urnphed over the visitors, I5 to 9. Mary Fox and Marguerite Kinnick trade excellent baskets. February 26 the high school team contested the town team and won by a score of I9 to I. The older boys fought hard but it was evident that practice would have helped out. The two girls' teams played the curtain raiser, the first team defeating the second. March 5 our team played a return game at De Soto, the first game away from home. The girls won by a score of 26 to I5, but the boys were defeated by a score of 23 to ZI. On March I9 took place two of the most exciting games of the season, those with Minburn's teams. Their team 'was noted for its ability but our boys put up a brave fight. Storm made a number of free throws and Wright threw some excellent field baskets, but Adel lacked team work so Minburn won 33 to I3. Our girls were rather confused in the first half by the use of side centers and made little progress. These side centers were dispensed with in the second half, so our girls raised their points till time was called and the score was 8 to 9 in favor of Minburn. Mildred Beache's skilful guarding kept Minburn from making many baskets. The season closed March 26 with games with Linden. Our boys won by a score of I9 to I6 and our girls by a score of I3 to 6. Our season was short, owing to the unfavorable conditions for laying the floor in our gymnasium, but we have a good start and next year hope to have two winning teams.
