REARDAN WINS EXCITING GAME

Beats Davenport by One Point, 13-12—Pullman Downs Colfax in Sensational Finish.

REARDAN, Wash. Feb. 11.—Last night before the largest crowd ever assembled here to witness a basketball game, Reardan high school won from Davenport high in a 12-to-13 score.

The game was hotly contested from start to finish and the work of the guards on both teams was excellent. Sexson, Reardan's crack center, made eight of the 18 points for his team.

Reardan has been playing fast ball this year and another game will be necessary with Davenport in order to decide the Lincoln county championship, as each team has won one game from the other.

Reardan made eight fouls, Davenport 6, Referees—Putnam and Katon, Forwards—Reardan, Royner and Hanes; Davenport, Lothborn and Rowland; centers, Sexon and Schulte; guards, Reardan, Jackson and Cupp; Davenport, Miles and Davis.
