Falls City has met all six schools, winning ten games, and losing two, giring us a percent of 833. f "Independence has played but eight games in the county, win ning: sis and. losing two, giring her. a, percent of 750. "Tbera arc, two reboots which Independence did : not meet, nor, according to signed statements by the superintendent of each school, even try to get games scheduled with, preferring to trarel outside the county and go after "bigger fish"; but' we should not be pun ished for their failure to meet all the teams in the league. "Furthermore, Wednesday's ar ticle states that Falls City failed to show up for a game. ""In answer to this I will say tlutt date was set for Monday, March 1. while Mr. Patton, the Falls City superintendent, was at T2UP ' When yoa plan your trip ; to the Orient; be sure to , have Canadian Pacific lit- erature.
