The Normal basketball teams met
and decisively defeated both high
school teams from Holbrook last Sat

curate at shooting baskets. The Lum-
beriills started off little slowly but
when the game ended the score stood
81 to 7 against the visitors. The Hol-
brook girls played a better game
against Normal than they did with
the. local high school, although the
score does not tell it. Effie Allsup
officiated.

played half the game and Gagged five
points. Camp, Nickers, and Jarvis
