BASKETBALL GAME AT WINSTON.
(Reported for The Review.)

High Point made it's initial debut into
the basketball circles in Winston Salem
last week in spirited contest between
the Y. M. G. A. representative team and
the High Point Athletic club.
1t was evident after the first five min
utes of play that the Twin City quin-
tet had the visiting team outclassed in
passing, if not in shooting, and the game
was much better than the score would
indicate. ..'.
The best advantage was the possession
of the ball on the tip-off, Winston Salem
securing the ball practically all of the
time, to the detriment of the High
Pointers. This enabled the winners to
retain possession of the ball much more
than their opponents and resulted i'm
the, Twin City team in locating the
basket lowered the score considerably.
For High Point, Rochelle played ex-
cellent ball, as well as Hardee. These
two were clearly the best material on
the team, Hardee guarding Rector, one
of Winston-Saems best forwards, and
considering the disadvantage Of playing
on a strange floor, did well in holding
his opponent to four goals. Morris, who
was substituted for Rector in the Sec
ond half, secured two goals on him IN
Is minutes. .'
For Winston Salem, Bazemore was the
shining light. On, guard he netted six
goals while holding his opponent score
less and played fast ball the entire game
The Twin City team will probably play
here in a. few weeks and a large attend
ance should greet them: ~

A NEW DEPARTURE.

The paid members of the fire depart
ment of the city will make an hourly
inspection of the main business section,
running from English street on North
Main to Green street on South Main.
This new departure will give to High
Point a lower insurance rate. The idea
is a good one.

DANGER-SAFETY SIGNS

We need safety signs on the pub
lie squares and need them badly
and here's hoping that the City
Council will have them placed.
Signs painted red, reading Keep to
the right" and Safety First" or
Danger. All cities and towns of
any size have them, why not High
Point. They may save several lives
Then why not have them.

THE SOLDIERS, CHRISTMAS
Bayonets were our Christmas trees.

Told love tales of the miStletoe-
Merry Christmas! Merry war!

TO AWARD HONORs, PRIZES
AND SCHOLARSHIPS SEP. I

At the first assembly of the Uni
yersity this year, September l, all
honors awarded for excellence In
standing during the academic year
1915-16 will be announced. On last
commencement day announcement
was made OF a change in the time of
awarding of honors to students. Pre-
viously made on commencement day
for all students, this practice has
been retained for seniors and for stu
dents given prizes and special schol-
arships on grounds other than ex-
cellence in standing. The former
practice of announcing honors for
all students on commencement day
was open to objection. because, ex-
cept for seniors and students taking
diplomas, the records we're not yet
complete. For this reason determin-
alton of honors for undergraduates
and of prizes and scholarships based
on high standing is now made after
commencement and when the records
are complete. Such scholarships will
be awarded only to students return
ing to the university.

be, it is safe to say that those who
are fortunate enough to obtain a seal
or standing room in Bio hall tomor-
row afternoon will be given a treat.
TO sharpen the appetites of the
lovers of the sport, two excellent pre-
liminaries have been arranged.
Young Teter and Kid Macart. both
Of Ely, will face each other In a four
round go, while Mike Mitchell and
Harry Paul, both of Ruth, will go
owe the anne distance, unless either
is fortunate enough to land the
sleep producer early in the game,
which is not at all unlikely.

THE GIRL OF TO-DAY.
Woman Wishes She Could 90 to
School Over Again Today.

A woman who graduated 25 years
ago from leading girls seminary
says she wishes she could go to
school over again now She longs
not so much for the better instruc-
ton of today. Her feeling was that
greater than this is the better spirit
among the girls. At that time the
competition was as to which girl
should have the most beaus dangling
around. Success and popularity in
society were the ideals.
Yet the school referred to is ia
nous, one of the best of its type in
this country. twenty-five years ago
it had an excellent faculty and a
principal of high ideals and conspic-
uous efficiency. The teachers did
their best to impart high aims. But
they could do little against the tenn
per of the times. Women then were
parasites on men. Their primary aim
was to win masculine favor, to be
the bellies Of the ball." and to have
a little court of flatterers always
about them.
The girl of today has far more

PENSION FOR AGED PASTORS.
Protestant Episcopal Church is
Conducting Successful Cam
paign Among Members.

The trustees of the church pen
sion fund reported to the general
convention held at ST. Louis last
week, the raising of three million
dollars toward the fund of five mil
lion dollars, for providing an ade-
quate pension for the aged and dis
abled clergy of the Protestant Epis-
copal church. 1t is confidently eX-
pected that the whole amount will be
contributed by March 1 next when
the plan will be put into action.
Under this scheme a minimum
pension of six hundred dollars per
annum will be paid clergymen who
retire at the age of 6S, and similar
provision will be made for those who
retire earlier by reason of disabil-
ity. Widows pensions will be half
Of the foregoing, with allowances
for minor orphans. The five million
dollars will constitute a reserve, and
he fund will be maintained by an
assessment on the parishes based
on the annual salary of the clergy.
These payments have been calculat-

A DEMOCRATIC VIEW.

Manson Democrat:-There should
not be so much excitement and hula
baloo raised because Ed Meredith ad-
mitted before a chautauqua audience
that he took an occasional nip Of in
toxicating liquor Many as good a
man as he has taken even semi-oc-
casional snort of booze and come out
in the end with a large funeral, beau
tiful and costly floral offerings, a
tall, high-priced monument in a
choice part of the cemetery and life
insurance enough to make his widow
one of the most attractive and &C
complished ladies in town. Mere
diths drinking never hurt him any
for either business or politics. He is
a handsome fellow with a clear, clean
skin and does not look the least little
bit like a soak. Neither does Bill
Harding, but he looks more like
drinking man than Ed does. But we
never saw Harding take a drink, al
tho we have been present on occa
sions with him when champagne and
cocktails flowed like anti4Harding re-
solutions at a conference of Protes-
tant preachers in Des Moines. Some
Of his supporters are the rankest pro-
hibitionists we ever knew-and they
don't drink booze Of any kind under
any circumstances, while some OF
Meredith's strongest boosters are
just the other way. One OF Meredith's
best supporters is a Des Moines news
elected because he has Ed sized up
as great prohibitionist, and that
same newspaper man refused to drink
beer the last time he was in Manson
but he demanded whiskey and got
it and took two big drinks of it in
rapid succession. He said beer did
not agree with his stomach.
Three Of the strongest protested
prohibition republicans in the Tenth
congressional district, two of whom
are supporting Harding and one, OF
whom is a strong Meredith man,
were caught drinking beer in Chica-
so hotel bars during the last republi-
can national convention. Beer is
good for them, but bad for the farm
ers and working people. This is the
most hypocritical gubernational cam
paign, on both sides, that ever made
Iowa a political laughing stock.
