Some of the basketball girls, after
school Friday night, showed their
ability at art work in decorating the
assembly for Christmas.
well wipe Brook Park off the
map" This was the cheer given by
Askov preceding the boys game. They
evidently found this hard to do. The
game was similar to the one with
Isle. The Brook Park boys were
ahead through the first half, but were
defeated by one point. 1t was hard
fight on the part of both teams.
Askov's score piled up when they put
in substitute with instructions for
new play. The play proved success
full until the Brook Park boys became
wise through close observation. 1t
was too Late, their score had been
passed by one.
The Brook Park girls played a re-
turn game with the Askov girls here
Friday evening. The Askov girls took
the long end of the score, piling up
a victory of 50 to 6.
On Sunday, Dec. 20, the basketball
boys were given party by their
coach, William Scanlon. The party
was held at the Scotield home and
wonderful dinner Was served by Mrs.
Scofeld. The boys sang songs and
were amused by Superintendent Judin
and Mr.. Larsen, who sang in Nor
wegian. Some exciting games were
also played which helped to make the
afternoon very enjoyable.

Baseball Directors Seem
Opposed To Lifting
Assessment
MEETING MARCH 1

Whether Nogales will enter the
Arizona State Baseball League is
a matter that is very much in doubt
and probably will not be definitely
decided until a meeting of the lea

Nogales may enter the league if

assessment must be waived, Sd lar
as Nogales is concerned, if this city
is to join the league.
w. Sullinger Of Tucson, president
of the league, attended the We'd
nesday meeting and expressed him
self as being in favor of the as
sessment being eliminated Since
that time Sullinger has sounded out
the league directors and three ap-
pear opposed to Nogales' demand
and two are for it.
At the Wednesday meeting ap-
proXinately $700 of the $500 in
monthly subscriptions needed if this
city joins the league, was subscrib-
ed but no more subscriptions will
be sought, it is understood, until
Nogales knows definitely whether
the $3.50 monthly assessment is to
be eliminated. ~
Among persons and concerns

the Nogales club, if this city joins.
