kE0TA SURPRISES
BASKET BALL TEAMS

We think 1t is no secret that the
Raymer High School teams met big
surprise last Friday night at Keota.
They did expect that they would
meet much stronger team than last
year. but had not counted, ON the tall
enders Of last season coming to the
front 30 strong as to be dangerous to
the champions Of last season.
The score Of II to 1e In favor Of
the Raymer boys shows that we have
no reason to crow overly long or
loud over the result.
We are glad to see the Keota team
grow in strength and add to the in
terest Of the athletics. but honest We
are most pursuaded that they are
overriding 1t, They are about as good
as we want to see them now. at least
until after the game here February
Srdr We might also say. II you will
not tell 1t at Grover. that after that
time, we would like to see you go
strong and put 1t over Grover.
The results in the girls game was
not 80 much OF a surprise, as there
have been many old players out and
the new lineup has not had the sx-
perience and training to put them
at their best.
However, We have q fine lot of
girls on the team, and watch them
come to the front when they have
been In q few more games.
On Saturday evening at Grover
Buckingham boys and girls both lost
by decisive scores.
Tomorrow evening on the Ray
mer floor both teams meet the Grover
teams. Grover has been playing sew
eral games. present the same strong
forwards. vogliotti and jennings that
they had last year on the boys team
The games will be hotly contested and
will be we'll worth seeing.
Let US. old and young. remember
that Grover will be our guests and
that II we fail to be courteous. we in
jure no one 10 much - ourselves.
We commend the rivalry that In
spires each to excel. but the excel
lence that eclipses everything else is
that which scorns q victoy by any
thing that lowers the highest stand
ards Of good sportsmanship.
We are commencing a new season
and let us foget the fancied things
that have gone before and resolve
that this year shall be free from any
of the bitterness Of former times.
