aiAnoht .. il9tle puuCu' OF uyeQ-lH-
the-wools had happy mysteries last
night. And why mot? What would you
have under the circumstances, the
country being arid?
Down in our heart we have spark
or more of sympathy for Kelcel Ross,
Buckhannon's coach. He is a good
fellow and a good sport, equally com
posed in defeat and victory. But it
does seem he has had more than his
share of hard luck IN state tourna-
mcntss He was runner up two or
three. times, and this year when he
seemed to have sure winner&bings
and out goes the pipe. Don't take
this as indicative that we wanted Fair
mont to lose to Buckhannon. Not al
all, but a simple expression of our adj
miratton for very high class basket
ball coach and gentleman.
The Fairmont rooters came to eve
ming games last night armed with
dish pans, wash pans, and plain pans
They made various and uncanny
sounds with new found instruments
of Harmony" while Sam Rock, cheer
leader, was array d-well to quote the
scriptures, Solomon in all his glory
was mot arrayed,. etc. Rock had
white duck trousers, a green coat, a
blue hat and everything, He sure was
one glorious ,outburst OF conglomera-
ton as to clothes. =,
Sandy ToothmRn knocked 10 years
off his life when Fair1nont beat Buck
harmon and roared like a mad; bull for
two hours, joshing the rabid Buck
hannon fans to death. Sandy was Just
like school boy with new knife,
and we confess we were not far be-
hind in the matter of yelling. We
both had to resort to throat tablets
before supper.
Fairyiow won another game yester.
day from Pennsboro. This morning
they are tostackle Wheeling and should
win again. Fafrview has not yet been
put to any real test of strength, but
will be up against real work today.
Wouldn't It be awful, Mabel, II Fair
mont and Fairyiew hitched up In the
finals tonight Just possS1le that such
thing will happen
Speaking of Sam Rock dolling up
last might, all the birds are doing it.
Tonight when the finals are staged.
1t would seem that there will be, a
riot of color among the official leaders
of the various delegations.
