Yes, the boys they went to Bushnell: To win, they all were keen. The score was as they wanted it-- Just twenty to sixteen. Yes. the boys they went to Bushnell With their hair cut pompadour, And that is the reason Bushnell Cou1dn't get a bigger score. Our boys they went to Bushnell To win laurels for the school. They made the baskets in good style -Their heads were ever cool. The boys came back from Bushnell, Bringing with them victory- That we are proud of the game they played, I'm sure we'll all agree.-V.

To work hard and risk injury for the honor of the high school is an un- questioned evidence of loyalty but the thrills of the fight and the praises of rooters offers some reward. To undergo the same rigorous training in order that another team may win lalrels must indeed reveal a high type of school spirit. The Scrubs were always on hand, to buck the regulars or to sub as required. Take it from us, they are future stars. The Second Team played two match games, both with Colusa. H. S. The fiigst one was held here Dec. 2nd. Our suburban village sent over a fast team and it was anybody's g une until the finish. The final score was 11 to 8 in our favor. I'he second game was held under very poor conditions. The Colusa floor was small and dimly lighted. The boys got 4 points to ther opponents 14. D. C. H. S. 21 Pence Button Works 6 On Dec. 9th the High School and Buttons mixed. The game was somewhat rough but it was good toughening ex- perience for the boys. Unfortunately Carper received a sprained thumb. D. C. H. S. 19 L. Burg Carriage Co..3 The High School quintet met the Burgs on Dec. 13. - This fracas was practically a repetition of the Button game. with the students again first best. This game presented a peculiar example of father against son. Gene Baker of the Burgs was pitted against his son Willie of the High School. ' Q 9 A N .9 lcmlq 41 .n , 3 Lt fllh P f , iii J . 5 .

Here they met a one man team. Tulin, the Knoxville captain was the whole thing and scored 45 of the 59 paints. This was the only game in which Dallas City was really out- classed. The floor was so small that the shifty basket tosser of K. H. S. could not be held down. Without him the Knox- villians would have been easy picking. D. C. H. S. 25 D. C. H. S. Alumni 27 The joys of Christmas served to counteract the sadness of defeat, and on Dec. 26th the Honorable Alumni were tackled. The Old Grads demonstrated their mastery of the game and took the measure of our youngsters in a manner befitting their superior wisdom. The team was practically the same in personnel as the High School squad that estab- lished somewhat of a record in 1908-9. Of course this defeat is not particularly regretted since it is all in the family. D. C. H. S. 19 Carthage H. S. 34 The Erst game with the county-seat team was played the afternoon of Jan. 2nd. At the end of the first half the teams were neck and neck. The score was 13 to 12 with the slight advantage in favor of Carthage. In the second act the ad- vantages of the home floor had a telling effect. Carthage tightened up and we received our third successive drubbing. D. C. H. S. 29 Galesburg H. S. 30 The most exciting yell feast of the season was held Jan. 13 in the local joy house. Galesburg sent down a husky five that would have made a good twin for our fast-developing offspring. At the end of the first spasm the count stood 18 all. In the second first one and then the other registered a point. Time was called just at the wrong time ffor usl and the victory was theirs by one basket. D. C. H. S. 21 LaHarpe H. S. 31 On Jan. 20th the Red and Black quintet journeyed to LaHarpe to take revenge for the defeat earlier in the season. The bubble, however, was doomed to burst. In team work our boys greatly surpassed the LaHarpers but could not, for some reason. make connection with their wobbly baskets. The game was fast, with little questioning of the referee's decisions. D. C. H. S. 22 Carthage H. S. 29 The second game with Carthage was played on the home floor Feb. 3rd. Our team was greatly weakened by the loss of both forwards, Highfield and Capt. Chandler both being dis- qualified by the monthly exams. The dopsters had us beaten by big scores and the rooters were pleased to see the boys make such a good showing under unfavorable conditions. D. C. H. S. 19 Knoxville H. S. 28 The final contest of the season was played on the home grounds March 3rd. The team showed wonderful improve- ment since their first battle with Knoxville. The visitors. were held to a hard fight making a very spectacular gamet Tulin, the Knoxville captain, was by far the fastest man mes this season and the only very difficult individual for our guard to handle. , f . 0 awk-ft
