That the climate OF the upper

INDOOR BASKET BALL
The First Game of the Season
Between the Yales and
Harvards.

A small, but enthusiastic audience
was at the Town Hall last evening
to witness the first basket ball game
OF the season between the re organ
lied teams, playing this year under
the names of Yale and Harvard.
The game was very close and ex.
ceedingly interesting to those pres.
ent, the score at the close being 8
to 8 in favor OF the Harvard team.
Several new faces were to be seen
in the lineup of the two teams, but
the playing suffered but little by the
presence OF the new players. True,
the team play of both sides was not
at all up to the standard OF former
years, but before the season is ended
that difficulty will be overcome.
The game was called promptly at
S:l5, the Harvard having won the
toss, chose the north basket. For
the first ten minutes the playing was
spirited and very even, the Harvard
finally gaining 1.-TWO points on o
throw by Lulu Blankenhorn; another
point was added moment later on
q free throw. The Yale team then
braced and soon started to score for
themselves, and the first half ended
with the score 3 to 2 in favor OF
Harvard.
The second half was FIVE minutes
shorter by mutual consent. The
playing inSthis half was also consid-
erably slower than in the first,
owing to the lack of condition, but
more scores were made on each side
and the final score was, as above
stated, 8 to 8.
The game was characterized by
frequent penalties for off side play
and holding due to over anxious
ness. The feature of the game was
the basket throwing of Mabel
Proctor.

THE TRIAL
Or ]. B. Indie Began Monday-All
Other Business Set Over Remainder
OF the Week.

The cases of the Commonwealth
against j. b. Indie and Elmer
Witherspoon, charged with kill
ing Jesse Burden at this place on
July 4 last year, was called Mon
day morning in Circuit Court.
The Commonwealth decided to
put Indie on trial first. The
defense made motion for a con-
tinuance on the ground that
some of their important witness
es were absent and that Judge
Dempsey, who is counsel for
Indie, was in Florida. The
Commonwealth admitted the af
fidavits as to what the absent
witnesses would state and the
court overruled the motion as to
the absence of Judge Dempsey
being material and appointed @.
j. Waddill as local attorney to
assist Hon. Jno. w. Lockett, of
Greensboro, who is counsel for
the defendant. The work of Sc
curing a jury began Monday
and will likely occupy several
days as only six juryman had
been secured Wednesday out of
venire of 240. 1t is not
thought the case against Elmer
Witherspoon will be reached this
term of court. There are quite a
number of witnesses to examine
on both sides and this case will
in all probability occupy the re-
mainder of this week and next.
