There was one young high school fel;

pick All-State teams. The young fell

Buckhannon anything. Stansbury kept

Fai1montin Very Slow
Contest.
By LARRY.)

BUCKHANNoN, March 12.-Fair-
mont was the winner IN her first game
of the tournament staged yesterday
afternoon with the Farmington High
school by the score of 2G-1l, but
there was nothing about the playing
OF Khans men to arouse any great en-
thusiasm on the part of their friends
here. On the contrary, the Fairmont
boys played brand OF ball that was
very disappointing, especially in the
first half of the encounter. shooting
was poor and the general floor work
displayed was very sloppy to say tho
least. 1t may have been the fact that
they were UP against "a very easy
team that made them off form. but
unless they show a great reversal in
form this afternoon or this evening in
their game with Pop Flanagan's
Buckhannon lads they viii be in for
the worst drubbing they have receiy-
ed in a long time.
Coach Kahn used all his men in tho
game before twas over, Small, going
in for Troxe1l and Fleming taking
Browns place in the last few min
utes of play. Hill was the leading
point getter, sS,curing six foul baskets
and getting two out of four from the
foul line. His playing in the second
half was the one redeeming fe.t ,lrc of
the game, which. was slow and tire
some for the start. Neither team
seemed to have any pepper and the
minutes dragged along slowly until
the gun ended the agony.
Donaldson was the star for Farm
ington, getting three field baskets and
PLAYING fairly good game al the
way. The score:
