RAWLINS DEFEATS EVANSTON
Evanston High has a fast basket
ball team but not fast enough
thus runs the verdict Of the large
number OF Rawiins rooters who as
sembled In the High School Gym
nasium last Thursday evening to
witness the game between the high
ly touted quintette from Evanston
and the local high.
1t was q great game-in fact one
OF those affairs basketball FAM read
about but SO seldom see, altho the
final score 81 to 16. in favor of
the local boys. would scarcely in
dictate a closely fought contest.
When 1t Is remembered that
Weller, LOOMS and Conley. three
OF the locals first string men, were
unable to participate in last Thurs
days game. victory by Rawlins was
quite an achievement. The Evans
ton team. with the majority Of the
players seasoned veterans. came to
Rawlins with Al enviable record for
games won and lost. Out OF a total
Of 19 games played this season they
are credited with IL victories and z
defeats. OF the seven games lost
the Evanston first team had dropped
four and the second team three.
It was the first team that put in
an appearance last Thursday.

end Of the first and second halves.
