The Rupert boys began the season by a three day tour. They visited: Jerome, Gooding and Bliss. JEROME vs. RUPERT, at JEROME, December 28 Jerome felt confident of an easy victory.

They showed some good form and ability, but Rupert was victorious. Gooding, 5, Rupert, 33 BLISS vs. RUPERT, at BLISS, December 30' This game, played on a floor far under regulation size was not as inter- esting as had been expected. Bliss put up a game fight, but were unable to get the lead on Rupert. Bliss, 21, Rupert, 40 POCATELLOVS. RUPERT, at RUPERT, January 5 This was the first real difficult game of the season. The pep aroused among the students and the fighting spirit of the team won the game for us. The two teams used almost the same method of play and it was only a ques- tioniof who was the most fit. During this game some of the best basketball ever witnessed on the R. H. S. floor, was seen. Pocatello, '7 g Rupert, 13 Page Fifty-Nine
