In confidence full brimming did we hope That Del Norte with Miss Fortune might elope; But, ah, alas, our fortunes shattered were, And now Maroon and .White with many a tear, Bewails the dread mishap of Frida; eve; But staunch in both her teams she doth believe. Now, you who read this sad and drear lament, Repledge yourselves and give your full consent, To back to the last man Maroon and White, Whether in losing or in winning fight! SAM C. BLACK, Jr.

BASKET BALL TOURNAMENT AT DEI NORTE Del Norte was the scene of the first annual basketball tournament of the San Luis Valley, held Febru- ! ary 29 and March 1. Coach Kraus, | ! of Gunnison, acted as referee of all the games. A fair-sized crowd | came out for all the games, while standing room was at a premium during the last two encounters. The early contests went accord- ! ing to expectation, Center ' s and ! Monte ' s boys winning from Sargent and Hooper, with the results re- versed in the cases of their girls ' | teams. In the play-off between the winners of the first contest and Del Norte, Del Norte lost to Center, while the Sargent girls were on the short end of the score with the Del Norte girls. In the semi-finals the Alamosa girls won a hard fought game from Hooper, while the Alamosa boys were losers to Monte Vista. The finals were played between girls from Del Norte and Alamosa, and boys representing Monte Vista and Center. The Del Norte girls won after two extra periods had been played, and the Center boys won the championship by a narrow margin.
