nue.. Only last week a car driven
by Mrs. W. F. Joyner came very
near being rundown, had it not
been for the quick thinking and
action of Mrs. Joyner, the car
would have been smashed to
pieces and the occupant probably
instantly killed. The freight
depot and warehouse and a long
string of freight cars, made it
impossible for Mrs. Joyner to see
the oncoming train until she
was about twenty-five feet from
the track. 1t was impossible to
stop the car and impossible to
cross. Mrs. Joyner made a
sharpturn and only missed collid
ing with the train a few feet.

boys had speed, accuracy and
endurance, the qualities so es,
sential to make a winning team.
Although this game was only for
practice, yet it serves to encour-
age the boys and confidence for
the numerous contests that are
coming with other high schools.
Every man on the school team
played a good game, and the
team work, rather than the in
dividual playing, is worthy of
note. Charlie Spencer and Clar-
ence Gates were the stars in
scoring, but they were ably sup
ported by the center and guards.
Tilton at right forward for the
army team exhibited a know
ledge of the finer points of the
game, which can only come with
considerable experience.
