SCHOOL NOTES

The first basketball games OF
the season were played last Friday
evening when the boys and girls
teams of White Bluffs and Benton
City met at the latter place.
The girls game was played first.
The final score was White Bluffs "a
and Benton City 8. The White Bluffs
girls displayed their usual playing
speed coupled with plenty of energy
and determination and the result was
the complete bewilderment Of the OPP
ponents. Benton City made one field
goal and converted one foul. For
White Bluffs, Ellen Anderson at for
ward made six field goals. Marie
Weber at forward made five field
goals and converted two fouls. The
other players on the team were Edna
Johnson at center, Marguerite Troman-
tauser, right guard and Martha
Sutherland left guard. No substitu-
tons were made for the White Bluffs
girls during the game.
In case of the boys game which
followed, the facts were practically re-
velsed. The final score was Benton
City % and White Bluffs Is. AT the
very opening of the game Benton
City displayed bewildering attack
and an air tight five-man defense.
The White Bluffs boys acted as
though helpless and suffering as from
an acute siege of stage fright. During
the first half Benton City ran up 10
points, making nine field goals and
converting two technical fouls. Only
one personal foul was called during
the entire game. The White Bluffs
boys came to the end of the first halt
without a single point to their credit
The nearest they ever got to the goal
was in the four foul throws allowed
Arthur Anderson and everyone o.
which he missed. The second hall
of the game constituted different
story. The White Bluffs boys had
finally collected their wits and com.
menced to display evidences Of fight
The effect was instant.
They commenced to throw fiele
goals and convert fouls. In all White
Bluffs ran up Is points to Benton
City's five in the last half. Four flele
goals were made by Carl Wagner.
He also converted one foul throw.
Charles English made three fiele
: goals and converted two foul throws
Arthur Anderson converted one fou
throw.
The team lined up Charles English
center, Carl Wagner and Patricl
Clark forwards, Arthur Anderson ant
Minor Slingsby guards. In the sec
ond half Russell Blair was substituted
for Patrick Clark at forward.
The teams and a number of FAM
were taken to Benton City in Mr.. Ed
mund Anderson's bus. To say tina
the. trip was enjoyed is putting j
mildly. After the game coffee ant
sandwiches were served in the bus
Mr.. Anderson furnished two gallon
of hot coffee from vacuum bottles
the sandwiches were furnished by tn
Athletic Association of the Whit
Bluffs school and made by the stu
dents.
Next Friday evening the boys
team of Hover will play at Whit
