The Shepherd College basketball team
continues 10 hold its winning Sireak, and
so far has not lost a game this season.
Last Thursday right we defeated the
strong team from Massanutton College,
OF Woodstock, Va, by the score OF IS to
l9. The game was rather rough, but was
well played and hard-earned victory.
On Monday afternoon the team represent
ing Randolph Macon Academy, OF Front
Royal, Va, played here, and in the start
it looked as though they would make up
for the defeat we handed them last week.
The game was close and very exciting
and Shepherd College finally won by the
score OF Is to IS. The game was the
cleanest one played on the home floor
this year. On Saturday afternoon at $50
the Chambersburg team will play in the
college gymnasium, and close game is
expected.
The recital in the Shepherd College
auditorium last Friday evening by Miss
Margaret Horne, violinist, and Prof Wer-
time, pianist, of the West Virginia Uni
versity, was very finished performance,
and it was enjoyed by an appreciative
audience: Miss Horne is wonderful
violinist, her technique being almost
fautleSS, while at the same time she plays
with much ease and grace. Prof. o. Wer-
time is very accomplished musician also,
and in his solo work as well as his &C
compartments for Miss Horne showed
himself master OF the piano. If Miss
Horne and Prof Wertime are fair repre-
sentatives OF the music department of the
University, that institution has most ex-
cellent reason for Boosting. Mr.. and
Mrs q. NJ. Beltzhoover entertained Miss
Horne and Prof. Wertime while they were
in ShepherdStown.
