tof the score. This game caused the
boys to come home more determin.
ed than ever to win the champion
ship OF the valley.
Holly again met Lamar on the
lamar court on Feb. 10th, and after
one of the most brilliant games
played in this part of the valley
/ defeated them by a score OF $500.
| Observers seid that Holly played a
I iIicifaet aAtne of basket ball the first
half but slowed down in the second
half because such a fast pace did
not need to be continued. r. Blair
made the most points for Holly
with d. Blair and Adkins as able
contenders for second place. The
guards again did excellent work in
preventing Lamar from scoring.
The last official league game was
PLAYED with Wiley on the Holly
court on Feb q. This game proved
2 walk-away as the Wiley boys
were neither strong enough or fast
enough to successfully oppose our
boys. The score was 45-l7. This was
one of the easiest games of the sea
son and our boys easily demonstrate
ed their prowess at the game of bas-
ket ball,
The grand climax of the years
games came last Friday evening
when Holly and Sugar City contend
ed, on the Rocky Ford court, for the
championship of the eastern and
central divisions. This game was
fast and played throughout at a
tremendous pace The splendid
guarding Of Shackelford did much to
prevent Sugar City from scoring.
Robson also guarded admirably
until the last few minutes OF play
when he was replaced by Wilson.
This game showed that Holly was
in perfect form and had hit a fast
stride OF basket ball which would
be hard to beat, The score was q
to q. r.. Blair and d. Blair with
lanes Adkins made most of the
points.
Few people. perhaps, realize the
Importance of good guards to a
team. Many are inclined to adopt
the attitude that since the forwards
make the scoring points that they
are the most necessary men on the
team. However this is never true,
for forwards without the support of
good guards and center would new
er be able to win game Each
nam of the five has a very imp0r-
tant part to play in making a sue
ccssinl team. and without the ef-
forts Of each one. the best team is
handicapped, Holly has been very
fortunate this year, as to good men
to compose our team. We have
gotten three new players from other
schools and the two others are OF
the old team last year. The snbsti.
tutes have also been unusually
strong. Holly has a right to. and
should feel very proud of the win
ming team which Coach Westgate
has produced for the Holly High
School The lineup for the season
has been: Forwards, Dale and Ra-
nald Blair, with James Fcarno as
substitute; Center, James Adkins.

EASTERN AND CENTRAL
TITLE WON BY HOLLY.

AS previously planned our High
School basket ball girls and boys
teams. having won out in clear
score OF preliminary games and
'copped" the championship In the
eastern division, departed last Fri.
day to meet the victorious tens Of
the central division to contest for
the championship OF the central
division.
On rgirls team consisted Of Dot
Marclf, Pearl Griffith, Georgia VIII
son. Zola Vincent, Ena Fowler, Es.
ther Holmes, Verna Wood and Maur
inc Hardy, superintended by their
coach, Miss Alcnius.

aid Blair, James Fearno, Colin VII
son, George Robson, Dean Eaton
and VIM Shackelford.
The boys played the Sugar City
team at Rocky Ford and the girls
played La Junta at the same place.
The girls lost to their opponents

score OF 20 to 81. This insures our
boys the championship OF the Cen.
tral division and q chance with the
Fowler boys On some neutral court
next Friday evening to win for the
state finals at Boulder In the near
future.
This is remarkable triumph for
our boys and puts Holly on the map
ms basket ball town regardless of
the issue of the next game on FRI
day evening.
Our girls are below the average
weight OF ordinary high school teams
but made 1t up in part in quick
ness, pluck and daring. The La
.Ilnta school Is, OF course. much
larger and employs a trained coach.
Miss Alenius is to be congratulated
on the plucky fight put up nv her
girls in the face Of such handieaps.
Prof. Westgatei g proud man
and feels repaid for his strenuous
training OF the boys In the light Of
so glorious victory. The boys ap-
preciate the training they have re-
ceived from their coach and know
that their success has depended in
large part on his instructions and
his insistance on vigorous and con-
stant practice.
About forty of the young people
gathered in the High School Gym.

reports OF the progress of the
games as they came in over the
telephone from Rocky Ford. Great
interest and enthusiasm was mani
fest as the reports were given from
time to time and a good time was
had by all.

Since Holly has now won tie
championship OF the Eastern and
Central division OF the Arkansas
valley League and bids fall. TO win
the championship Of the. cBttrc val
ley, It might be well ss- give a
brief resume of our teams playing
and determine those who made on
success possible The very first
rame of the season was played i'm.
mediately after holiday vacations On
January 6, when Holly met and de
feated the Lalin quintet In the
first game r.. Blair showed his abil-
ity at making baskets and secured
) of the II made. The guarding Of
Shackelford and Robson held tile
Lakin visitors to low score and
the excellent PLAYING of d. Blair
and James Adkins helped make pos
sIble the victory The score for this
game was 26 to 9.
On January II. the Holly boys
met the Granada team on the local
court and very easily defeated them.
1t was difficult to say who did the
best playing In this game as all did
equally well. The points were divid
cd about equally among the for
wards. THE score was Is TO u.
Holly again met Lakin, on the
Lakin floor on Jan. a, This proved
to be the hardest game yet played
by orr boys and was only won after
a close fight One of the big fea.
tnres of this game was the foul goal
shooting o. Robson, he putSng in
10 out OF 4 possible II. The other
players divided honogs for the NUM-
Der OF points. Again the excellent
guarding of Shackeltord and Robi-
son slowed the play OF the LalYl
team. Lakin had the edge on our
team the first half but the Holly
boys rallied and defeated them by
a score OF 25-22.
The first big game of the season
was played on Jan. 20, when the la.
mar bGys came to Holly and were
defeated. ID. Blair featured that
night with the most points. How
ever the entire team was working
as unit and 1t was only possible
to defeat the strong Iamar aggrcea-
tion by united playing. The score
was Is to l3.
Holly played its rirst league
game away from home on Jan. 2S,
when they went to Wiley. This
game was fast from the start and
was played with a vim that carried
the Wiley boys off their feet r.
Blair was again the most consistent
point getter with Adkins close
second. The score was 30 TO q.
The Holly team went TO Granada
on Feb. 3. and there met very stiir
opposition. The Granada boys put
up harder fight than was expected
ana carried the Holly team off their
feet IL - first half Holly. however
rallied in the second half and won
by close score of 1881. Many who
saw this game declared the Holly
boys were not in their usual form
and this accounted for the closcness

The Las Animas-Holly Debate

| hC uCDutC DCtWCCiI tiN
High School boys and the Las Ami
mas bays came off as scheduled al
Las Animas on last Friday evening
before small audience. The ques
ton, Resolved that a permanent
restriction should be placed on Eur
Opean immigration by law" was alb
ly discussed by both sides. Our
boys were at a decided disadvantage
having been Obliged to change from
the affirmative to the negative side
of the question and prepare new
arguments on the opposite side
After preparation OF arguments on
one side OF question: it is diff.
cult thing for the mind to readjrst
itself to entirely opposite argu
ments.
In the preliminary. lebates Las
Animas won against Lamar ane
Holly against Wiley. In both eases
the affirmative won ont. OF course
one side was obliged to switch to
the negative and the lot fell tt
Holly: so our boys were forced into
opposing arguments they had pre-
viOusly espoused. Added to this
handicap was the fact that the Hol
ly boys were speaking in strange
place before a strange and natural
ly, unsympathetic audience, while
the Is Animas boys were right al
home.
But the most serious factor was
the question itself. Judges are sup
posed to vote according to the
strength OF the arguments given
without regard to their own convic
tions or sympathies in regard to the
issues involved But 1t is human
nature to be swayed by arguments
in line with ones own opinions
The American people are almost
one In their opposition to unres
tricted immigration. The fact that
the affirmative won in both prelimi
nary debates indicates this tendency
to follow ones sympathies In the
question at Issue. As a matter OF
fact the affirmative is always at .
decided advantage except in dues'
tions that are practically one-sided,
With young debaters, especially II
Is much easier to present series
of arguments for an Issue In the
quiet of ones study, then it Is to
anticipate your opponents argu
ments and combat them largely on
the spur of the moment.
/ In view OF these considerations
It Is not surprising that our boys
were worsted in the debate. How,
ever they were game losers and have
said nothing to excuse their defeat
but on the. other hand have geneF'
ously declared that their opponents
were the best men and abler debat-
ers. Our boys are to be highly
commended. 1t means tremen-
dous amount of study. work and
worry to prepare and give debate
of this character and then switch
over to your opponents arguements
and give second debate.
The study and effort was. however
well worth the time and was an
excellent experience and will be OF
lasting benefit to the debaters.
There is no activity in our schools
more beneficial to the participants
or to the community.
Our debaters were Maynard
Wood, Charles Wright and Edgar
Cantwell.

Inability to hit the ball with any

chief obstacle of the Brown Derbies
this season, according to Manager
Gene Mccain 1--WE had a good
pitching staff, but the team wouldn't
hit behind them. When there was
any hitting we won games. Pitchers
cannot win all the ball games. They
must have some stickword behind
them to drive in the runs said Nc

over the showing of the locals II
