the majority of the Virginia delegation. or all Of
it, will vote for him. Yet the fact that the Is
sue WAS made and that he was defeated in the
State OF his birth must tend to weaken him.
He is saved from actual defeat and disaster
By the fact that he has strong representation
among the delegates, including some OF his most
active and prominent friends. Mr.. Byrd, Tor
instance, who wanted 70 be chairman or the
convention and to control 1t for Wilson was de-
tealed; but he will have the same vote ana to"e'

to figure out how the Waterloo team
managed to run up the above score.
The Waterloo Times-Tribune has
the following to say regarding the
game: /.
"By faster team work, more &C

ket ball squad played tag last even
ing with the Manchester High school
team at, the Y. M. G. A. gymnasium,
and ran up score after score until
the game ended 40 to IA. Coach S.
G. Mallory used practically two teams
against Manchester and at no stage
in the game was the outcome in
doubt.
tThe visitors were noticeably small
er and lighter than the local boys.
They grittily mixed things up
throughout the game, but the big
floor and the size of the Waterloo
boys seemed to demoraize thel1
playing.
Manchester won the toss and
elected to defend the north basket.
Referee Bob Walker blew his whis-
tie and the game was off with a
rush and snap that showed the men
were in fine condition, although it
was. West Highs first game of the
regular schedule. Inside of a min

last half the locals fell one point
short Of their first half showing,
