TULSA EAGLES
TO PLAY HERE
ON JANUARY l

! The Tulsa Eagles, professional
/ basketball team from Oklahoma, will
! play a game of basketball in Douglas
! on the evening o2 January 4. This
| team is scheduled to make a tour of
eight states, playing % games, five of
which are against state university
teams and the balance against strong
athletic club quintets. Last week the
Tulsa hoopsters won two games against
strong Oklahoma teams as practice be-
fore starting their tour OF the south
west and the Pacific coast.
The Tulsa team boasts Of the fastest
players now playing the hoop game in
the persons of Dyke" Carter, said to
be the fastest player on basketball
floor. His running mate, "Chief James,
la full blooded Cherokee Indian, is also
a member of the team. The rest of the
personnel is about as good and have
been gathered together from the COLI
leges and schools Of Missouri and Ok
lahoma for this tour.
The fans of the city will have
chance to see the best brand of basket
ball that is played in the county, as
ball that is played in the country, as
Fratts Of Denver, Colo, who were run
ners-up in the national tournament.
This team also defeated the Hiilyards
of Kansas City, who won the tourna-
ment in 1925.
TO oppose this team the best hoop
artists in the city are asked to don
the suits and practice. At least 10
eligible players will be in uniform to.
play at least a part of the game.
Interest in basketball among the
town boys is increasing, as no high
school boys will be eligible to play
against this team without losing their
amateur status. Coach Harry b. War
rem of the local high school team will
play with the city team against the
Tulsa invaders.

SPRING WATERS
DRAW SPIRIT
OF THE INDIAN

THERMOPOLIS, Wyo., Dec. "a (P.-
The Big Horn hot springs, among the
largest in the world, are a favored
haunt of the Great Spirit and possessed
of miraculous powers, if old Indian
myths are to be believed.
Today large numbers of Shoshones,
Arapahoes and Crows camp in num-
ibers near the springs, invoking the aid
of the Great Spirit in ridding them of
their ailments. They also believe these
waters will bring them protection
against evil.
Source of Rituals sra
Harry Lange, an old Indian fighter,
recently visited the springs and re-
called that SO years before he, as a
member of scouting party with cav
airy detachment guided by Arapahoes,
had crossed the Big Horn, at the pres
ent site of Thermopolis. Before the
Indians would proceed, Lange said,
they threw themselves into the pools
below the big spring and went through
religious rituals They urged the SOL
diers to do likewise, declaring the
waters were blessed by the Great
Spirit and that bathing in them would
ward off evil.
A legend almost as old as the Sho-
shone tribe itself says that back in the
beginning of things Ishawooa, chief
who ruled all the Indians of this sec
tion. alone knew of the springs and
visited them annually thus Keeping
his power and health But when old
age finally came he directed his braves
to take him to- these waters and allow
him to die in them so his spirit would
be blessed by the Great Spirit.
Chiefs Heir Made Strong
Ishawooas only son, Wapiti, was
wealSling who apparently would never
be able to assume his fathers leader
ship. But as he died Ishawooa con-
fided to Wapiti the secret of finding
the Great Spirits favor by bathing in
the. hot springs. 1t was thus that
Wapiti became strong and eventually
an even greater chief than his father.
Generations later the great Sho-
shone chief, Washakie, submitting to
the advance of the paleface, ceded the
Big Horn hot springs to the United
States and the state of Wyoming on
condition that portion of their waters
be reserved for free use by the weak
and sick of both peoples.

FINE PAGEANT
PRESENT ted BY
GRADE SCHOOL

One of the best arranged Christ
mas programs of the season was
shat presented by the pupils of the
grammar school on Thursday after
noon. This program was in the
fcrm of a play called Kings of
Nomania' and one of THE most IN
teresting features of the show was
that it was presented in the patio
at the grammar school. The patio
makes a beautiful setting for almost
any sort of performance and in
addition permits a very large mum !.
Der of school children witnessing the
scenes.
In this play there We're IA char.
acter roles, all of which, required
care and diligence for their proper
depletion. In addition there were a
number of groups and ensembles
which required drilling of the young
actors and actresses. The very clever
work of the young people through
out the rather unusual play speaks
well for their teachers, who must
have spent many hours in patient
drilling and coaching in order to
