 High School Notes. -...
 The Stafford high five met the Glas- 4onbury high school quintet in the Y. EM. c. A. hall last Friday evening as Scheduled, and a very fast and inter- esting game ensued It was the first time the local boys had a chance to play before home audience and they took the opportunity to make repu- tation for themselves. The Peach Town high school has always had a frst-class team and seldom go down whistle Friday nights game was the real thing. It did not take long to see that they were evenly matched. Staff ford's forwards did much guarding, and Pagan was always there to inter cept passes when the ball got near the opponents basket. There was not a single opening for a fair shot at the hoop during the first half. After about fifteen minutes of chasing around the hall the first foul was called on Hale of the opposing team and COmins cleared the ring for the first counter of the game. Less than a minute later another foul was called, this time of one of Stafford's lads, and Hale made good on it, thereby tying the score. Thus it remained till the finish of the half. The second half started off even faster than the first, each team bent on scoring. Cum mings found an opening and slipped in a twin counter. Soon Whitaker followed his example and the players continued to battle with mere energy. Many time the Peach TOwners brought the ball down to their basket, but Pagan was forever there to inter fere. Cummings again found the ball in his hands and the basket just above him so he sent in his second contri- button to the score. Cunningham, who up to this time had been doing sgreat guarding work, now took his chance at the ring and the score was boosted two notches. Whitaker and Comins hit the inside of the hoop in quick succession, thereby adding four points to the score. Meanwhile two fouls had been called on the Oppon- ents, on one of which Comins secured a point Touhey dropped in a twin counter and the score remained till the end of the game IA to B. Mullins's expert refereeing did much in pre- venting any trouble between the players. The score:
