To The Tribune: The Auburn iler uhl of lust week says that the Auburn High school extended a very pressing invitation to Falls City High school for a game of basket ball. The in vitation was reeleved on December 25th and was for December 29. The Falls City basket ball team had just returned from a trip and the boys were tired. Then, also, we had rented out our gym and had no place in which to practice, and I knew well that it. would be difficult to defeat the Auburn High School, with one of our best men off the team, and we would have to have some practice*. For those above reasons, and these only, did 1 refuse to play Au burn. Not once did the question of a “square deal” enter my head, for the ' manager of the Auburn High School basket ball teams had prom ised us all of our expcuses and to get an outsider to act as referee. 1 also know that all of the hard feel ing, between Auburn and Falls City, was not hard feeling between the Falls City High School and the Au burn High School, hut between the Auburn Herald and others outside of the High School. If the Herald stops its roasting, and all else goes well, the Auburn people will see the Falls City bask et ball team on Auburn's court, Sat urday. .lam.arc- 15. with A. .1. Dud den as referee, and ready for a good ch an game of basket ball. Yours truly. .11CAN CAIN, Manager F. C. ID S B. I!. Team. Referee’s Sale. RICHARDSON COUNTY DISTRICT COURT. .1 unit* R. U,' it*.
