The Advantage of Daily Training
Shown by the Border Boys.
Friday night at Newport, the Aca-
DENY basket ball team met Newport
High in the return game, and were
overwhelmed, by a score of 1923.
The score does not show the relative
merit of the teams for the Academy
had more tries for the basket than
Newport, but could not negotiate the
scores while NeWport's shots went in
regularly, even from beyond the cen
tier of the hall, where the players
were left alone as not being danger
Gus. The advantage of daily prac-
tice in the same hall was never more
displayed than in the accurate shoot
ing of the Newport players. The
Academy team lead at first, but were
showed under by the avalanche of
shots from seemingly impossible dis
tances. Allison was the star man
for Newport and r. Fisk for ST.
Johnsbury, the later putting up the
best game of his career. A return
game may take place here. The score:

Notes of the Game.
One of Fisk's baskets was thrown
while he was sitting on the floor, and
another with one hand while a New
port man held him.
Newport suggested that the two
teams be rated by comparative scores,
which would benefit them, but the
local boys rather favored a third
game to decide the claim. Such a
game, even on a neutral floor, would
undoubtedly mean victory for st.
| Johnsbury.
Contrary to reports, Hill started
the game. out-jumping his man for a
time, but he was out of condition,
and retired in favor of Stevens This
move let Johnny" Fisk into the
game and he performed according to
the Fisk reputation.
If the Academy team had scored
the same percentage Of their tries
that Newport did, they would very.
nearly come out ahead.
This week the team goes to Mont

MANY EXCITING SLIDES.
Snow Shoe Club Had Great Tramp
Go to the Center Tonight

20 10 the OCnUer IOm11hG
With the mercury registering 4
degrees below on DR.. Benedict's
front porch, the Snow Shoe Club took
the last slide over Academy hill and
removed their shoes after one of the
best tramps ever taken. The fea-
ture of last Wednesdays trip was the
large number of slides that were
available, with a minimum of climb
ing to reach them, and one in partic-
ular will be known as Louis Beck's
slide, for the genial leader picked out
a spot of Caledonia County that
stretched vertically downwards for
many rods and sent his 35 faithful
followers down the slippery path, one,
two or three at time, to pick them
selves out of the drifts below with
shouts of glee, snow within and with
out, and more or less disarranged.
There was no avoiding these descents
in this party, and every one had a
most glorious time. Torches and
red fire illuminated the pathway, and
the ladies seemed to enjoy vaulting
fences more than the men. The
night was perfect for a tramp, and
with regret that the crowd filed into
the village streets leaving the snowy
fields that still beckoned.
However the evening was but half
over. and at G.. A. r. hall were wait
ing laden tables to which the hungry
horde certainly did justice and
clam chowder was served three and
four times to those who desired ii.
Then extra rolls and doughnuts were
auctioned off by that capable auc-
tioneer, Earl Evans assisted by S. A.
Moore. With the arrival of the plan
list, dancing was INDUCED in un-
til the next day.
Tonight a hike to the Center will
be taken, starting promptly at 700,
an hour earlier than usual, and the
route will be taken over the easiest
way. that novices will have no trou-
bile in making the trip One of the |
famous grange suppers awaits the |
club there, and the return will be |
made in barges at a late hour. OF |
course anv one wishing may walk |

Wrestling.

.Sherb won two matches last week,
one at Lancaster and one at Groveton
his opponent being the veteran, Eli
Bourbon, and Sherb is getting better
each week. His matches now are
practice bouts to prepare him for his
second try at Jack Collins, that will
take place at the Colonial, March 10.
The local champion is positive that
he can trim Collins this time, but
win or lose, it will be the biggest
bout yet staged in st. Johnsbury.
Earlier in the week Sherb will meet
Young Zsbysco at Orleans and it is
probable that the latter artist will
referee the bout here on Friday.

Seneca Club.

This popular athletic club held it's
first public soiree last Thursday eve
ming, in the form of a barge ride,
supper and dance, and the trip to ST..
Johnsbury Center was a success in
every respect. The night was ideal
for the ride and about 35 couples
went from here, and more joined
them at the Center. The Grange
served a regular fourth degree sup
per that the "clubbers" decreed the
best ever, and then christened the
new floor in the hall with dancing un-
til the early hours. This floor prov
ed to be as fine as reported, and
Laughlin's orchestra played at their

consisted of G. w. Bennett, Lyle

The membership comittee of the y.

Since December 10 the committee

During the month. over $500 was rails
ed in memberships.
The Y. NJ. G. A. officials ordinarily

the financial committee still has con-
siderable to raise. it vas decided to
leave them pen for a short time.

The Grand Forks police department

In police or Justice court.
Approximately two thirds of the ar
rests made we're for drunkenness.
There We're also a large number

conduct, automobile speeding. and
other small offenses. The number of
paratively small.
The largest number of arrests made
in any II month was in September.
when 132 persons we're "pinched." 1t
was in this month that the raid on the
European hotel occurred. There was
Il large number of harvest hands in
the city at the time also. and many
of them were taken in for having i'm
bibed too freely Of the stuff that
made East Grand Forks famous"
The smallest number Of arrests dur
ing the year vas made during Janu-
r when only 90 were pinched. The
cold weather. which drove many of
the idle. undesirable class out of this
section Of the country is believed to
have accounted for this.
The largest sum collected in fines
during any n month was during last
September, when $500 were taken in.
Most of the men arrested at that time
were fresh from the harvest fields.
and had Il large portion of their pay
checks remaining.

RED-TAPE NOT
50 FORMIDABLE
In Connection With New
Marriage Law Says
Judge. Hassell.

The new marriage license law pass
ed at the last session of the state legis-
latura ,is believed to have. been the
cause of the number Of marriage IL
censes issued in Grand Forks county
during 1913 being less by 20 than the
number issued in 1919. i,
There were 3O8 marriage licenses
issNaasdl during 1919. This is the sans
number that was Issued IN 1911. In
1912 there were 1856: licenses issued in
the county.
In the opinion Of L. K. Hasseli,
county judge. this is accounted for by
the new law requiring physicians GER
tificates. and afidavits from disinter-
ested parties, and also blythe fact that
1912 was leap year.
The Judge believes that Many peo-
pie have an exaggerated idea OF the
amount Of red tape required in the
securing Of a license under the pres
ent Law. As a matter of fact, he says,
the entire business; may be transacted
III half an hour.
Even with the additional fees, the
cost Is not SO great as in Minnesota.
