PUTNAM HIGH BEATS
WINDHAM HIGH
Putnam Pretty Sure to Be the
Champions of Southern Sec
ton of Quinebaug Valley
Basket Ball League.
If Putnam Beats Plainheld This Fri
day Night 1t Will Play Webster
For Championship of League

Putnam High school basket ball
team showed fine form at Whitman
tic Monday afternoon, and the little
basd of loyal supporters that followed
the ouintette to the Thread City were
proud of their team and its victory
over Windham High, which makes al
most sure that Putnam will be entitl-
ei 70 the championship Of the south
e1n section Of the Qui1ebaug Valley
basket ball league. All that is neees-
sarv to win this honor is fer the team
to bring home the game at Plainfald
TOMS and the way the team is work
ine at tie present moment makes
this almost certainty, Should Put
nam lose to Plainfieli it would be cut
eff it. but Putnam is not giving this a
thought, as they are calling it a 80 to
to saot that Plainield can net keep
them out of the first position.
Putnam brought home the game
from Wilhmantie by safe margin.
The final score was p to 10 and only
in the first half, while Putnam was To-
eating the baskets, did Windham look
at all dangerous. One of the features
of the game, in fact the feature, was
the way the teams and rooters of the
two schools fraternized. There was
the best of school spirit both among
the players and on the side lines, and
it was so apparent as to be the cause
! for remark. After the turbulent
times when Putnam plays some of the
teams in the league it seemed restful
and encouraging that such fair and
/ spoltsmanlike spirit could be evidenc-
| ed
In the first half Windham jumped
into the limelight and was in Put
MANS territory most of the time.
They were playing good, clean basket
ball and got every bit of applause
they deserved from Putnam rooters.
j Putnam, however. was getting better
acquainted with the court and the
baskets, and when the bell rang for
the second period they were ready to
come down the home stretch in their
real stride And when they turned
the three quaretr post they were Ger
tainly hitting their pace. If they get

KLINE WINS !
FIRST IN CONTEST

The Bever oratorical contest at
Coe College last night resulted in
the awarding Of first place to Leo
nard Kline of Extra, Iowa, and sec
ond place to Miss Agnes Walker Of
Rochelle, III. This contest is the
annual oratorical battle open to
members of the sophomore and
freshmen classes, and carries with it
two prizes of $25 and SIS each, Of
fered by the late S. G. Bever, and
continued by his son, James L.
Bever Of this city.
The contest was one of the best
all around contests staged at Coe
in recent years. There appeared to
be little outstanding superiority by
any Of the competitors, and as a
result the decisions of the FIVE judges
were widely scattered. Especially
close was the ranking for first and
second places. According to pri-
GRITTY ranking both Mr.. Kline and
Miss Walker received thirteen
counts but an addition of the per-
centages gave the prize to the for
mer by the close score of 1856 to
454.
The title Of the winning Grafton
was Americas Present Needs" 1t
was a discussion of the present de-
mand for more of the policy Of the
| Monroe doctrine, and the need for
far-sighted awakening to the posi-
bility of invasion, The author, MIR.
Kline is a member Of the freshmen
class, Of DIN Literary Society, and
Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity. He
is president Of his class, and one Of
the most popular athletes Of the
school, having been a candidate fol
both football and basketball honors
The contest was held under thu
auspices Of the college forensic
board, and the presiding officer was
Prof. S. j. Pattison. The next anc
last forensic event Of the year viii
take place during the last week o.
May, when the big home oratorica
