r. III. S. CO-Ed Squads
Win From Williams

Flagstaff high girls and boys bas-
ketball teams easily won both games
from the William high teams at the
latter place Friday night-the girls
27-12 and the boys 29-16.
The girls game was hard fought
and the teams were more evenly
matched than the one-sided score
would indicate. In floor play they
were on par, but Flagstaff excelled
in basket shooting, the thing that
wins games. Williams had as many
chances as Flagstaff but made only
six. The guarding of both teams was
the feature, while the ability of Mil
dred and Millicent Meyer, Flagstaff
forwards, to make baskets was the
necessary advantage to win.
The boys game was slow and lacked
the fight that is usually shown in a
Flagstaff Williams affair. Both teams
played defensive game with slow
breaking offensive. Flagstaff worked
the ball through the Williams defense
for many close shots while the latter
was content to take majority of the
shots from the center of the court.
Captain Babe" Cameron was easily
the star of the game, both defensively
and extensively. Several times he in
tercepted Williams passes and drib-
bled half the length of the floor for
baskets. He made 18 Of his teams
points with seven field goals and four
free throws. Sheehan and Francis
were off on their basket shooting but
played good floor and passing game
Brinton and Prochnow kept the Will
liams basket well covered and the for
ner slipped up the court to make a
couple of baskets. Melick, Williams
center, was the mainstay of his team,
with 10 points, while Lebsch carried
the burden of the defensive until he
was removed on personal fouls in the
fourth quarter. Both teams substi-
tuted freely in the last few minutes,
Flagstaff using the entire squad of
IL players.
This was the final game for the
girls and also completed the regular
schedule for the boys until the north
ern Arizona tournament on March IL
and 12. With two weeks rest the
squad ought to be in good shape and
can be expected to make a creditable
showing in the tournament. Another
game may be arranged for some time
this week.

Tuba City was visited by a hail and
rain storm, accompanied by severe
electrical disturbances about 6 p. m.

In 1922, Guy Wilson of Bethel, Yer
mont, bought an area Of 120 acres Of
forest land at cost of $3.50. This
was decided to three trustees to be
dedicated to the purpose of timber
growing by boys. A boy may pay for
the trees at about $3.50 per thousand,
and receives certificate for his pur-
chase. At the time of maturity he has
right to cut the trees. He then pays
the trustees one per cent of the ex-
pense incurred by them, including the
proportionate amount Of the original
price of the land and the cost of pro-
lection figured at five per cent. In
fifty years, the initial investment of
the boys per acre, plus cost of setting
trees, payment Of trustees, ETC., will
amount to about $40. 1t is estimated
that the plantation should then be
worth approximately $500 per acre.
Fifteen boys have already planted 30,-
600 trees under this plan. Here is an
instance where very small invest
ment pays very large dividends in
benefits to future generations.
