This is the first time within the history of the local high school that they have been able to defeat Nezperce at basketball, Big Feature. Ancther feature, and one that was enjoyed was the yelling of the high school body under the leadership of their yell leader, Burdette Belknap. Between helf they took possession of the! S. basket ball floor and for about {ten minutes entertained the | crowd pr ent with their high school yells which brought forth much applause. The high school spirit as well as the spirit of the town in general is exceptionelly keen this year. Grangeville Tonight. The Cottonwood boys will play Grangeville tonight at the coun- ty seat and the outcome of the contest will be watched with great interest here. Cottonwocd defeated Grangeville two weeks ago on their local floor. A large number of persons will aceompa- ny the high school hoys to Grangeville tonight. Royally Entertained. The girls of the high school gave a dinner immediately after the game Friday evening in hon- or of the Nezperce team. Satur- day at 5 o'clock Mrs. R. A. Nims gave a dinner at her home in honor cf the Nez erce and Cot- tonwood boys. The Nezperce boys were loud in their praise for the hospitaliy shown them as visitors in the city and while defeated they had a warm spot in their hearts for Cottonwood. Going Through the “Hoop.” Did you ever see Fred Simon excited? We did Friday even- ing. Barney Seubert is to be given credit for one basket. While standing almost in the middle of the hall, Frank holding the ball was undecided what to do with it when Barney yelled “shoot it.” To his surprise it turned out to be a perfect basket. Sure we all saw Edward Hen- nessey going home via the short- est route after the game. Ed lost a few malted milks on the first basket. To date all of his bets have been paid. At one time it looked like Rus- sel Kendall and John Johann were acting in the capacity of umpire and referee. A little ex- cited that was all. When it comes to yelling and jumping we believe the first prize should be awarded to some of our school teachers. They surely did their share. The talk of the town has been “What will be the outcome of the game with Grangeville?’ We rapt we are going to win. With sore throats galore after the game Friday evening. never- theless who ever saw a happier bunch. The Nezperce boys were good loosers and not one word of com- plaint was heard from them af- ter the game. Big women, little women, all alike did their share of the noise making during the game. “To which class do I belong’’ asked the editor’s wife. To the little ones of course was our reply. The refereeing of John Wag- ner was entirely satisfactory to all and the game proceeded with only one interruption. Mr. and Mrs. William Simon and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Simon gave a family Christmas dinner party of 18 covers at the William Simon home, Tuesday evening.
