Banket Ball Events.
Weston HI atacked up against one
of the very fastest basket ball teams
In the northwest, that of Walla IValla
HI. tn the Garden City last Saturday
evening, and the boys feel no disgrace
in being beaten by the overwhelming
score of 14 to 4. They say that the
spectacular speed and brilliant team
play or the Walla Walla bunch were
positively a revelation and they felt
privileged In witnessing it which waa
about all tbey could do. Weaton could
not negotiate a single field goal, losing
the two alight . chances they were
vouchsafed. Their four points were
scored from free throws.
Leland Richmond, a Walla Walla
forward, established a new record by
tossing IT field goal. nd waa closely
followed by H. Rich with K. This
same Walla Walla team had previous
ly beaten the fast "Y" five by a score
of 4 to I. and Athena HI by 7 J to t.
It wss a double header sffalr, and
the Weston girls fared better, losing
by 4 to 17. It la aald that they would
have a good chance to win over the
Walla Walla girls In a familiar court
Both teams report the most hospitable
and courteous treatment.
The Weaton girl have a game on
for tomorrow (Saturday) evening with
the Pendleton girl at Weston, and
thla Is expected to prove one of the
liveliest events ever witnessed here In
feminine athletics. . A basket social
will follow the contest, and a large
crowd is expected to attend.
