Oregon Historical Society JACKSONVILLE, JACKSON COUNTY, OREGON, NOVEMBER 20, 1909 BASKET BALL 41 Jacksonville High School Plays Basket Ball At Ash land—Both Games Won By Ashland. Last Friday night both of our high school basket ball teams were defeated in hard played games at Ashland. The girls played a team picked from the Ashland High School and the Pre paratory College. Three of these are old players, having played from three to five years on different teams. In the face of this, on a strange court, and in the first game away from home our girls played a good game. They are good losers. They held on to the very last, playing ball every minute. The score was 18 to 6 for Ashland. The boys team was out-classed. For a minute or two our boys got into the game and scored three baskets, but the Ashland boys pulled themselves to gether and our boys spent a lot of time looking for the ball which they usually found in their opponents basket. We learned a lot of new things about basket ball. We find our boys lack team work and are too slow in passing the ball. We expect to play these teams in Jacksonville in the near future and we hope to make different looking scores. SCHOOL NOTES E leventh G rade , Editors The teachers and pupils greatly re gret the absence of Miss Neil who is confined to her home with scarlet fever. Her pupils have been dismissed until next Monday when Miss Leia Prim will take charge. The Teachers Sewing Club, composed of the following teachers, Misses Wright, Lewis, Gillette, Neil, Elmer, Donegan and Prim, met at the home of Miss Donegan Saturday evening. This being their first meeting, only a small amount of sewing was accom plished, after which light refreshments were served, The student body will meet Friday. The reports of the appointed com mittees on organizing a glee club, or chestra and literary society will be heard. The school greatly appreciated the lecture on Education given by State Superintendent Ackerman, Sunday night, in the Presbyterian church. Last Friday thirteen of the high school pupils together with Mr. and Mrs. Joy left for Ashland to meet the Preparatory School in basket ball. Both teams were defeated but they didn’t seem to mind it. They all report fair treatment and a splendid time. It is hoped that a series of games between the two schools may be arranged. Scarlet fever has made our school look rather small, over fifty percent of the pupils in the lower grades are out. Banconi Reports. Correspondence to the Post. C. C. Pursel was in the city recently.
