This team showed definite signs of

Cokeville deserves much credit for
the spirit shown throughout the
battle.

r. HI. S. Defeated
Swedes Last Night

There has been many interesting
and exciting basket ball games in
Rawlins during the past few years
bat the game last night bewteen
the Rawlins High School and Oh
sons Terrible Swedes was the best
ever.
Monday evening these two teams
met and Rawlins High was defeated
after three extra five minute per-
iods. Last night the Rawlins High
turned the tables and defeated the
Swedes by the score of 20 to 60.
The game started on with n rush
and Rawlins early took the lead
and maintained it until near the end
Of the first half when he Swedes
tied them. The first half ended "a
to "a.
The second half started off badly
for Rawlins with the Swedes never
missing a shot for basket and the
Rawlins boys seemingly unable to
locate the hoop. Several close-ups
shots were missed by Rawlins and
ii looked as IL they were going to
lead of IL points when Rawlins
started scoring and for the last FIVE
minutes OF play our boys were in
the lead. 1t looked as II the score
would be 30 to ca but n long shot
went into the basket just as the final
whistle blew, making the final score
20 to SO.
Both teams worked hard and fast
and goal after goal was scored
Many shots looked almost imposs-
ible. but they were repeated 81 Of
ten by both teams that the specta-
tors really began to expect ALMOST
anything.
The Swedes have not played any
high school teams on their trip,
playing town teams and university
teams exclusively, until they came
to Rawlins. The feat OF Rawlins
in defeating "A team such as this n
shows the calibre OF our local boys.
Anyone who did not see the game
last night and who enjoys fast bas-
ket ball can consider themselves As
mighty unfortunate.

series of Elk's dances being given
this season by the Social and Com
munity Welfare committee of that
organization. For the dance is
scheduled for the night of February

RAWLINS HOLDS
SWEDES TO TIE

freSn from tnelr our OF the
southwestern section of the state,
where they garnered four straight
victories each OF which vas a record
breaker in its way. the Rawlins
High School basic, ball team Mon
day night held the Olsen Terrible
Swedes to a tie at the score of Al
an overtim epreiod of five minutes
for the tie. This resulted in a tied
score at AS; another period was
agreed on 1t tied at Al. The third
an overtime period Of five minutes
five minutes duration gave the game
to the visitors from Coffeyville,
Kansas, on a score of SO to 40.
Many who have followed the des-
tiny of the local stars feel that this
final score would have been different
had Captain Lee Vivion not been
taken out because of injuries after
the second overtime period.
Since the Coffeyville. Kansas.
eam has not, on its present tour
through Nebraska. Colorado and
Wyoming, deigned to play teams of
less standing than university and
professional class the fact that Raw
Inns High was able to contract with
them at all is a signal honor-but
to hold them to a hardfought tie
was beyond the dreams Of even
prejudice-blinded supporters.
At the end OF the first half the
score stood 10 to 81 in favor of
the Swedes. A series of close plays
which finished in the neatest sort
of baskets was made by the Raw

rible Swedes always in the lead but
Rawlins never but two points to the
rear At one time Rawlins passed
their opponents. registering a score
Of 43 to Al. So great was the crowd
of spectators that the gallery and
main floor combined were not suffic-
lent to handle 1t. and portions of
II, distinctly juvenile, were allowed
to spill out upon the floor itself.
Throughout the entire hour and five
minutes of play the audience was
held tense, and left the gym moro
nearly exhausted than the players.
The Olsen game was marked with
a cleverness which seemed almost
to be grandstand. but which was en-
gineered merely to baffle the oppo-
sition and to save labor. OF special
value in this connection was the
pass OF TWO OF tls Nisitors'
Any member OF the C~offeyville
team seemed to be able to make

rendezvous for sport lovers and a
charming place for social activities

ing and at II o'clock n delicious buff
fet lunch was served. After the re-
past the dining room was cleared
and dancing to the strains of Bran
dies orchestra continued until the

The architecture of the club house
is simple and pleasing and is situated
in a green valley about four miles
west of Rawlins. an easy distance by
auto.
The opening affair was a gala
event and is a forerunner of many
other similar ones.
