WINDHAM HIGH SCHOOL
 DEFEATED BY PLAINFIELD In Fast Basketball Game on Home Floor. ,---

Windham High was defeated by ! PlainfieldPlainfieldi High at the local gym Friday evening. The game was fast largely due to the effort of Ref ere Mercy. At no time did Windham lead | though at several times it appeared l that their winning streak was com | ing. -# Windham was handicapped by the l loss of four players ,and Hawkins, a l substitute of the previous game show l ed up fine, and certainly deserves a place on the varsity five. Hewie, the only regular player who was on the i floor Friday evening, was in the best of form, for his field shots though on | the free shots he was :. a little off | making only quarter of his shots. l Windhams passes were mostly fum- bled, chiefly due to the green players.
 The Plainfeld five proved to be a good machine team. They usually got l the jump and then passed to their goal, but missed the majority of their easy i shots. The only phemenal baskets were shot by Smith. He was fine on | the follow up and made severl one hand overhead shots. The play of the 1 goal Windham had the least number l of fouls called on them. while Potter | of Plainfield shot several neat shots. Summary and score:

 FIELD EEA.
By PETER p. CARNEY.
Editor National Sports Syndicate.

That the East and the West are evenly matched as regards trapshoot- ing ability is proven by persual of the 1917 averages compiled by the Interstate Trapshooting Association
 It is singular, likewise remarkable and it does not seem possible, that the combined averages of the highest ten shooters from each section of this great country should be the same .9644, but. that is what the Interstate Association ''dopester" says they are. That is just about as close as any one could expect in one years shooting. But we did little figuring on our own hook and getting the thing down to the smallest of fractions we find the West has fraction the better oi the statistics. viz:

PRESIDENTS ADDRESS SOON
Representatives of Roads Delay
Meeting Until After
That Occasion.

Washington, Jan. Coal trains are
going forward under ne wgovernment
orders based on the belief OF Director
General McAdoo that railway conges'
ton rather than actual shortage Is re-
sponsible for the fuel famine in many
districts.
Upon receipt of reports that hun
dreds of loaded coal cars were stalled
on sidings behind long strings of cars
containing shipments of higher prefer
entail rating than coal, all existing prl'
ority orders for the entire country
were suspended by Robert S. Lovett,
priority director of the war industries
board, on recommendation of the d.
rector-general.
Presidents Address Friday. ,
President Wilson, it was learned will
go before congress Friday to present
his recommendations for legislation
to make government operation fully
effective and to provide for compensa'
tion of the carriers, and legislation
which has already been drawn will be
introduced Immediately after his ad-
dress. Some officials think there will
be a vigorous fight over the question
whether the legislation should
be effective only for the period OF the
war and limited time thereafter. or
should remain in force until speclflc-
ally repealed or modified by con-
gress.

they would ask permission to with

The committee instead will hear Com
missioner Aitchison of the Interstate
Commerce commission, and then prob
ably postpone further hearing until
the presidents message has been re-
ceived.
Director-G eneral McAdoo spent a
busy new years day. He broke rail-
way precedents by ordering five
Pennsylvania c0mpany's tunnels un.
der the Hudson river, heretofore re-
stricted to passenger trains, to be
used to hasten coal supplies into the
heart of New York city. The orders
are to be followed, even if they in
terfere with passenger schedules.
Determined to Give Relief.
This action was considered signifi-
cant by railroad men not only because
of the direct results, but because 1t
indicated how determined the govern
ment is to use all facilities to their
utmost regardless of previous prac-
tices, to relieve congestion and pro-
mote efficiency.
