Kennewick lost her second game
of the season to Pasco last Friday
21-14. Kennewick seems to have
lost all the luck it ever did have,
for altho they outplayed Pasco on
the floor and went thru their de-
Tense at will the ball hit all around
the basket and went in only few
times. Pasco's scores came mainly
on account of slow work of our
guards. Pasco would have the ball
down the floor before the running
guard had started to go back on
defense.
The second team upheld the
honor of the school by defeating
Richards second team again 16-

way but Kennewick should have
won by much larger score.
