The Esther boys are fine team O.
clean players, all the boys near Tn,

thing, and that was their team work
AT the end of the first half the scor,
was ID to 10, but our boys put on ar
extra head Of steam in the last hald
and won out by the above score. The
Esther boys are at great disadvant-
age in not having an indoor court OF
their own, having to do all their prac-

But we are glad to hear that next
year they will have new high school
building of their own, as they expect
to build this summer. Quite large
delegation Of rooters accompanied the
players from Esther, and there was d
large delegation Of our own rooters
on hand to cheer our boys on to vic
tory. Excitement ran pretty high,
but at all times good feeling prevailed,
and all enjoyed the game.
