FAIR OAKS SCHOOLS.

Don’t forget the Lyceum Course Thursday night. A splendid program and oysters and other refreshments. Admission 25c and 50c. The basket ball team swooped down on the quintet at Reynolds Friday night and after one of the best exhibitions put up by the local lads, during which time Ogle and Woods displayed some real class in offensive play, making shots so close as to make one think the ball was bewitched, when, after rolling ajl around, would fail to drop thru the hoop like a properly trained ball should, and a defense, especially by young Robbins, a sub, that did credit to a veteran, came away with the wrong end of a 41 to 16 score. There was no time after the first half that the game was in doubt, in fact, we had no idea of winning when we went down, but from the beginning to the close, found the boys putting all they possessed into the game. Reynolds has a - fast clean bunch that has lost but one game in 15. They are a clean fair crowd that it is a pleasure to meet. The girls’ game, at this place Saturday night, with the Hebron girls, was a hummer from start to finish. The girls put up a fight bn both sides that is rarely surpassed in a boys’ team. The watchword of both teams seeming to be “Treat ’em rough,” and this was certainly car-' ried* out to the last word. The score 10 to-3 doesn’t indicate very aeurate shooting, but it was a game that had to be seen to be appreciated. h
