Senior girls and Sophomore boys.
Wednesday nights games were be-

the Freshman and Sophomore boys.
The Seniors won from the Juniors by
the one-sided score of twelve to one.
The Juniors can hardly be blamed for
their defeat as the Senior team vas
composed of three players from last
years high school team.
The Sophomores defeated the Fresh
men by the stupendous score Of tw-
enty-four to seven. The Freshmen's
defeat was caused by lack of team
work and experience.

the season.
Coach Damburg is working the boys
hard on a bunch of new plays, by the
aid of which we expect TO make this

Hearth Fire" was presented at
the Opera House by the class in Nor

with what he said about loyalty to

Then he said that in the measure in

is lacking. It must be because the
prize offered to the girls Is not what
they consider stylish or suitable for
themselves. We hope that the girls
will start in and beat the boys on
ticket selling, because a girl ought to
beat a boy about two to one when it
comes to bringing in the proceeds and
VIZ certainly want a lot Of money out
of this ticket selling campaign.
New suits and basketballs cost like
sin and such things aren't given away
nowadays. IL will cost about $3.50 to
bring the teams here that are now
scheduled to play US, besides Incl
dental expenses that are sure to come
up.
Selling one hundred outsiders tic
kets will bring this amount into the
treasury or fifty outsiders and about
sixty II. s. tickets. II seems as If
il ought to be very little trouble to
sell that many season tickets IL ev7
gets behind and helps.
Here is Highmore with a $126 crowd
one night and nearly a 500 crowd the
next night at basketball games with
Pierre and Miller and our full gym
will only bring us about $40, so IL a

ought to be ashamed of ourselves IL
we don't make this season a great
success financially.
