BASKETBALL NOTES
By HAROLD HENDERSON.

Fort Scott high school won its
twelfth consecutive victory of the sea
son last week, when it defeated
Springfield, Mo. by a score of rs to
IL, in a game played Friday night on
the Springfield court Altho the
Springfield five is one of the strongest
in southern Missouri, the Fort Scott
bows demonstrated the superiority of
Kansas high school basketball over
that of Missouri. Fort Scott will play
Cherokee county high school, of Co
lurnbus tonight on the Fort Scott
court. Altho it is Fort SCOTS thir-
teenth game of the season, it is not
superstitious.
The Lawrence high school quintet
will play the Ottawa high school team
Friday night on the Haskell Institute
court. The game promises to be a
very close contest Emporia high
school defeated both of these teams
by margin of only one point.
The Kansas City Athletic cIub-Col-
lege of Emporia game, which was to
have been played on February 25, will
be played on February "a, on account
of the athletic clubs invitation track
Mo-. on February %. The College of
Emporia relay team will run a relay
race against Washburn at the meet.
CoWefl, Kansas Aggfe guard, is lead
ing his team mates in the number of
scores made. He has scored four field
baskets and twenty-one free throws,
making a total of twenty-nine points.
Weber and Dodson are tied for sec
ond honors with eight baskets Gagged.
All the championship of the boys
division of the Rice county high school
league was definitely decided at the
completion of the league schedule, as
with a percentage of 1000. The
championship in the girls division is
still in doubt. The Allen, Raym ond
and Lyons seXtettes are tied for first
place. Each team has Il percentage of
.S33. A play-off of the tie will be
held at an early date.
The Mcpherson high school five
practically cIinched the Central Kan
sas league title by defeating Junction
City and Abilene last week. McPher-
son has won six games and has re-
ceived one defeat. Abilene is in sec
ond place with four victories and
three defeats. However. Abilene has
a narrow chance of tying McPher-
son for the championship at the close
of the season. The Abilenle-Salina
contest which Abilene lost will be
played ever and in case of an Abb
1ene victory, the Abilene quintet will
have five victories and only two de-
feats 10 its credit. Following this
proposed victory. if Abilene should
win all its remaining games and Nc
Pherson should lose to Junction City,
a tie WouM result.

OWENSBORO

Greensboro is one of Kentucky's
most important and attractive cities.
1t derives its Importance from the
large nun and varied character
of its ind, les and from the extern
sive commerce it transacts.
Daviess county, of which Owens
boro is the seat of justice, runs neck
and neck with Graves for the honor
of being the greatest tobacco and
corn county in the State.
Long one of the largest tobacco
markets in the world and an increas-
ingly popular location for industry,
Greensboro is progressive and en-
lightened city. Its location on the
Ohio, midway between Louisville
and Paducah, gives Greensboro a
definite trading territory all its own.
When the Ohio is opened from
Pittsburg to Cairo, Owensboros
transportation facilities will be I'M
excelled. 1t is now served by three
railroads, the Henderson Route, the
Illinois Central and the L. & NJ In
addition the new federal highway,
the Ohio river route, passes through
Greensboro and connects it with
many miles of country.
To give an idea of Owensboros
financial size, it's bank clearings for
1921 amounted to more than $45,-
100000. The resources of its banks
total more than ,$10,00O,00O. It's
population is between 10000 and
$4,000.
1t is not easy to lay ones finger
on the factors that make greensboro
such delightful place to live. For
those factors go beyond Owensboros
mere physical good looks. In it's
century of existence greensboro has
acquired singular charm, spirit
that breathes of fragrant memories
and cherished associations. This
rather elusive quality is evident in
the courtesy and generosity of Ow-
ensboro's citizenship which is dis
tinguished by it's loyalty to the old
towns past and its belief in Owens
boro's future.
