NAMENT AT 5uckHANNoN.
ON PAST PERFORMANCES MAR
TiNSBuRG PLAYERS WOULD
MAKE cREDiTAeLE SHOWING.

PLAYED FROM WESTERN SEC
TON OF THE STATE.

Now that the basketball season is
in full sway. aud the Martinsburg
High school squad has won all of its
games save one, il being won by the
strong Lebanon. Pa, team and by a
small margin of six points, the fans
are wondering II the team will
finish the season with any claim to
the state championship.
Every year after all OF the state
high school teams have concluded
their regular schedule. state basket.
ball tournament Is held at Buckhan-
ron. and every town OF any import
ance sends its team to compete for
the state high school title. Last sea
son almost twenty towns were repre-.
sented. including the following:
Wheeling Parkersbrrg, F'airmont.
Grafton, Charleston. Morgantown,
Clarksbnrg, Huntington, Bluefeld.
Moundsville. Buckhannon, Sisters
vile and several others In that list
the local fans will recognize several
towns that are nothing like the size
of Martinsburg. and also the ability
of their players W 4aat above that OF
ours.
Martinsburg High school squad has
never taken trip beyond the ALLIE
gheny mountains and has only met
one team west of the mountains, that
being the Fairmont Normal school,
which played here two years ago
while on it's eastern trip. An unu-
sually close game resulted and the
local high boys were returned vic
tors by two points. All who saw that
contest declare that i. was the most
exciting ever played in this city. This
Fairmont team is acknowledged to be
one of the fastest in the state and al
ways in the running for the state
title. Judging from this. the local
high squad would have a good chance
of winning the title, or at least max
ing the teams in the western part
OF the state hustle to beat them out.
The high school quint and school
officials should get together on this
movement and reach definite agree
ment to make the trip to Buckhan-
non in the spring. and place Mar
tinsburg on the state basketball map
The cost Of such a trip would not be
large, and one thing is certain, our
team would receive as square deal
as II the games were staged on the
local floor, as the tournament is un-
der the management OF Harry STAINS
berry, athletic director at Wesleyan
College, and recognized throughout
the state for his ability as a leader
The trip. il made, would also add
to the making OF better shedufe
for next season. providing Martins
burg makes a good showing.
The only expense the team would
incur would be that Of travelling as all
teams will be entertained at the Wes-
leyan College club house, gratis, while
the tournament is on.
