Show IMiford Hoopsters ! Lose To Beaver ! In Friday Game I Milford and Beaver high school hoop squads, traditional rivals j since the Beaver school succeeded the old Murdock academy, church I institution, tangled as league con-i con-i testants Friday night for the first time this season with the scrapping scrap-ping Milford Tigers coming out on the short end of a 25-13 score. With the Beaver players seemingly seem-ingly determined to play a deliberate delib-erate style of ball which would have become sadly monotonous to the huge crowd of fans present, the Milford players tried to in-I in-I ject some spirit into the contest i but their efforts proved their undoing un-doing and Beaver players were ! awarded nine free trials at the basket to three for Milford before the half was ended!

As it was, by the end of the first half the morale of the Mlford team had ! been badly impaired and the out-! out-! come was a foregone conclusion I even though the Milford players j were able to play the Beaver j fellows on even terms in the last ! quarter, with six points each. ' Milford people in large numbers were present at the game in addi-ion addi-ion to more than a hundred high 1 school students, evincing in un- mistakable manner the new and j steadily growing school spirit and spirit of cooperation between the i school and the community, even though the basketball team has been a consistent loser except for the one victory over Hinckley, j A colorful feature of the Friday night meeting of the two schools j and one that won the respect and j admiration of Milford and Beaver fans alike, was a demonstration by the Milford girls pep group. ; Nattily dressed in red and white i costumes and to the accompani-! accompani-! ment of a group of Milford high ' school trumpeters, the girls exe-i exe-i cuted difficult march and "B" and "M" letter drills that were ob- ( Continued on last page) o Milford Loses Game (Continued from first page.) served with rapt attention and greeted with hearty applause.

For that game Milford will be entitled entitl-ed to home town officials, with the calls likely to go to Dave and Mel Heslington, two of the outstanding out-standing officials of the Beaver-Millard Beaver-Millard division.
