Girls Team Defeated
Our girls team had the little end
of the SO score at Roseville Friday
night. The two teams are about
evenly matched as we defeated Rose
Vile here three weeks ago, by a
very lopsided score. This was the
second girls game of the season and
this is the first season since 1915 that

team. There were only two fouls
made in the whole game, both on our
side, but Roseville made neither of
the free throws. Allison was the
shining light for RoseviIIe, making
all the points.

Shawnee Hi Loses to M. & NJ.
In one of the very fastest games of
the basket ball season, Shawnee
high school was taken over by M. &

23 to 26. 1t was one of the very

hrst half with seemingly safe mar
to 8, but, rallying in the lat
ter half, the visitors scored IA
points, while M. & M. only tailed
IL. The local squad played very
well as a whole, while Shawnee
played a wonderful defensive game.
Kennard shot with true eye. and
was able to score fields, several of
which were very sensational. OF
the visiting team it is not as easy to
pick an individual star, but Norris,
who played right forward, managed
to cage the most field goals.
First Half-The opening whistle
was followed by very fast playing,
but M. & M. scored first when White
Gagged a free throw. Shawnee tied
the score a moment later, when
Crawford tailed on a foul. Kennard
followed several minutes later with
a field from the side, and then an
other very difficult shot from the
center of the floor. Shawnee fouled
twice, and White scored on one oi
them, after which Kennard tossed
another field goal. Shawnee scored
again, when Crawford Gagged one
from the side. Then White scored
