margin in the final game of the

was 10 to 80 in favor of the high

aul started a better class of ball
after the first half, but the come
back was too late in the game and
the high schools lead of II points
was too large to overcome.
Unless state tournament IS

the season for both teams. Three
players will be lost by the high
school this year through gradua-
ton. They are SalaZar, Glassman

Especial Correspondence to The JournaI)
Santa Fe March 4.-The last
basketball games of the season at
the national guard armory last
night, resulted in victories for the
high school teams over the deaf
and dumb school. The girls won
by a score of II to 5, thus giving
them nine victories out of thirteen
games played two of the four
games lost being to the normal
university at Las Vegas and a third
game to Albuquerque high. The
scores of the games won exceeded
the score of the games lost by 35,
despite the high score rolled up
by the normal university, which
really should be classed with the
collegiate teams rather than the
high schools. The boys won by o
score of 10 to SO and also closed a
very creditable season which
placed the Santa Fe high school
basketeers high among the state
teams.
