GILBERT BEATS
DOUGLAS 2l-2O

By the narrow margin of one point
the Douglas high school basket ball
quintet went down to defeat at the
hands of the fast Gilbert team, the
final score being 81 to 20. The To-
Gals started off with bang and
held 1914 lead over Gilbert at the
quarter, but rally In the second
quarter by the. invaders placed them
in 16 to 10 lead at the half. The
visitors seemed to strike their stride
and played brilliant game. Scott,
the alI-state forward, was dropping
them in from all angles and Cooper
was aiding materially in the team
work.
At the beginning of the third
quarter the Douglas boys started a
rally and before the session ended
had reduced the lead to 1915. In
the final quarter each team made
two baskets and the Douglas team
missed two chances from the foul
line, which would have placed them
in the lead The last five minutes of
the game was a fast passing attack.
The Douglas boys with Causey, Seeley,
Betty and Demon leading the attack
had several hurry-up shots but all
of them rolled off the rim. In a
last desperate attempt to forbe into
the lead, Causey and Seeley shot
from long range but lady luck failed
to come to their aid and the game
ended with the Gilbert boys holding
one point lead.
Van Antwerp used several substi-
tutes in the hope of starting a rally
but it failed to materialize except
for a few minutes iS the third quar-
ter. The Gilbert team played a much
better game than on the previous
night against Tucson and Bisbee.
according to their coach, who said
that from now on they will be heard
from on the state schedule.
The Gilbert team was slow getting
into action but improved with each
nights play. The Gilbert aggrega-
tion with the same boys won the
Salt river valley hampionshipship
last year. This indicates that the
tournament will be much more close
ly contested than in previous years.
The Douglas team opens the south
ern Arizona conference schedule in
Tucson on January Z.

10 DEGREES IS
TOO WARM FOR
HOCKEY GAMES

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S GA suit
to restrain George L. (Tex) Rickafd
and the Madison Square Garden corr
poration from allowing the tenn.
perature of the garden to rise above
40 degree while hockey games arc
being played there was filed today
by the New York Hockey club, opef-
ating the Americans, a national
league team.
According to the complaint, a
temperature above 40 degrees pro.
hibits the playing the game with
accuracy, neatness ard dispatch
and slows up the individual playing
causing the men participating in the
game to become sluggish and to lose
weight
T. B. German, manager of the
New York Hockey club, alleges
100000 investments in his club are
jeopardized because the games have
not come up to the usual speed thi'
year and consequently the crowds
have diminished. This he attributes
to high temperature.

YOSHIHITO YET.

TOKYO, Dec. %. -R - Uneasiness
aroused early tonight by an official
announcement that Emperor Yoshi-

The crisis passed, however. as many
others have done since his majesty
became i'll of pneumonia two weeks
