NEARLY 100 Missouri, Kansas

never heard Of the Box immigration
bill until they reached the King

which ended recently.
IL was at the King ranch that they
were first told of il. Matter was
brought up BY one Of the Klebergs
In the course Of a speech.

bill, largely for diplomatic reasons.

Last night the Juneau Hi Sopho- more class lest to the Senioys in basketball game played in the school gymnasium The score was 15 to 19 The Sophs lost after a furious tussle due to poor strategy and a weakening of both offense and defense in the last quarter. Losing last nights game they lost their chance to play in the interclass finals. The Sopho- more scoring was done chiefly by Hurley and Nelson while Jenson was high man for the Seniors, scoring seven points.
 The Seniors started with their subs, later filling in with the vet eran players who had practically played on the regular squads last year. During the last quarter the Sophomore team became wild and there was a lot of tossing the ball at imaginary baskets. The Senior team worked smoothly. due largely of course to their being an older and more experienced team. The
