Notes on the Game

Then it's rah, rah, for the home
team.
Those darling little individual
cups. And how the girls do prize
them!
Wa, wa, we paddle our own canoe.
We are A. H. s.; who are your
Frank Mclaughlin.
Hats off to Coach Olson and Supt.
McIntire. Both are entitled to wear
the honors so Just their due.
Wasn't that a grand tribute the
people of Audubon paid the estate
Champions" on their return home
Sunday?
The whistles came into play very
nicely. It was a good stunt and ev-
cry person knew what had happened
as soon as the whistles blew.
The way Masterson and Johnson
filled their positions as substitutes
in the semi-finals entities them to
all the honors and privileges Of the
order.
Did you ever see a town, in your
life, where people are more loyal
than they are right here in Audu-
bon-the best town on earth of her
inches?
Mclaughlin can receive and dis
pose OF the ball just little bit
quicker than any center we have
ever seen. And how she does love
to deliver it to Dorcas.
Edwin Van Gorder likes a basket
ball game as we'll as a duck likes
water. He was an interested spec
tator and watched the game like a
hawk. And how he did root!
Frank Mclaughlin is so enthusi-
astic about basketball that he said
he wished all OF his girls were as
good players as Grace, so they could
have a game at home every night.
The Republican representative
never saw a company of Audubon
people any happier or more harmon
ious than they were Saturday. They
had but one thought in mind-the
success of the home team.
II anyone tries to tell you that
Supt. McIntire can't call a bluff in
a dignified and convincing manner,
you tell them that he should have
heard the way he called the Mingo
coach's bluff. There was no COM
aflouging.
We are all of the opinion that
Beason, Spencer or Mclaughlin
should have had first choice over
the Ottumwa players for place on
the all-star team. Anyone of the
three girls was entitled to that po-
sition, by long odds.
Supt. McIntire, the coach and the
players were all we'll pleased with
the referees. Audubon stood high in
the estimation of all three. They
gave our girls credit for being clean,
clever players and never attempting
to purposely make foul.
Hansen and Anderson have a way
of getting the ball into the basket
that keeps business forging ahead at
the score board. Hansen has the fac
ulty of delivering the ball In the
right place every time. Her oppon-
ents had poor luck intercepting the
ball.
Weighton worked in perfect form
in each and every game. Margaret
is entitled to her full share of the
glory. Her opponents took one long
look at her and didn't attempt any
underhand work. II they had, they
would have been compelled to take
the count.
M. I. Masterson, Frank McLaugh-
lin, A. j. Shupe, Geo. Gore and II. j.
Hoogenakker used their cars to
transport the folks to see the games.
They did their bit too, when 1t
came to making a demonstration or
assisting the high school boys and
girls with their yells.
Talk about a thriller! We had a
real one when Beason successfully
Intercepted the BALI, passed It back
to Masterson, who in turn sent 1t
to Anderson. She made the basket
with a degree of confidence that
won her the esteem of every spec
tator. The defeated team even adj
mired the way the finishing touch
was applied.
