Basket Ball.

N. H s. 80; SOUTH PORTLAND H s. IA.
Norway High School basket ball team
added another to its string of victories
Friday evening, its opponents on this &C.
casion being the high school team from
South Portland. The work of the visit
ors was rather Disappointing. They
confined themselves almost wholly to a
defensive game, their one object appar-
emily being to prevent Norway from run
ming up large score on them. 1t matter.
ed not to them what means they used in
covering an opponent, their favorite
method being to get both arms around
him and hold on as long as possible
Especially was this true of the man play
ing against Sanderson.
The first half saw the toughest play.
ing witnessed on the local floor this sea-
son. The visitors were decidedly ag-
gressive and the home players showed a
tendency to give them whatever kind of
game they were looking for. 1t was
evident that the Norway boys were given
little advice between the halves, for In
the second half they overlooked plays
made by the visitors that would have
been challenged during the first half.
Norway has shown during the season
that 1t prefers to play basket ball and
cut out the rough stuff, but no boys
with any life will stand to have 1t rubbed
in too deep.
During the early part of the game,
while Sanderson was being held 80 he
could do little, Haskell came to the
front and showed the best basket ball he
has played this.year, making some nice
baskets. Sandersop, however, got In his
usual brilliant work in the second half,
and Smith showed his ability to get
around the hall with great speed. Klain
was back in the game but is not yet
quite as fast as he was before he was in:
jured. The most noticeable feature Of
the visitors play was the work of White
in throwing baskets from fouls. He got
six out of twelve. Sanderson got six
but had eighteen free throws, while
Shepard got one out of two tries.

Nh. S. % IS; TOWN TEAM 9.
In the other game of the evening the
second team of the high school had very
little difficulty In defeating q team of 10.
cal boys. The feature play OF the con-
test, however, was made by Young OF
the town team. Those who took part In
this game were: High School I'd, Bethel,
Hall, Lassslle, Brooks and Bartlett. On
the town team we're Fogg, Young, King,
Seavey and Luck.
Next Friday evening Norway High
will meet Westbrook High at the Opera
House. Westbrook is acknowledged to
be one Of the fastest high school teams
In the state and they are after the cham
pionship. The makeup of the team is
practically the same as II was year ago,
when they gave Norway such . hard
game. There Is every reason to expect
that the contest will be one of the best
Norway has on her schedule.

THE TAX RATE.

Ever since, ana long before, ior
that matter, certain tax on tea
was one Of the causes OF the Amer
lean revolution, high taxes have
been high toll of human prosper
ity. human progress and human
happiness. A high tax rate ef-
fects all. When, therefore, the
Holland administration reduced
the tax rate seven cents 1t accom-
plisbed something that made most
substantially for the prosperity of
the city.
Now comes the state of Texas
and gives the tax rate horlZonal
push. Speaking of the addition
to the burdens of the people Farm
aud Ranch said recently:
at is rather discouraging to
note that although the country has
just passed through times of fnau-
cial distress because OF the Euro
psan war, taxes, both national aud
state, have been or are to be IN
creased; transportation companies
are pleading for increase In rates;
in some instance commodities the
consumer must have will be sd-
vanced in price; more offices have
been created and larger salaries
given to officials with no thought
of The producer. 1t does not seem
to peuallzs the producer and the
consumer for the inefficiency aud
incompetsncy of those who serve
the public"
