PARIS TAKES BOTH GAMES FROM
NASHVILLE HIGH

Paris High closed its basket ball
season at home Friday night with
two great games. Maysville had come
with the idea that they were going
TO walk OFF with the prize without
much trouble. Instead they had
troubles enough to worry them for
several hours, and left the prize in
Paris.
A large and enthusiastic audience
witnessed the games and from the
moment the referees whistle first
blew the air was charged with "pep."
The members of the Paris team were
mindful of the games at Maysvflle
and were determined there should
be no doubt as to who the victors
were this time. The girls lineup was
the same as before and every girl
played to win. From the beginning
the odds were in favor of Paris, for
that quintette never stopped fighting
a minute. The work of each one
stood out as individual and yet each
recognized the fact that there were
four others on the team. Miss Bald
win at center covered the whole floor
never letting her opponent more
than a few inches away from her; in
fact she even fell on the floor every
time the Maysville center did, which
seemed quite frequent to the specta-
tors. The two forwards, Misses Ell
der and Harper, were constantly at
the right place at the right time
When the ball got in Paris territory
the score-keeper could safely put
down two points. Maysville was
quite proud of her guards, but she
will have to produce better ones to
keep the ball away from Ruby and
Edith. Misses McClintock and AL
exander, as guards, forced the visit
ing forwards to play defensive,
rather than the usual offensive game.
On the rare occasions when Mays
vile did Nave the ball it was soon
recovered by one of these girls, feet
OF foot, quick of eye and externally
on the job. The final score was Is to
6 in favor of Paris. Three times
what they made, did you say? Yes,
and the referee and everybody else
knew we had won it, nothing was
given to us.
The score for the boys game at
Maysville had been tied, so it was
of great concern to those interested
in high school athletics to settle for
all time which school had the bet
ter team. The second team started
the game and let Maysville make
nine points before they scored. This
was by way of encouragement and
they needed it before they were
through. After about ten minutes,
the first team went in, and, bang!
ho or hi1,cr hno tn
tipped the ball toward the goal,
Roberts cought it, passed it to Tuck
err who threw it to Mcintyre, and he
shot IT, It was brought back to
center and the operation was repeat
ed with slight variations. Every
man on the team played for a record,
and yet the whole team was marked
by splendid teamwork. Dundon at
guard, played the whole game and
was fright there" Tucker covered
so much territory that he would
have broken pedometer if he had
worn one. Roberts did not have a
chance to play at Maysville because
of his shoulder. He opened his bag
of tricks and showed them to his
opponent one by one. Mcintyre may
be little, but he has big ideas, and
he kept his guard vainly hopping
around until the poor man was out
Of breath. Rice played the best game
he has played this season and that
is saying a whole lot.
The score was Is to Is when the |
final whistle blew. DR.. Tunghauser |
acted as referee and Paris was indeed
fortunate to have him. The last |
girls game at which he officiated
was at Cornell College and he knew
his business from start to finish. It |
Is indeed gratifying to know that !
Paris appreciated the value Of high |
standards for athletics. Association !
rules make for these and the differ !
ence of management and conduct of |
the games played with association |
members and those who are not is |
very noticeable. Maysville does not |
belong to the association and we
would advise her to get in. /
