Show HIGH SCHOOL ACTIVITIES OF REALINTEREST MILFORD BOYS AGAIN" WALLOP MURDOCK TEAM: "Twenty-five to twenty in favor of Milford," was the joyous news given out by the score keeper at Tuesday's game between the Milford high school basket-ball team and the Mur-dock Mur-dock athletes when the final whistle announced that all was over. The game was fast and furious from start to finish and both sides displayed considerable stores of basket-ball knowledge as well as the fact that they have devoted themselves honestly to their training train-ing and practice. Beaver commenced strong, capturing captur-ing the first basket. From then on the first half was nip and tuck, but Beaver seemed to have a little advantage ad-vantage and things looked rather blue for the local team. The first half closed with the score standing S to 5 in Murdock's favor. Nobody knows what Coach Davis did to his boys between halves, but they sure came back strong. They grabbed three baskets before the visitors seemed aware that the game was on again. Both sides settled down to hard work then, and many flashes of stellar ball were evidenced regularly. Murdock played hard, but to no avail. The game was all to Milford. The Beavers made one grand spurt toward the end of the game, but it was of too short duration dura-tion they couldn't come back. Chesley and Byron Snow were the undisputed lights of the visiting team. Both boys played excellent games and showed much promise as future champions. C. Snow's foul pitching was phenomenal, he counting count-ing seven-out of ten trials. B. Snow tossed four of the six field baskets that Murdock scored. Pearce as guard also proved his ability throughout the game. Much Is due him for-the way he kept down the Milford score. Stanley Tanner and Spence Schow both deserve unmitigated credit for their work through out the game particularly during the second half. Bond at center displayed much good form and judgment and had little difficulty in keeping his opponent in bounds. Miller played a very superior super-ior game at guard and seemed to be all over the floor at once and considerable consid-erable credit is due him for keeping the ball near his own basket. White, at guard, also played fine ball and showed his usual consistent form. A big factor of the evening was the cheering on both sides, which was a big factor in keeping the Interest In-terest of those present at fover height. A goodly crowd" of Murdock supporters were in attendance and an even larger crowd of local fans. Miss Thelma Tanner, assistant cheer leader of the Milford school, deserves de-serves much of the honor for the spirited and enthusiastic cheering In evidence. . The Dixie Trip .

The Current History Course, for advanced students of history is rapidly rap-idly becoming constructive in its nature. na-ture. The aim now being worked toward is for each member of the class to write in editorial form his opinions on live questions of the day. Each week the best article handed in will be published in the Beaver County . News. There is every reason to believe that some interesting and original ideas will be given the News readers in that way. Already in class discussions and papers opinions of decided worth have been developed. It is, no doubt, a mistaken idea that there are only a few people in the country whose ideas and suggestions sug-gestions are worth being published. Many people have excellent contributions contri-butions that could be given the public pub-lic if the proper attitude were taken. In fact, real democracy depends on the frequent expression of opinions by lay members of the state, and expressed ex-pressed in such a way that the leaders lead-ers and officials will take cognizance. cogni-zance. If that attitude alone can be Inculcated into our students the course will have justified itself. Milford High School in State Debates "Resolved, That the State of Utah Should Adopt a Graduated Income Tax for the Purpose of Raising Revenue" Rev-enue" Is the proposition that has been selected for inter-high school debating in the State this year. The question is. live and certainly Is of vital concern to every citizen. Authorities Au-thorities on taxation have long held that the Utah tax system is one of the worst yet devised by a progressive progress-ive government and most taxpayers will no doubt confirm that idea. Therefore, some change is almost inevitable. in-evitable. But what features of the system shall first be attacked with the pruning knife and what new taxes substituted? Is a tax on larger incomes more just than a tax on real estate or other property? These and other questions must be an- swered by every worthy citizen in the near future. Why not keep in touch with our high school debating work by cooperating with us on the question and taking any valuable information in-formation that we may present? Definite plans for proceeding with the debate are rapidly being formulated formu-lated and the representatives for ourj school will be announced in the j near future. The division we come in embraces the high schools of: Washington, Iron, Beaver and Millard Mil-lard counties. Keen rivalry is anticipated an-ticipated both in the selection of our team and in the inter-srhool debates.
