Capture District Title, 28-9,
Through Brilliant Playing
of Goetz and CatIin.

The spectacular shooting Of Goetz and
Soloman, who got seven baskets from
scrimmage between them, and the superb
guarding of Catlin gave the Y. M c. A
Yankees the needed impetus to gain a
victory over Aloysius and subsequent
ly win the District basket ball cham
pionship, in the Ryan gymnasium last
night, % to 9.
The game was featured by the shoot
ing of GOetZ, who made three baskets
from the middle of the court and one
from near that point Goetz also gave
a rare exhibition of guarding. Burns,
the AloySiuS center, was the nucleus of
his team. The tall lad, although he Gagged
only one basket from the court played
one of the best guard games seen in
these parts in long while. O'Lone put
up a good defensive game and the out
come would have been radically diff
ferent with a little more luck in shoot
ing.
Could Not Make Easy Shots.
Both teams were off in making easy
shots the church boys had no trouble
getting the bail down to their section
of the court, but were unable to pocket
the ball. The Yankees gained their
points in long and back-handed shots,
only three easy shots being registered.
The Aloysius boys were outconditioned
in the first half and the "Y'' lads had
little trouble running the score up to
81 points while Aloysius was caging
baskets.
When the two teams returned after
intermission they seemed to have lost
their ability to shoot The second half
lacked none of the spirited play that
partly featured the first: in fact, the two
teams played defensively rather than
Extensively. The Aloysius men were
able to score only 1 point in the final
period. foul shot by Atherton account
ing for this. The Yankees were held to
Z points in this half.

DEAD TOWN IS
PLACE SHUNNED

Community Suffering From
Such a Reputation Is Avoid.

Stay away from that town. It's a
dead one"
Do you want that to be said OF
your town. OF course you don't for
you wish, as matter Of local pride Il
for no other reason, to have your
town stand high in the estimation OF
the world. But are you sure that YOU
are doing everything in your power
to place your town in the position
which you wish to occupy? That is the
question that every person should ask
himself or herself at frequent inter
walls.
When things are running smoothly
when times are good, and when it is
fairly easy to make good living for
the wife and kiddies, it is so easy for
man to forget that these things do
not come to town as a matter of
course, but are the result of the
right kind of effort on the part of the
citizens of the community. 1t is so
, easy for a man to grow careless and
think that because this condition ex-
listed it will continue to exist without
any effort on his part or that of the
other residents of the community
That is why it is important for every
one to stop and think seriously once
in while about what it would mean
to him if the prosperity that makes
life worth living for him should take
wings and fly away.
Nobody Loves a Dead Town.
Nobody likes to live in dead town.
No one even likes to visit dead town
That is why you sometimes hear that
warning, "Stay away from that town.
It's dead one" The town which has
the reputation of being a dead one
suffers as if from a pestilence. Bust
ness men seeking new locations will
have none of it. The live travelling
salesman, even, will give It wide
berth. Those who live in it will get
away if they can.
When town is live and prosperous

town itself or of the country sur
rounding it. The man who does not
care whether he lives in live or :,
dead town, if there is such a man,
need waste no thought on the sub
ject, but the man who wants to live
in live town cannot get away from
