worked cleverly together. Wallis gave
a great exhibition of guarding. In ad-

ming of last week between representa-
tives of these two schools. The ques-
ton was Resolved, that at the close

firmative was taken by Ocean City,
represented by Misses Mabel Hoch

fight they made, their arguments were
sound and well presented, but the
greater amount of training received by
the Ocean City team gave them the
advantage.

game against Carney A. c., which H.
S. lost, 1928. This game should not
count against H. s., for the regular
H. S. quintet had a stronger team
than Carney A. c.. Bakers knowledge
of basketball made him a capable
leader. Woodruff was in every minute
of play in every game. Lavigna also
made a creditable showing in every
game. The guarding of Wallis could
not be surpassed in scholastic ranks.
Balestrieri had a good eye for the bas-
ket, but was inclined to take long
shots from the center of the floor in
preference to passing to men under
the basket. Tie substitutes also de-
serve credit, for they performed well
when they were in the game and gave

Who says the Pleasantville High
School girls do not hold the New Jer-
sey championship in basket ball? We
challenge anyone who disputes this to
appear on the P. H. S. gymnasium
floor at some time agreeable to both
parties concerned. This team has not
once been defeated this season.
Their latest walk-off took place last
Saturday afternoon, when they won
an easy victory over the club of A. G.
H. S. girls, who journeyed here, think
ing they would captivate the laurels.
But they were sadly disappointed.
The other team scarcely had the
ball in their hands for any length Of
time, due to the excellent guarding
of Rainear and Smith, while the for
wards and center had no trouble at all
shooting baskets. Their goal shoot
ing cannot be equaled.

in his miserable life Kaiser Bill
the Butcher tells them the truth
by simply wiring back that "ev-

And sure enough they are.
Among the things coming his way
are several millions of American
fighters the best and bravest in
the world-also three times that
many British, French and Italian
soldiers, along with everything
that can be shot out of millions
of guns and cannons. Yes, every

A big row is on among the big
thieves and rulers of Germany
which is a good sign. All of the
German generals are trying to lay
the blame of the present crushing
defeat on the half-witted Crown
Prince. This. has caused the
aforesaid C. Prince to challenge
all of the generals to fight duels-
but they simply laugh at him.
Kaiser Bill is also sore the way
things are going and has canned
half a dozen or more generals
this week for snubbing his nutty
son. The leading German papers
are also roasting the big leaders
and war chiefs for their lying hab-
it of keeping the real truth of the
war situation from the public and
common people. Verify, it is the
beginning of the end of Prussian-
ism.
