The Cottonwood high school lost a very exciting game of bas- ket ball Saturday evening to the Gifford team, the score being 20 to 22. Considering the differ- ence in size, the Cottonwood boys put up an excellent game. The Gifford boys outweighed the local boys by at least 20 pounds to the man and it was this sur- plus weight that won the game for them. Cottonwood in sev- eral instances played in hard luck, being exceptionally un- fortunate in throwing fouls. Every member on the Cotton- wooed team played his level best so we are going to refrain from mentioning any individual as the star. A large crowd witnessed the game. OBSERVE ANNIVERSARY.
