ment of the loan in installments, the

The Grange opened promptly with
Master Mclean in the chair and with
but three officers absent, the assistan,

A splendid address on the life of
Abraham Lincoln was delivered at the
high school last Friday afternoon by
Judge M. S. Driscoll of Pasco. Mr..
Driscoll devoted a good part of his
time to a discussion of that part of
Lincoln's life not familiar to many peo-
pie of the present day and the adj
dress was particularly interesting on
that account In addition to the high
school students, the address was en-
joyed by number of the valleys
older residents. Judge Driscoll was &C
companied to White Bluffs by Deputy
Sheriff James Shepherd.

White Bluffs Hoopsters
Win Crucial Game

Well it's all over but the shouting
and most of that took place at the
White Bluffs gym, Friday night when
the White Bluffs Eagles swooped down
on the unfortunate Hanford Whippets,
and thereby won the right to repre-
sent this county at the tournament in
Yakima, February 26 and 81.
The local team took the floor, and
with their passes going true and the
basket taking most of their offerings,
they romped the score up to Is points
at the half time, while Hanford gath
cred 2.
AS the second period progressed, the
Hanford team shifted players and with
a much stronger offense made a SER
ious threat at the lop-sided score. The
closing minutes of the game brought
scare to all the White Bluffs fans,
but as the final whistle sounded the
score stood 1928 in favor of the
Eagles.
Albert Barnes pulled a muscle during
the game and SO hated to leave the
battle that he finished the fracas on
his painful leg. Emil Wagner and
Chuck Scovel turned in fine accounts
of themselves by making their at
tempts good and handling the ball in
fine fashion Tom Wade and Ray
Walker held the fast breaking Hanford
team down from the guard berths and
managed to make themselves very con-
spicuous when Hanford threatened the
basket.
Officials-Jack Mclaughlin, referee;
McConnachie, umpire. Timers, Young
and Murray. Scorers, Becht and Day
ton.
The girls team have record to be
proud of also, by virtue of their win
from the Hanford girls They have
had but one defeat against them in
the conference games this season, plac-
ing them on par with Richland.
In the game with Hanford last Fri
day they showed real power, and with
fouls claiming some of their players,
managed to tie the score at 1920 as
the game ended. In the overtime per-
iod the local fems came out and made
8 baskets while Hanford converted one
free toss. Final score, 36 to 81.
Officials-McFee, referee; Mansfield,
umpire. Scorers, Dayton and Scovel.
Timers, Murray and Shinn.
The faculty and students wish to ex-
press their appreciation and satisfac-
ton to John McFee, who has con-
tinued to referee our girls games thru
out the season absolutely gratis. That's
real support and we appreciate It.,
