BASKET BALL TEAM
WINS FIRST GAME
Putnam High School Defeats
Woodstock BY Score of
34-14
Social Evening Enjoyed By Faculty
Pupils and Their Friends

Tuesday evening Putnam High
school combined social and a basket
ball game into one of the most de-
lightful evenings ever spent in the
high school gymnasium. This years
basket ball team made its first appear
ance of the season against the Wood
stock Academy Nearly the entire
high school was present with many
tswnspeople as visitors. Two teams
made up of the hign school and the
trade school boys played an introduce
tory game of basket ball, the decision
going to the high school. Between
the halves of this game two relay
teams composed of girls from the
Senior and Junior classes ran two re-
lay races. The girls representing the
Senior class defeated the girls rep
resenting the Junior class by a mar
row margin in the second race. Had
not one of the Junior girls fallen near
she finish a third race would have
been required for the decision. The
girls also played short basket ball
game between the halves of the major
games of the evening. This is the
srst time that any form of girls ath-
leties has been seen in the high school
for some years, and is the most graft
flying evidence of the return of the
girls activities in the school
Putnam High school quintet had
no difficulty in defeating Woodstock
3414, and although the game was
marked by more or less rough tum-
bles, it was exceptionally clean and
promises great work for the future
The passing teamwork of the high
school shows the beginning of careful
coaching, and should lead to greater
results before the end of the year.
Murdoch, Dobson and Woodson play
ed exceptionally well for Putnam,
Murdoch shooting eight baskets and
one foul. NJ Healey was the out
standing player for Woodstock, max
ing all but three of their points. Mr..
Snow refereed the game and the line

the treatment of a cold cough or
grippe should invariably be "a brisk

up severe cold over night, or cut
short an attack of grippe and pas7ib'r
breven pneumonia.
