THE CHINOOK BREEZE 25 Athletics Basketball practice started Wednesday, November 21, with plenty of material. We have only two men who were on last year’s team, but have several others who were handicapped last year only by lack of weight and have now developed into speedy players.

Turn out to practice and you will learn the game, and even if you don’t make the first team, you will be helping the boys out. We have two games scheduled already, one with Shelby and another with Fort Benton. Shelby comes here Saturday night to see how badly we can beat them and we want everyone to buy a ticket and come. You will enjoy watching the game, and besides yoii will be helping the athletic association to pay their debt.

Chestnuts “Don’t you think, Marie, you are too old to play with the boys?” “No, mama, the older I get the better I like them.” McCarthy: “You say you are boss. Then who am I?” Provow: “Nothing, practically nothing.” Mark: “Get that? Boss nothing.” Think it over. Miss Dickey: “If anything should go wrong with this experiment, I and the laboratory with everyone in it would be blown sky high. Come closer, every one, so that you may be better able to follow me.” In the Physics class.—Miss Dickey: “Where is the body in the state of rest?” Student: “In the cemetery.”
