3s. a ICAL BOYS DEFEAT KOOSKIA COTTONWOOD B. B. TEAM ‘CONTENDER FOR DIS- TRIC’ LEADERSHIP. Coach Westover’s high school basketball team won a notable victory Friday evening» when they defeated the strong Kooskia team in one of the fastest and closest games ever witnessed on the local fioor the score being, Cottonwocd 19, Kooskia 17. The ivictory Friday evening places Cottonwood in the front as a ‘contender for the district leader- ship. From the first whistle. soon after which Kooskia scored the first basket, until the end, the game was a hard, clean bat- tle, with the locals leading soon after the game began. After kooskia’s opening bas- } ket, the locals tied the score, and until the end of the first guarter, each team battled every second. Both teams were guarding and) neither team could boast of an infallible offensive. The locals converted gnother field basket and Kooskia made a goal from free throw, the quarter ending Cottonweat 4, Kooskis 3. In the second: guarter, both | teams unloosed a better offen- sive and Cottonwood scored 10 points and Kooskia seven, mak- ing the half end with Cotton-| wood leading 14 to 11. I the third quarler Kooskia was. held scoreless, while the locals made a point by a free throw. In the last quarter, the visi- tors unloosed some clever offen- sive work but the local guards broke up their plays, returning the ball and scoring themselves. Kooskia outscored the locals this quarter 6 to 4, but they could not overceme the lead Cotton-| wood nad piled up. For the visitor Kyie was the | outstanding player. He not only scored five of his team’s NO REMEDY KNOWN. Carl Cosand, who has a first class radio receiving set in his home and has on different oc.} casions listened in on the pro-, grams broadcasted by the Gen. | eral Electric company at Schen- etady, N.Y. , one’ of the most powerful broadcasting stations | in the’ United’ States recently | wrote the company that he was | receiving their programs. but that at different times he was troubled with what is known as ‘fading out.” The term used by radio fans means that what is being received will be clearly | heard for a minute or so and then suddenly the receiving set fails to. connect for some un- known. reason with stations broadeasting. In regard to this matter the | General Electric company made | the following explanation to Mr. Cosand in a letter he recently re- | ceived from them. . | “The fading effect will vary.| from time to time and will also | vary with the character of the | country between the stations. | There is no known method of avoiding this difficulty.” JONHSON IS past two pide see ene int neta 98s tN ERS TURKEY’S APPETITE FOOLS MANY OF THE GUESSERS.
