LOCALS TAKE DRUBBING

Tuesday night the High School
basketball team took a trip to
Swanville to play their opening
game of the season. It wasn't at
all surprising to find the boys came
home on the short end Of a one
sided score, "a to 6. Although the
score was rather lopsided in ap-
pearance 1t wasn't the only thing.
The baskets hang at a rather pc
culiar angle and the beams were al
together too close to the floor.
Considering the local boys had
position and handled the bali
their share Of the time but did not
have the knack Of missing those
beams, the defeat wasn't as bad as
1t might sound.
Friday night at 500 o'clock the
locals will make their first bow of
the season to the home folks by
meeting Upsala at the Junior High
School Auditorium. Everyone is
coming. Admission 10c, zoe and
25c.
