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.
Wo are withholding tho name until
a second olYeiiRO. Some very lino
points have been brought out In' fav
or of gum chewing.
