HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Putnam High showed plenty Of
"pep, hit when hits counted, ram the
bases with lightning speed, and gen.
orally out. played Windham High Of
/ Willimautie last Saturday. The final
score was 40. Blackmore, Putnam's
premiere slab artist, was on the mound
for Putnam and twirled in mid season
form, holding the visitors TO three
scant hits Fourteen of the Thread
City team fell victims TO his curves
and shoots, and at all stages of the
game he had the visitors at his beck
and call. One of the largest crowds
that ever witnessed local high school
contest was on hand, and from all in.
dicatons Ii was not disappointed NJ
the showing the team made. Neither
side scored till the third when Potters
attempt TO catch Nelson mapping at
second resulted in wild throw to the
center garden, and Nelson crossed with
the first tally. In the lucky seventh q
combination of hits ard stolen bases
tackled three more runs TO Putnam's
score. From the first "play balln to
the last man out in the ninth every
man was on his toes playing his best
and trying hard TO win. The Putnam
team ran like a well.oiled machine and
the Windham outs were recorded with
clock work regularity. The crowd that
was ON hand was made up of loyal
rooters and II looks as if Putnam High
is being well backed In its first at
tempt at League ball. Score; 2

The teams and the subject have been
chosen for the final debate of the inter-

Percy Richardson, Hazel Perry, and
the captain, Ruth Child; with alter

Rafferty, make up the Sophomore
team. This is practically the same
resolution rs that debated by the Yale
Harvard Princeton college teams.
/ while some slightly varying phase OF
/ the same subject has been the subject
of most OF the New England college
debates. This year the fact that in
these college debates honors have been
divided about equally between nega-
/ tive aud Affirmative teams seem to
mark the question as an eminently
fair one. The Juniors support ,the af
firmative, the lSophomores the mega
