PENNINGTON WINS ONE
AND LOSES ONE

The two Pennington basket ball
teams played last Saturday night on
the local court. The girls team play
ed DeSoto and the boys team played
Desloge. Pennington broke even on
these games---the girls winning and
the boys losing.
The first game was the Farming
ton girls against the DeSoto. Farm
ington had defeated DeSoto previous
ly by an easy score and were expecting
another easy victory. The game staff
ed off with snap and it was several
minutes before a goal was scored.
Pennington scored the first goal. The
team work of Pennington was no
ticeably superior to that of DcSoto.
DeSoto was able to score only one
goal during the game, the score be-
ing Is to 2. The game was refereed
by Miss Jacobs.
The boys game with Desloge was
an interesting one. Both teams were
ION their toes" after the ball all the
time. Desloge, however, had the edge
on the Pennington boys and the final
score was 80 to 10 in their favor.
Pennington played a plucky game,
but were unable to cope with the su-
periority of the Desloge team. Des-
loge has a good team that is worthy
of mention. Frank Murphy, center,
is a good one and can shoot goals
from anywhere in anyways near tho
goal. The forwards also did their
cart Of goal shooting and the guards
FIELD the Pennington forwards to a
III
should be commended on having put
up such a plucky fight. The lineup
of the teams were:
Desloge-Murphy, center; Mccoy,
forward; Hardy, forward; Cole,
guard; Murphy, guard.
Farmingtcn-Lowe, center; Burks,
forward; Simms, forward; .Tetley,
guard; Denman guard.
The game was refereed by Coach
Fleming Of Flat River.

PRESBYTERIAN Church

In connection with the above an
nouncements of services for this
church, attention is called to the
Three Million Dollar Campaign for
all Benevolences" in the Presbyterian
church u. S. now on. Missouri's part
Of this goal of Three Million Dollars
is $15O,000. Presbyterians all over
the State are anxiously watching the
progress of the organization of pres
byteries and sessions for the big Ev-
cry Member Canvass to be held SIM
ultaneously in every church in all the
Assembly on the afternoon of March
18th. Our officers are planning for
this canvass in the local church and
hope to reach our goal and have a
part in the victory that comes by
pledging the 100000 in all the
church for the year beginning April
1st Rev. Robert S. Boyd, the syn
odical manager for the state of Mis-
souri,, says the movement is getting
under good Roadway and ministers
and churches are growing more and
more optimistic as to the results. This
is the greatest simultaneous move
ment, possibly, that has yet been I'M
dertaken by the Southern Presbyter-
ian Church and all watch with inter-
est its results.

UNION SERVICES

Owing to the fact that the furnace
at the Presbyterian church is not of
commission, and they are not sure
they viii have it ready by Sunday,
the Union service will be held at the
Baptist church at 1880 p. m. We will
be glad to go back to the Presbyterian
church as soon as it is possible. Our
Presbyterian brethren regret this as
much as we do, but is simply one of
those iayaidable things we meet with
SO often. fs gsg
