compasses everything that Florida
soil produces, from the staples such
as corn, oats, cotton, etc, TO the rare
tropical fruits from the lower tip of
the peninsula The citrus fruit dis

cured meats is a hunger-provoker.
The livestock sheds are filled with
blooded stock, and the poultry show
is riot of color, Growing and cack-
ling.
The Canadian building is a days
entertainment in itself The Domin-

marvel and really educational.
The first natural history museum
in the state is that at the fair, with
several hundred mounted specimens

acts provide world of entertainment
and the Pike is so extensive that the
most blase can find something new

leaving the final score +2-3. in favor
Of Centennial. Pueblo's colored or
ward, Eibeck. was one of the stars of
the tournament, but thru the excellent
guarding Of Chuck Wright in this
game, ne was held 10 two field goals
in each half.
Saturday morning the Cowboys met
their fourth opponent, Fowler High
Schol. and won from them by a score
Of - TO 6. The game was lacking in
any particularly noteworthy features,
as there was 4 painful absence Of the
teamwork, pep and fighting spirit
shown in the Pueblo game. Gunnison
held the lead from the start Hewitt
went wild and made many easy goals.
kelleghan replaced Miller in the sec
ond half on account of injuries to the
latter.
The final struggle, with the Colorado
Springs TerrOrs for third place, took
place Saturday afternoon before re-
crd-breaking crowd, and was fitting
preliminary for the championship
match between Greeley and Pueblo
that evening. The star, Colorado
Springs center, Warner. was shifted 10
forward, as he had no chance to out
jump Miller at center, and in the po-
sition Of forward he succeeded in Gag
ing six baskets in each half. Ryan,
their other forward. made more field
goals, which provided slow music and
flowers for Gunnison's third place cup.
Hewitt made three field goals for the
Cowboys in the first half and showed
an exceptional skill in evading his
guards and shooting at the basket un-
der the heaviest opposition. The first
half ended 23-l6 in favor of the Ter
rors, and the final score was 1881
The Terrors made 10 personal fouls to
the Cowboys 2.

were announced. The title holders.
Greeley, placed three men on the first
team and Pueblo and Colorado Springs
each placed one. Hewitt took a place

Elbeck, negro forward on the Pueblo
team, beat Hewitt out for this place
on the first team, despite the fact that
Hewitt played a much more clean
and consistent game than Elbeck. The
Pueblo man showed a rare basketball
genius, but played in spurts, while
Hewitt played at the same high speed
and with the same skill thruout the
tournament. Elbeck had system of
