be better if they knew and could give
some suggestions and encouragement.
They take it as matter of course
if you win. You are supposed to do
that But if you loose you are no
good whatever. Let's all support ath-
letics.
The Meade and Liberal Game
This basket ball game was played
January 10, 1919 at the basket ball
court in the National Guard Armory.
The game was called at o'clock.
On the first tip off Meade made goal
and almost as soon on the second.
Meade outplayed Liberal all the time
in the first half. The score at the end
of the second half was 23 to IL in
Meade's favor. The last quarter was
not so fast as the first or second one.
Liberal and Meade played about the
same but Meade had superior team
work, and played circles around L.
H. S. The final score was 35 to 10 in
Meade's favor.
Tyrone 29-Liberal %
The Liberal basket ball team again
met defeat; this time at the hands of
the Tyrone five. 1t seemed that Lib
eral far excelled their opponents on
team work but the wearers of the
crimson and black were weak on goal
throwing. We are not offering ex-
cuses for being defeated but are just
as enthusiastic as ever. There is real
craftsmanship in being good losers.
The score was 1928 favoring Tyrone.
Perhaps the boys could have had more
support if every high school student
and teacher had come out to see the
game.
Students are telling that the bulle-
tin boards are meaning more work
for them. This may be true but it is
different sort of. preparation and
therefore more interesting. In the
making of exhibit books in history
and English there is chance for the
artistic element to assert itself.

An industrious ticket seller, Soph
and a member of the football team,
and who has a brother on the bas-
ket ball team, took a check in pay
ment for two Lyceum tickets, with
out examining the check. He hur-
ried on to sell some more. When the
reports of the selling for the day
were turned into the Office there was
check signed U. R. Easy. We be-
lieve he was.
