All-stars at the opening OF the sea-
son and lied the score with them &c,
II is expected that with their increase
of experience and knowledge OF the
game that they will hold their oppo-
nents down for a hard game on
Thanksgiving.
The local high school team has had
q rather disastrous season in its in
terscholastic games. due to inexperi-
ence and lack of weight. However
It is conceded by all with whom they
played that no member of the team
has ever showed a yellow streak.
They have played n straight. clean
game in every engagement. and
fought as hard as they could. Their
defeats were not due to lack OF hard
work in training. They have been
obliged to battle with stronger and
more experienced teams, which were
superior to them in weight, expert
ence and in knowledge OF the game
Captain Hinderman Of the All-stars
has called last meeting for signal
practice tomorrow evening. The
squad will meet at the Charles Co.
store at 7:SO and from there proceed
