dance games were provided IN
the Commercial room consisting OF
rook, finch, and various stunts
which proved to be one of the main
attractions of the evening.
The receiving line was composed OF
the class officers, namely Dorothy Ait
ken, Gertrude Dunn, and Cara
Oertli and the class adviser, Miss Kit
tel. AS soon as the guests had all as
sembled an attempt was made to carry
out a Grand March led by Miss Kittel
and Mr.. Stephenson. This proved un-
successful as there were so many peo-
ple present that marching was impos-
sible, which fact is just another evl-
dence of the great need for a new
gymnasium which shall be of sufficient
Size to allow for the proper social life
of the school.
During the evening the dancing was
varied by ''lemon dance" similar to
tag dance except that lemons were
given to three or four of the boys
and these were passed around causing
a continued changing Of partners IN
the same manner as the tag dance:
Another diversion from the usual
waltz and fox-trot was the "broom
dance" This was also similar to
tag dance, brooms being substituted
for the ia gging. This left three boys
dancing with brooms. When the mu-
sic stopped everyone had to change
partners 80 that different boys would
be dancing with brooms. This feature
proved to be extremely amusing:
During the evening punch and wat-
ers were served. It is needless to say
that the punch bowl was we'll sur
rounded until the strains OF Home
Sweet Home" informed the happy
dancers that the time for departure
had arrived.
Those who had the party in charge
were very much pleased with the large
number who attended and thus helped
to make it so successful.

CALLS ATTENTION TO URGENT NEEDS
OF STREET SIGNS AND NUMBERS

place that one would naturally sup
pose street signs to be found. at street
corners. arc void OF all directory pla-
cards. Those street signs that have
eible. The paint is worn off. and the
signs in many cases have been twisted
so as to be misleading.
when I came to Pueblo II was with
great difficulty that / found lodgings
that was to procure by directions
given me by q rental agent" continued
the weather observer.
In different sections of Pueblo dif
fercnt methods of street marking are
used. In some parts Of this city the
street names are imprinted in cement
curbings. in other parts are placed on
standard. that are undecipherable.
because the paint has worn off. Still
in other sections the street names, or
numbers. arc placed on an ornamental
traffic. regulator In the center of the
street intersection.
House numbers are often times so
rusty that they cannot be seen. In a
great number of cases they have been
painted over, while some residences
and business houses have no number
at all.
The last time street signs were
erected in the northsidc districts OF
Pueblo was in 1902, 1t is said. At thst
time standard of cast iron was
placed at street corners with the
names painted on tin plates. The pain,
soon wore off. being subject to weather
changes, and was never renewed.
practical jokers played havoc with
signs by so twisting them as to re-
name the streets in error.
The signs that were erected in 1902
cost but s1.65. 1t Is said.
Many visitors in Pueblo have com
planned to business men about the dif-
ficulty in locating streets and house
numbers because of the total absence,
or condition. of the signs.
