' Wendell, 10, Rupert, 31 TWIN FALLS vs. RUPERT, at RUPERT, january 27 Again Rupert had a hard fight on her hands and although we lost, it was agreed that we played a good game and that the only thing that lost the game for us was Twin's reputation. This first defeat did the team good, but it came too late. . Tiwin Falls, 245 Rupert, 23 OAKLEY vs. RUPERT, at RUPERT, February 2 Another defeat for the Rupert quintet.

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 had aghard fighting, clean playing team and during the first five minutes of play the issue looked doubtful. But the Rupert quintet proved to be the best players and carried off the honors. - Jerome, 115 Rupert, 29 GOODING vs. HUPERT, at GOODING, December 29 This was the first time in two years that Gooding had put out an athletic team, and the game with Rupert was one of their first of the season. 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

R. H. S. THE COMET 1 9 2 3 1 1923 TRACK SEASON When the first call came for track candidates, only a few responded, but at present fApril 225, there is a good team reporting every night for practice. A class meet was held Alpril 13-Freshmen and Sophomores vs. juniors and Seniors. The Juniors and Seniors won, 57 to 58. T-here was a dual meet between Rupert and Burley April 20. Part of the program was omitted be- cause of the unfavorable condition of the weather, and the score was called a tie, but we feel that Rupert at least, very easily held her own. The district meet is to be held at Filer, April 27, the Southern Idaho meet at Caldwell, May 4, and state meet at Moscow, May 11 and 12. Our entries will be: Sprints, Long, Nelson, Neilsen. One-fourth mile dash, Burgher, Stone, Hyde. One-half mile dash, Stone, Hockaday, Hyde. One mile run, Brazeal, Hockaday, Ross. One-half mile relay, Nelson, Long, Stone, Burgher, Hyde. Broad jump, Long, Stone, Hyde. High jump, Burgher, Nelson, Hyde. .Pole vault, Mackrill, Stone, Nelson. Discus, Burgher, Anderson, Tubbs. Javelin, Catmull, Anderson, Tubbs. 1 Shot put, Catmull, Hoopes, Dubbs. Since the above was written the returns have been received from the Filer, Caldwell and Moscow meets. At Filer, Rupert tied with Twin Falls for first place with thirty-one points. Tlhe referee flipped a coin to decide the winner and we were fortunate enough to be awarded first place and the silver cup as first prize. At Caldwell our team took second place with thirty-one points to Boise's thirty-two. Long took more individual points than any other man entered. At Moscow we again took second place. Our total number of points was twenty-seven to Boise's thirty. Ralph Long was awarded the cup as highest individual point winner. We won the state championship in the relay, defeating our closest competitor by more than thirty yards. None of the team are Seniors and we shall expect great things from them next year. V ' Mr. Scheffel deserves especial credit for his work as coach. Page Sixty-One
