FEBRUARY, NINETEEN TWENTY-SEVEN 11 TOULON AT WYOMING Toulon suffered defeat, by a score of 30 to 13. Both teams at the start of the game showed speed, and plenty of it. It looked as if the game was to be close, and that the team that was to be the victors had to fight and fight hard to win. During the first part of the game the scores were about even and the spectators were eagerly watching. Some of our players were put out on fouls and the game turned, it was all in Wyoming’s favor. At the end of the game the score was 30 to 13 and the Wyoming five carried away the honors. TOULON SECONDS AND WYOMING SECONDS AT WYOMING The Toulon Seconds won from the Wyoming Seconds by a score of 17 to 15. This game was very interesting and also showed speed and two teams were competing that were evenly matched. From the time the game started till the finish it was close, and thrilling. But when the final whistle blew the T. H. S. seconds were the winners over the W. H. S. seconds. iiiiiiiiBiiaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii:iiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiriiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiB4iiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiii i i VaurneHy n§ ttftn© §p £© Lnffe ■ I I ■ ■ I'llllBI ■ilBillMllllllBi:i::B::B!

10 FEBRUARY, NINETEEN' TWENTY-SEVEN GALVA AT TOULON Toulon opened the basketball season by beating Galva 13 to 7. When it came time for the game to start both teams were on the floor eager for the battle to start. Both teams knew that they would have to fight hard to win, and they were determined to be victorious. The first quarter was fast and the scores were one sided because both teams looked too evenly matched. The second quarter was similar to the first and both teams played their best. The third quarter was much like the first. Both sides made about the same amount of points. Both teams then began to put their surplus energy into the game. Then the final quarter came. Both teams put all their pep and vigor into the game, because they were determined to win. And when the final whistle blew, the T. H. S. basketeers were the victors by a score of 13 to 7 over Galva. GALVA SECONDS AND TOULON SECONDS AT TOULON The curtain raisOr was a one sided game in which the T. H. S. seconds handed the G. H. S. seconds a defeat of 26 to 0. This game was uninteresting to the spectators because there was not much competition. At the beginning of the game the Toulon Whites began to walk away with the Galva seconds and kept up their gait all through the game. Galva got a few free throws but were unable to score. At the end of the game the score was 26 to 0 in Toulon’s favor. THE SENIORS AND UNDERCLASSMEN On January 10, previous to the game with Alexis, a basketball game was played between a team of Seniors and a team, from the Junior, Sophomore and Freshman classes. This game was not fast and exciting but it furnished lots of laughs for the spectators. Neither team had any stars but just the same they enjoyed their fun. It looked as if it was going to be a close game because at the half the score was 3 to 0 in the Seniors’ favor, but at the close of the game the score was 11 to 0 in the favor of the Seniors. There was not a Senior on the team that did not make at least one point. ALEXIS AT TOULON Toulon suffered defeat, handed them by the Alexis five. The score was 18 to 11. This game was a fight between two teams that are old rivals on the basketball floor. During the first three quarters of the game Toulon was in the lead by just a few points. This game showed speed and brain work on both sides, and neither team was sure of winning. During the last quarter the visitors outplayed the T. H. S. boys and when the game was over the score was 18 to 11 in favor of Alexis.

A look alone can’t express it, Nor hundreds of smiles, nor tears; I wouldn’t trade it for treasures That kings have hoarded for years. For friendship means song and laughter And treasures and tears, perhaps, too, But, pal, though I never express it, I’ve anchored my friendship in you. Rapid Talking Old Lady—“How do you charge for oranges? How much are those lemons? How deep is that river? What time does the next train start?” Poetic Storekeeper—“Two for a nickle, three for a dime, up to your neck and half past rune.”
