isitors this year. Last year the Her
miston boys' team challenged the Mil
ton team for the championship of the

A week from tonight the local teams
ill meet the Walla Walla teams in a
double header on the Walla Walla floor.
Although the Walla Walla girls team
has changed since last year, and is not
considered as strong, an interesting
game is expected.

33 to 7, and tho Walla Walla boys 46
33. Although the Athsna girls were

Waitsburg girls proved to be too fast
for the locals, and by excellent basket

boys were ahead, which proved that
they were putting jp a good 6ght; but
when Booher, the star of Athena's
offense, was hurt the Walla Walla
team trampled on the Athena boys.
