The Fredericktown girls and boys
basket ball teams of the high school
played our girls and boys here on the
local court last Friday evening. Our
girls won by the score of Is to IL. Our
boys won by the score of AZ to 18.
Fredericktown has a clean bunch of
Basket ball players, and the boys are
as fine looking bunch of athletes as
we have seen this season, but our boys
had it on them in team work. Our
boys go to st. Louis Wednesday af-
ternoon to take part in the tourna-
ment at Washington University Thurs
day and Friday. We do not expect to
bring back any trophies, but the inspi-
ration which they will receive while
guests of the Washington University
will be worth more than they would
get most anywhere else. We believe
we have the fastest aggregation of
basket ball players of any of the
schools in the county this year, and if
they had been given squane deal in
the race for the Indoor Cup2this sea-
son, they would have won it, hands
down, as they defeated the best teams
in the county in Desloge and Esther.
They refused to play Flat River last
Friday evening, according to the de-
cision of the Executive Committee last
week at Flat River, of which Mr.. Alb
ernathy of Esther was chairman, and
our citizens heartily endorse their ac-
ton in the matter. We suppose that
Esther will get the cup as it stands
now, but we don't concede them to be
the champions, though they have been
so elected by the committees and we
would not have the cup unless we had
| fairly won it, beyond any doubt.
