The boys and girls basket ball
teams OF lr0nt0n High School played
the teams of Fredericktown High
School at fredericktown, last Satur-
day night. Leaving here at O'Clock
p. NJ, the teams arrived there in time
Tor some hard practicing before sup
per, when they were entertained in
the homes of the Fredericktown folk.
The first game WAS called at s:l5
O'Clock. Accustomed to their large
outdoor court, the Ironton teams
worked under disadvantage on the
slippery floor of the stuffy, indoor
court. Spectators lined the walls, in
truded Oh the court At will, and kept
up deafening uproar in the ears OF
the players. Captain Edgar was pre-
vented from throwing one goal when
two fellows attempted to cross the
court during play. The boys teams
were evenly matched. They played a
swift hard game of clean basket hall,
tensely interesting 10 the finish,
that called for every bit OF the splen-
did reserve power the players pos
sessed. At the end of the first halt
the score was 3 to 3; at the end of the
last half it was . to 8. Then extra
time was called by the Fredericktown
referee, during which fouls were call
ed on Ironton that netted Frederick
town two more goals. Preferring to
accept without protest the referee's Il
decision, Captain Edgar and his men
played SO brilliantly under the strain
of the last five minutes that Freder-
icktown sympathizers forgot them
selves and "rootedn for Ironton. The
girls teams were most uneven
ly matched. Fredericktown's team
has members who have played to-
gether for three years. Their team
work is almost flawless and their for
wards are practically infallible. De-
spite this the IroDton girls entered
the game with plucky determination
TO win that surprised their most SAN
guine friends. As the number OF
Fredericktown goals increased, Iron
toms "pepo increased, and the last
minute of play found them just as
"spunky" as they ever were. The
score OF 81 to s was not SO discourage
ing to Ironton, sympathizers, lronton
has the material; they simply need
practice as time will prove.
After the games a reception was
accorded visitors at the High School
building. Entertainment was provid-
ed and refreshments were served. The
six cars of young folk and teachers
from here appreciated fully their
splendid entertainment. A return
game will be played here November
II and large attendance of Ironton
sympathizers is expected.
Piedmont boys team will play here
next Saturday Afternoon at $50 p. NJ.
