THE HOUSK DAKOTA CITY SCHOOL iNOTJ'.S J.' Irwin Long, Superintendent (Written by George Lahrs) Tho high school bnskotball team went to Walthill Friday and wero defeated by an overwhelming scoro of 42 to 10. Our team seems to ho a little slow compared with tho foot ball record, hut wo aro hpplng that our futuro games will bo of such a. kind that this one withering dofeat will ho overshadowed, so that It will ho looked back to os a child's gamo In which our team was unlucky. Tho gamo would not havo boon so one-sided If our boys had inado tho goals thoy throw for. It seolns as though tho baskets wore "hoodood," for every tlmo the boys throw goal tlio ball would bounce around thi basket and fall on tho outsido. A fine, fast gamo, however, was enjoy ed, and It is hoped our boys will strengthen themselves. Tho hoys' and girls' teams will go to Ponca Tuesday evonlng, where both teams will try tholr luck again at basket throwing. Tlio play Is progressing smoothly except that It Is coming at a very busy time. Tho classes are all pro p.ilrlng for tho somesterly examina tions, and aside from a few theses, A alt a dozen or more outlines, nix or seven written lessons and tho tostB mixed In, wo are not so ruBhed hut that several hours a week caiiibo spent on the play, Another gum theme wus a point of umusoniont tho first of this week.
