The Alliance basket ball squad finished third in the league standing this season with eight games won and three lost. Sidney won two contests from the Alliance five and Kimball annexed the other game. These two teams had practically the same line-ups as last year when they defeated Alliance in three games out of four. The local quintet had one regular and one substitute from last year s team. The other men were playing their first year of basket ball. Inc record made bv Alliance is far from poor when one is familiar with the facts. In onlv two contests were the five first string men in condition t„ plav. Joder was kept out of the first three contests with an injured foot. Beal took down with the influenza and missed two contests, rewards sprained an ankle, making it necessary to watch thiee games from the sidelines and Cusick was sick during the Bayard game at Alliance. Nevertheless,- eight victories were marked up for the locals while only three games were taken from them. There were no stars on the Alliance five. Each player was valuable in his own position and every man contributed his share tov arc the victories. Coach Prince deserves all the credit for the good showing made by Alliance. He was always on hand at practice, he instilled fight and “pep” into the team.

The Spud Page 17 IIHIIIIIIIIIIIIMIftlllllllllMlllllltllllllllllltflt Qirls’ wJlthletics In the early part of the year the inter-class Basket Ball Tournament was held. Each class had a team in the contest and behind each a loyal band of supporters. The first evening the Juniors defeated the Seniors. The second game between the lower classes ended in a victory for the Freshmen. The final scrap put the Junior girls the Champions. As soon as the class games were over the girls started in real practice for the League games, the first one being played January 9. As this was the first year of a girls’ league in Western Nebraska there were more games scheduled than usual. Out of the ten games we won eight. The two we lost were undoubtedly caused by an absent member from the team. We closed the season tying Scottsbluff for the Championship. None of the girls who played on the team this year graduate in the spring, so we are looking forward to another successful season.

A permit in the pocket is worth ten in the office. Many are called—but few get up. All you 7 :45s. A word to the wise is resented. Remember that when you talk to the Seniors. People who love in glass houses should pull down the blinds. Ignorance is bliss. The average freshman. There isnt often any excuse for an excuse. Never confide your secrets to a woman even tho you call her dove—she may turn out to be a carrier pigeon.
