The high school basket ball team
were defeated at Grafton last Thurs.
day the 22nd by a score of 81 to IA.
The Grafton bunch were small but
fast and the boys think it was their
ability to skate on a slippery floor
and not their basket shooting that
won the game. The Langdon bunch
did not play as we'll as usual but
scored every time they got a shot.
They could not seem to warm up,
however, after their eighteen ssmile
drive from Park River.
On Friday the 23rd the Langdor
boys partly redeemed themselves by
defeating the Park River A. G. by 6
score of 26 to %. 1t was a closely
contested game and a hard fight, the
Aggies being three points in the leat
at the end of the first half, the
second half ended in a tie of FL t

With Broken Right Arm

EATON, O., May 17.-For a week
or 10 days Maynard Wehrley, 81, To-
cal man, driver of an army truck used
in county road work, worked with
broken right arm and did not know
1t. He does not know when or how
he sustained it, he says.
The only manner in which Wehrley
can imagine he suffered the injury
was in shifting the gears of the big
truck He says the arm gave him
trouble during the night but that he
was able to go to work the next day.
Finally he went to a physician, who
discovered the bone in the forearm
was broken. He had been wearing a
heavy strap brace on his wrist.
