HIGH scHooLaTEAM VICTORIOUS.

Last Friday night an enthusiastic
crowd gathered at the Armory to wit
ness the first game of the Manchester
High school basketball schedule. The
game was one Of the fastest and most
thrilling ever played here. Manches-
ter boys winning over Independence
boys by the close score Of II to 16. z
The game was called shortly after
eight. In the first few minutes Of
play it was obvious the game would
be fast The Independence boys
outweighted our team some twenty
pounds per man. This handicap our
boys overcome by their speed. The
game was somewhat rough, but this
roughness was not due to unfair play
ing, rather it was due to the size Of
our opponents and the determination
with which both teams fought to win-
The first half closed with the score
to 8, in favor of the visitors. At
the opening Of the second half the
home boys entered into the fray with a
speed that completely overwhelmed
their opponents. They tied the score
before the Independence team
woke up. Then ensued most bril-
liant and exciting battle for victory.
The crowd went wild with the excite
ment, even the least concerned We're
seen heating each other on the back
and emitting yells that relegated the
Indian war whoop to the limbo OF
forgotten things. s2
The independence boys showed
themselves to be true sportsmen.
Their conduct on the basketball floor
as we'll as off of it, is deserving of
praise. te =. .ssa
AS to the local team too much can
not be said in their favor. Manches-
ter certainly has cause to take off
its hat to the home quintet. Our line
up was as follows:
Bert Pinch (Capt.) L. F., 2 goals;
Ralph Richardson, R. F., 1 goal; Ray
Wells, c. 2. goals, S fouls; Cecil Dut-
ton, L. G., goal; Carl Engstrom, r.

OF resisting an officer, an attempt

tempt to commit murder, appeared
tefore Judge Charles E. Ransier on
Wednesday and changed his plea OF
not guilty to guilty to the second
count. Sentence was withheld until
tomorrow, when Judge Ransier will
pass sentence on him. It will be re-
membered that Mertz, while being
placed under arrest for disturbing
the peace in his home vicinity on
Franklin street, last June, inflicted
injuries on Deputy Sheriff Pentony,
from which he has not recovered en-
tirely at this time. The resisting of
the deputy sheriff in June were the
grounds for the two former counts
brought against him by the October
grand jury. On August 16, Mertz at
tempted suicide. While physicians
and officers offered assistance he
attempted to. kill. Sheriff Hennessey,
inflicting an ugly wound in the Off
