It's sad, sad story mate, but true nevertheless. Prescott Hi basketeers Journeyed to Camden to play the locals and came back with two points to their credit and 35 on the other side or the ledger. The two points being made on fouls thrown by Miss McMil- Ian. The local sextet barely missed the whitewash but miss is nearly as good as a mile. The only fault of the local maids was their lack of ex- perience; the spirit to win was there the support was there, but the Cam denians just had the edge in exper- fence. They can't do it in football; they had to take it out on our girls.
