was played at the Tabernacle, il
which our boys matched their Prov
ess with the Pennsylvania team.
A large and enthusiastic crowd
was gathered in front Of the Taber-
nacle long before the scheduled
time for the game. waiting impa-
tienlly for the doors 10 open. Adj
mission had been granted free TO a
limited number, all others being
charged an entrance fee of twenty
five cents.
At 100 the doors were opened and
the crowd poured in, quickly filling
the available space in the gallery
and around the room. A yelling
squad was gotten together and soon
were making things lively with
their yells.
At 800 o'clock both teams came
out upon the floor and after a brief
preliminary practice, the referees
whistle announced that il was time
for the game 10 start, and then the
scrimmage was on in full blast.
A great many who witnessed it
pronounced the game to be one OF
the fastest they had ever seen. Our
boys had suffered the pangs of de-
feat twice already, and once at the
hands Of the visiting team, and they
were determined 10 win. Swiftly
the men moved over the floor, the
ball constantly passing from the
hands Of one side to those of the
other. Now the ball was danger
ously near the Pennsylvania basket
and every minute looked as if il
would be tossed inland the crowd
held its breath Now il was back
To our goal again and all awaited
expectantly. So in one rapid swirl
the first half was played and when
the referee called time the score
stood ii to in our favor.
The second half, the Pennsylvania
men played a fast, hard game and
quickly began to regain the ground
lost in the first half. Our boys still
showed the same fast team work as
in the first half and continued in
the lead and when the game was
finally called the score stood % to
10 in our favor.
Both teams manifested a true,
sportsmanlike spirit turnout the
game and there was no suggestion
of unfair play as is so often the case
in contests OF that nature. The
men are TO be con-

way carrying the great world upon
their shoulders and making il SER

SO that, as | began by saying. I
have not come here to patronize
this cause. have not come here to
lend it such support as it may get
from the Office that I temporarily

Hughes Lauds the Mountaineers
In his opening remarks prelim-
mary to introducing President Frost
of Berea, Justice Hughes spoke at
some length of the 100000 people
living in the mountainous country of
the southern Appalachians, which
embraces portions of eight states
and where some of these people, he
said, are strangely isolated.
They are" he said, hearty folk,
brave, sinewy, self-reliant, simple

The spirit of the meeting was
beautifully cooperative, and aimed
at the lining up of all of the good

that stirred the blood of all present
