derful Record at Games

high lassies in tho state tournament
at Spencer they made the following
scores c7s1S against Triadelphia, 56-
ii against st. Adams and 37-16 against
Huntington, winning all these games
and besides taking every prize offered
at the tournament, 1t is little wonder
that the Wheeling girls were given
great reception when they arrived
back home. The Wheeling Intelligence

manner in which the girls were re-
ceived:
Songs were sung and cheers rans
aloud when the train from Spencer w.
Va, arrived in Wheeling yesterday af-
ternoon at AIS bearing the victorious
Wheeling high school lassies, who took
all honors at the Spencer basketball
tournament and also romped away
with the state title in easy fashion.
They were accompanied by the Tn.
adelphia district high lassies, whom
the gold eliminated early Saturday
morning. Although they were beaten
the Triad" girls were real sports ana

feated and that the Gold and Blue had
