THE HICH SCHOOL TEAM
TRIMS GRAYMONT-SUMMIT.
Last Friday afternoon the High
school team boosted their record for
the season by a victory of \2 to 9
oveT the Twin City team.
The fact that this was the second
game between these teams greatly
enhanced the interest and both teamj*
put forth especial effort. The score
of the first game was 16 to 14 in our
favor, and thus the victory gives us
two out of three games with this
team. The game was very close un
til near the end, first one team and
then the other being in the lead, but
our boys surpassed their opponents
in the last half of the game.
Peacock was the star player for the
local team and Me Bride also did some
sensational playing. Saffold and Her
ring also upheld their eputations as
| steady, safe players and Vann was
lan excellent guarJ. The co-opera
tion of our boys was-splendid.
It is not known whether the sea
son Is closed or not, but future an
nouncement of games will be made if
others are played.
