Midvale 2nd Ward Loses Ball Game To Midvale 1st Quint Written for Journal by Le"is Dahl Last night at the Midvale Junior High School gym Miavale 1st ward defeated Midvale 2nd ward in a fast 7.1g1m1e of basketball by the score of 31 to 4:2. The teams played good ball but it appeared that the 1st ward was just a little too fast for their opponents. The score at the half was 21 to 17. It was the stellar playing in the last half of the game that won the game for the First Ward. In the last quart"': the 1s ward substituted four men and at this time the 2nd ward quint started a rally which threatened. With about three minutes to go, Coach Horne sent his regulars back 1n the game which was only to keep bis team out of danger. Griffith and Javme starred for the "' winners while no particular individual on the 2nd ward quint did any playtng that would deserve mention. Both coaches substituted regularly.

IN GIVL~G RETURN ADDRESS 0.1<' .£HAIL The regular semi-monthly luncheon of the Midvale Lions Club was held at the Midvale Junior High School on Thursday evening, February 7th, 1929. A record attendance greeted the president, Lion J. A. Alcorn. Lions Todd and Myers led the club in "snappy" songs and the Domestic Science class of the local schools under the directien of Miss Sutherland iierved another one of their excellent luncheons. Twenty members were present and answered the roll call. A unique feature of the roll call, conceived by: the club secreary, Lion C. I. Goff, was the response by each member when his nick name was called, giving a thirty second statement on what the Midvale Lions Club should do to assist in the boosting of our town and community. Several of the members attempted to advertise their wares, and were immediately fined for such contempt. Lion Hart spoke about usin~ beet sugar instead of cane sugar and Lion Cox said be was an insurance agent. Also, Lion Nicholson tried to tell the club that The Salt Lake Tribune was the largest newspaper in the Intermountain West. A motion was introduced and carried that a Ladies night be held on February 21st. A luncheon will be served at the High School building for the Lions and Lion Tamers and the Tamers will then take charge of the meeting and probably hold a dance following the luncheon. Lion Hansen stated that there are now 1084 Lions in District 28 and that twelve new clubs will be organ!zed during his term of officte, ending .
