NEW MEXICO UNIVERSITY
SLAMMED TWO GAMES on
OUR FIGHTING TEACHERS

The University Of New Mexico
basketball team defeated the North
crn Arizona Teachers college in both
games of the two game series last
Friday and Saturday nights. The
bumbeTjacks succeeded In making the
first basket in each contest but that
is about the only time that they were
able to retain the lead against the
superior playing ability Of The Lobos.
The game Friday night was the
better. At the close of the first half
the score stood 1912 ia favor of the
Lobos. The second half The Lobos
opened up and scored IA points while
the Teachers were let down with but
seven, and the game ended 26-17. Tho
game was far from being dead and
the crowd was interested from start
to finish.
Saturday night was different
story. The Lobos seemed to have be-
come familiar with Inc court and the
Lumbeyiacks' style Of play for tbey
easily Gagged the ball from any angle
of the court. The ability With which
the New Mexico players shot the ball
in this game was uneanny, it seeming
to leap from their hands into the bas-
ket. The Lumberiacks, however,
missed many sure" shots and seemed
to have lost heart after the defeat of
the evening before.
The final score was New Mexico
81, N. A. I. G. 16.

The decision not to hold court was
made in a conference between Judge
j. K. Jones, County Attorney Frank
Harrison and attorneys interested in
the various cases that had been set
for trial When it developed during
the last few days that in all the Grim
inal cases but one now pending the
defendants were ready to plead guilty
and make trial unnecessary, attention
was turned toward the civil cases on
the calendar to learn how many of
them might be postponed or,
perhaps, settled out of court. Then
it developed that there was no real
need for trial. This will save the
county quite a lot Of expense.
Bill Lawrence Of Williams, who had
been in Jail several months charged
with assault with a deadly weapon on
Dink d. Smith Of Williams, plead
guilty Tuesday, and Judge Jones fin
