thrills. and eliminated In 4 climax at
the very last when, with one point
needed. Cook took n long shot, growing
the ball perfectly, the final whistle
blowing as the ball flew through the
air.
Mac" Pitts undcrstudies bidded fair
to duplicate their former feat, the WIS.,
tors shooting eight points rapidly The
better part of the half was over before
the Spiders looked like winners, and
when the half ended they had ap-
preached to within five points OF tying
the score.
While the first period was fast and
rough the second half found the teams
fairly flying over the floor, with Referee
Motley calling many fouls In fact.
ten OF the Cadets points were regis,
tered off fouls. only one basket being
shot.
No one man starred for either team
above his fellows. but all deserve rec
oCnition. there being very little lacking
to consider the affair ideal. Both
teams fought ficrccly. with the second
half giving the Spiders an edge on the
engagement as whole. This is evil

Peggy Talks to Porky

DOGGY had promised Dodo. the comi-
cal clown. that she and Billy would
help TO teach his pigs to be good actors.
Sne had made the promise In a hurry
when the circus owner had told Dodo
the pigs must learn their tricks by that
night or else go to make a pork pie for
the circus dinner on the following Sun
day. But as Peggy thought over the
promise, she wondered how she was
going to keep II. The pigs looked like
stupid pupils. Dodo hadn't been able
TO teach them their tricks and perhaps
she and Billy couldn't.
,"I'll get the pigs lined UP in schoo
all ready to be taught" cried Dodo, his
cheerful grin coming back as the circu,
owner walked out of the tent. But tn,
pigs mad seemingly. become more dul
than before and he had to pick up eacr
one and put 1t on the stool where 7,
belonged. There they looked very un.
happy and Peggy. as she thought of the
pork pie fate that awaited them II they
didn't learn their tricks. felt sorry FOL
them.
You poor piggy-wiggies. I suppose 1,
isn't your fault II you haven't brains
enough to learn circus tricks" she said
half to herself, but loud enough for the
pigs to hear. The pigs pricked UP their
ears and looked at her with quick
curiosity. But IL you don't learn your
into pork pies and that will be the end
OF you," Peggy went on.
At that the pigs set UP a most dole
full squealing and big tears ran down
their faces.
"wee-wee-wee We don't want to be
made into pork pies" they walled.
