MT. VERNON
RumbIGd East HI By A Score
Of SO To IS
After A Columbus Player
SmaSheS The Ball Into
BARS Face

When Guard Cinflona in a fit of an
ger picked up the ball and smashed
1t into Howard Blair's face in the
second half of the basketball game
between East High of Columbus and
Mt. Vernon high at the Y. M. G. A..
Tuesday night, he unwittingly ap-
piled the fuse to Mt. Vernon's dyna-
mite and the whirlwind playing from
that time on left East broken and
humbled at the end of the game with
a score of 80 to 1S against their team.
Before this little exhibition of
spleen, Mt. Vernon had led East by
only few points in dull and slug
gish game. Afterwards, the locals
score leaped by bounds so that by
the end of the contest it was almost
double that of East's. Though a con-
temptible trick, and yet not without
some slight justification, as Blair had
accidentally struck East's guard in
the face, Cinflona's action was the
best thing that could have happened
to Mt. Vernon and was directly re-
sponsible for the size of the score, as
the team was thoroughly angered and
wide awake.
East displayed one of the most
powerful guarding combinations seen
on the local floor this season. Smith
hisler forward of exceptional class,
not only handled his own position
well, but also continually assisted the
guards in their work. East used
travelling five-man combination and
relied on speed to carry the ball down
for shots.
Blair and Jones distinguished them
selves in the contest, Blair by scrap
py, energetic recovery of the ball to-
gether with some excellent shooting,
and Jones by the prettiest exhibition
of running guard work seen here this
season among high school teams. The
latter was everywhere at once and
frequently battled his way through
field of opposing players for a toss at
the basket. Eastman showed his Gus
tomary brilliancy in pass and team
work, but had poor luck in shooting.
Sapp was slightly slow and did not
show the speed he is capable of dis
playing, though it must be said that
his opposing player was a splendid
guard. Cunningham, in his work as
back guard, continually drew cheers
from the crowd for his playing.
The first half ended with the score
IA to IL in favor of Mt. Vernon. In
the second half, Mt Vernon scored 19
points to East's 7. Cinflona's act was
responsible, although Mt. Vernon
would have won in any event
Don Hamilton of Notre Dame, prob
ably the best basketball referee in
the state, and one who has observed
the playing of all the best teams this
season, has stated that East high and
West high of Columbus have as good
teams as there are in Ohio. He re-
Gently remarked to a Mt Vernon fan
that if the local high school could de-
feat either Of these teams, it could
go a long way in the tournament.
East high has had the satisfaction
for several years of defeating Mt
Vernon in football, both in Columbus
and in this city. The victory Tues
day night was accordingly doubly
sweet.

A down-state Republican had occa-
sion to be in Toledo last week and his
business made him guest of two of the
most prominent manufacturers, life
long Republicans. Discussing political
matters both these men said they had
voted for Willis, and had aided in f.
nancing the campaign. They said they
had always voted the Republican tick
ct.
II did not like Cox" said one of
them, "but did not like him for things
he did. He always had opinions and l
admire him for adhering to what he be-
lieved right even in face of threatened
defeat. But this fellow, Willis, he is
impossible. He has no will on any
thing. His word is no good. His de-
cision is worthless. / am as good a
Republican as / ever was. / do not
like Cox's politics. But comparison
has opened my eyes, and will certain
ly vote for Cox, Democrat, before l
will vote for Willis again."
The down-state Republican in tell
ing this story gave the names of the
men. They stand for something. And
repeating the conversation he added:
