TEAM LEFT FOR
MOSCOW monday
WHAT LEADORE THINKS OF THE
RESULT OF TOURNAMENT
IN DISTRICT SEVEN

Last Monday morning the Challis
Basket Ball team with Coach Mitchell
left for Moscow, going to Salmon that
day and leaving Salmon the following
morning for Moscow going by way
of Butte,
The boys, while not over-confident
of victory believe that they will let
the other contestants in the big tourn-
anent know that they were on the
job.
At the beginning of the series last
fall tentative agreement was had
between Arco, Mackay, Challis, Sal
mon and Leadore, that the winning
team in the series of games in the
Seventh District, would receive f.
rancial aid in making the trip from
the other four members of the Sew
enth District.
All members of the district have
come across handsonemly with the ex-
ception of Arco.
We believe that the one delinquent
member will do his share. 1t is a
matter they owe themselves as well
as the entire Seventh District
We believe that the two delinquent
members of the organization will do
their share. 1t is matter they owe
themselves as well as the Seventh
District.
The following letter from Leadore
is very gratifying and shows spirit
of good craftsmanship which we be-
lieve will be greatly appreciated and
commended by our readers:
Leadore, Idaho.

of basket ball games in progress, the
winner to participate in state tourna-
ment honors. On her own floor Lead
ore high met Challis high, went into
battle bravely, and just as brayely &C
knowledged defeat.
A finer, cleaner game of basket bail
is rarely witnessed sup until
the very last minute The play
from the start was so swift, so keen,
so compelling The referee
ing was fair but not fast enough.
When at the end of the first quarter
the count was to 2 with Deadore
leading end of first half to
with Challis on the long end it
was anybodys game first quar-
ter of last half Leadore Challis 7;
But, in the last quarter If
ter two minute rest, with one point
in the lead Challis changed her tactics
and here her superior experience and
almost perfect coordination of team
work told. To hold that point she
threw out a mastery 5.man defense
Leadore high school responded by
sending in squad of four men who
broke and rebroke that defense, only
to have it reformed. Challis
with a beautiful long heave made the
goal which scored her to 6 with one
minute to go. Then occurred the
only fluke plays of the evening, Chal
lis high slapped two wild heaves thru
the loop and the game was over. By
fukes 1 do not mean dishonest, mere
ly chance shots with Leadore's guard
down. That the best playing
team is going to Moscow cannot be
questioned. Leadore is proud of
her basket ball boys, and their record.
And so, with helping hand held
to her victorious rival, and sincere
hope that Challis brings home the ba-
con from Moscow, Leadore cheers her
forth with the admonition spoken by |
a great man "That a winner never |
1uits, and a gutter never wins" while |
she, herself, turns to the great out |
of-doors and the enticing sport of mar
cles and pitching horseshoes.
Yours truly

Spanish Politics
Somewhat Mixed
In Absence Premier

Port Nenderes, France, Franco
Spanish Frontier. Oct. 31.-By A.
P.)-Thc political situation in Spain
has become somewhat complicated
since the departure for Morocco of
General Primo Rivera. the premier,
whose presence hitherto has caused
a. certain restraint to the turbulent
spirits among the partisans OF the
civil regime.
Virtually all sections of the coun-
try are said to recognize that Cen
eral Primo Rivera. since his arrival
at. the scene Corporations in Nor
COCO. has been executing with rapid
il! the task which, it is generally
conceded, should have been UNDER
taken several years ago. namely, the
abandonment of dozens of useless
positions whose objects originally
were to prevent raids by the fol-
lowers of the bandit leader, Raisuli.
Although Raisuli for some time
past has been on apparently friend
ly terms with Spain. the Moroccan
positions. totalling several hundred,
have been maintained at heavy
cost of lives and money. The prem
Ter always favored their evacuation
and took the first opportunity to put
the plan into effect.
Meanwhile, in and out of Spain,
former political leaders have taken
advantage of General Primo Rivera's
absence to begin an agitation.
The Ateneo Gree university of
Madrid) which is the center of acti-
vities of the more radical elements
among politicians and intellectuals,
maintained complete silence for
several months, but this week 1t an
nounced it would hold All assembly
for the election of new governing
body. A large number of members
gathered Wednesday evening to par
ticipate in the voting. but they found
the Ateneo occupied by the police.
The meeting and election were post
poned.
Earlier in the week a dinner was
organized ostensibly for the purpose
of congratulating Professor Pedro
Saenz on his attitude at the opening
exercises of the University. It was
believed by many, that the gathering
was intended as political manifesto
against the military directorate.
Many leading politicians announced
they would attend.
Two of the expected guests failed
to appear, while General Berenguer
arrived only in time for the desert
and the speeches. During the din
ner the room was invaded by the
police who, when the orators made
melting remarks construed as an
appeal to General Berenguer to take
the lead in overturning the military
dictator, started clearing ne place.
Several radical leaders were arrest
ed and taken to jail.
