They keep studentsof. different schools in touch with each other. A school can be Judged by its team. The team is what the school makes it. There are two apparent purposes of a game-first, to see .Wl1'lCh-LtB3m- can make the highest score, the other, to see which student-body can make the most noise-so that all take part in the game. When games are played at Murray, our sideliners are always successful. The girls of our school take an active part in athletics. They have some star basketball shooters and a couple of baseball teams which have had a wonderful success during the entire season. However, they never play outsiders. Character building and keeping the body in a strong healthy condition are important factors that can be achieved through athletics. A good athlete must work his hardest during the entire game. He must have confidence in his team. He must be big enough to take a few knocks without getting sore, and not get downhearted when theoscore is going the wrong way. A team of such players is a good one. ' Teaming must not be omitted. This teaches the boys to work together. Not only in games is this necessary, but all through life. The men who stand together and fight together are the men who win. A' game is one place where boys must work together. Endurance, a factor of great importance all through life, is stimulated greatly by athletics. Our nation at the present time wants men who are strong, healthy and able to endure hardships. A large percentage of the men who are filling these places are those who have been active in athletics. It is therefore advisable for every boy to get in and do his level best, whereby he will build up his character, his body and his school. The Murray High School basketball squad made a trip to the Basketball Tournament at Logan this year. The games played were between the Branch A. C., Box Elder .High, Tooele High and Brigham Young High School. . We witnessed three nights of high class basketball and because of a tie the deciding game had to be played on Saturday. The Branch A. C. returned victors in this game, thereby winning the state high school cham- pionship. A A During our stay in Logan we visited the different departments of the school and learned much to our advantage. We also attended one of the A. C.'s rousing rallies, where we got our first glimpse of college spirit. The last day of our stay was marked by the big banquet given in honor of the visiting teams by the Domestic Science girls of the A. C . , We wish to thank the Student Body for the financial assistance in sending the team to the tournament, as the social and intellectual benefits derived from such a trip are very beneficial.
