TRIP OF BASKET
BALL TEAM COSTS
loss OF TWO GAMES

Friday afternoon our high school
basket ball team left for Nampa to
compete with their FIVE. After we
arrived we went to the Graystone
hotel and sat aruond until 1920 and
then went to the school house to get
ready for the game. The Nampa
team played the second team and the
second team lost by a large score.
After the preliminary game we took
the floor and shot a few baskets,
The players were Tge and Norell for
wards, for the first ten minutes,
then John Hutchinson took Byron
NorelPs place, John Sethen playing
center, Orland Mast and Vyrden Cox
Inns guards. The first five minutes
the score was to in favor Of
Mountain Home, then Compton OF
the Nampa team got lucky and
started to shoot long Shots then the
whole Nampa team begun to shoot
long shots and were real lucky, the
game was rough and fast
Toward the end of the game Col-
Inns was taken out on personal fouls
and Tye gave his place to Hutch and
took up the suard and about the
last three minutes he threw the
ball from under Nampa'- basket and
as luck would have 1t, it fell through
the hoop. The score at the end OF
the game was SO to 20. Mast made
9, Tye 7, Sathen 4, and the rest OF
the team had a little tough luck.
Saturday we played Caldwell on
their floor. Their team averaged
lat pounds with our averaged OF
1870 pounds. The game was fast and
enly few fouls were made. When
we went on the floor we could see
the crowd grin and almost hear
them say to their neighbors we've
sure got a walk away tonight" But
the first Is minutes the score stood
10 to IL in our favor. Jensons had
little luck and brought the score
up to 19 to IL by the end of the first
| halt
The second half was fast and full
Of fight though they were in the lead
10 points, which was no sign how
ever, that they out played US The
final score was 19 to 20. Tye was
responsible for II points, NoTell 6,
Hutch 2, and the rest had to play
ball, and had no time to shoot. The
coach said that we made a good come
back and had them scared when the
score stood 19 to 23, then they
played real ball and 50 did we,
After the game Caldwell gave us
feed and the girls sang some songs.
Then they ask for each one Of us to
give talk and some wouldn't even
stand up, and the ones that did try
to talk acted like an eel in imprison-
ment. Caldwell is the only place
that we have played that we were
treated like friends, and though they
had us out weighed they played
clean ball
A few real funny things happened
at Caldwell. We were out sight see
ling and passed a store where pop
corn machine WAS busy popping corn
and in the middle of the snowy
flakes stood dozen kewpies doing
the shlmmy dance. One of the mem
bers called to the rest Of the team
to come and discover how it worked
he stayed there for about five min
utes and then gave it up as hope
less mystery,
The scores sound like bad defeat
but from our stand point it was on
Ily what we expected, but Saturday
night we play Boise on the home
floor and we can promise good fast
and clean gena o. ball Let's plar
basket ball only and II you haven't
the thirty cents admittanoe, hock
the family jewels and see us takt
the game--Arthur Tye.
