One of our members is on the Annual staff and another is an officer in a literary society.

--2--THE CARDINALLA BASKETBALL llfACON COMMUNITY HIGH Scnoor. lhysscs Shephard, Captahz Luther Paxton Guard Guard WARRENSBURG, 165 ARGENTA, 30 We opened the season with Argenta. Our old rivals had been playing on the hardwoods for a month, and though they nearly doubled the score on us the count does not indicate the closeness of the game. ' WARRENSBURG, 163 LATHAM, 20 Our second game was played on Latham's floor. The 1923 district champions expected to make hash out of us. The Blue and White was so dazed by the light the Cardinals put up that they were barely able to eke out a win. WARRENSBURG, 215 MT. ZION. 23 The losing jinx was still with us when we met Mt. Zion on the local floor for the third game of the season. After leading throughout the contest our team dropped the game in the last minutes while attempting to stall. , WARRENSBURG, 93 WAPELLA, 11 NVapella, the highly-touted Dewitt County five, met and defeated us in our fourth game. It was a fast defensive contest, going into one overtime to decide the winner. Failure to take advantage of charity tosses cost us the game. WARRENSBURG, 173 CLINTON, 19 Clinton's fast-traveling quintet was forced to play two overtimes before they could down the Harpers. Clinton got all of their field goals from near the center of the floor. This game speaks for the team's ability, as Clinton beat Decatur three days later. WARRENSBURG, 105 KENNEY, 19 Mr. Harper was called home and could not accompany his team on this trip. The boys were off on their shots. connecting only three times in fifty-five attempts. -28- 'J c
