MORPHY-MRCLAY
DEFEATS TOWN
Last Thursday night ft« Morphy
Maclay basketball team, leaden of tee
Crest Falls city league, reinforced by
Chase of tee A & M. Co. team, de
feated the Belt town team by a score
of 25 to 22.
Before the game, which was refer
«ed by West of the high school faculty,
it waa decided between the teams that
fouls should not be called too closely.
Consequently there was checking and
holding on both sides throughout the
game. There were displays ef ill
temper and some unneccessary rough
ness on the part of the visitors who
are all excellent players but who seem
to have failed to grasp the fact that
when they are playing the Belt ag
gregation they are playing a real
team. The Belt team has never re
fused to play any Great Falls team
on a Great Falla floor with a Great
Falla referee and unitor these condi
tions have alway* given a good
count of themselves.
ae
It was certainly a compliment to the
Belt team when the M-M's
Chase and played him as guard. His
points defeated the Belt bunch and
hto play was clean and classy through
Grady occupied the bench while
Perrins played center and was high
point man for the M-M's.
Evans was «mothered by Perrins,
Goesack played the floor and Filter

were passed, 171 of which originated
in the house snd 78 in the senate.

ised the fact that tea law gives the
constitutional right to members of

While to thousands ef persona
throughout the land, a salary of $10,
