SHEPHERD COLLEGE NOTES.

Nothing mas Dcen ncdrd 1fOm our
friends, the Martinsburg High School
basketball boys, for more than two
days and we are inclined to give Gre
dence to the general report about town
that thew were completely showed un!
der early last Monday night.
Ii seems that our aforementioned
friends ventured forth on a deferred
trip to Shepherdstown and at seven.
thirty had proceeded to the Shepherd
College gymnasium, where they ran
into the fatal storm. II is also averred
that number Of Shepherdstown folks,
including a score of young people who
had an unpleasant remembrance OF
their experience in MartinSburg on
January 10th, beheld the downfall
with malicious satisfaction.
In basketball parlance, the Martins
burg High School team was trounced
by the Shepherd College quint, % to
So. For several minutes after the
whistle sounded the gentle young men
of Martinsburg allowed our boys a lit
tie signal practice which netted twenty
points, but unfortunately slight
techncality forced one of the visitors
to make a free toss at their goal and
thus to mar their hitherto clean slate!
The game proceeded very much after
this fashion throughout the first half,
which ended "a to 6 in favor of Shep-
herd College. The Martinsburg boya
were given the better goal during
the latter half, and at the suggestion
of their coach became somewhat
liveier. They scored II points against
the l9 made by our boys, who seemed
more or less tired of dropping in the
counters. Moler and Davis were lead.
ing point getters, with eleven baskets
each, while Reed and Show tossed in
two each just for luck. For the
visitors Hamman and Fiery made a
few pretty shots, and big rosy-cheek-
ed lad at guard played a very COM
mendable game.
The Shepherd College girls were
not so fortunate last SATURDAY. night
when the Chambersburg High School
girls were met. The game was PLAYED
in quarters and up to the end Of the
third period it looked as if the home
girls were outclassed. The visitors,
however, had played several games.
and Coach Snyder's inexperienced
players were taking their initiation.
BY the fourth quarter the college girls
had lost their timidity, even though
the score was 9 to against them.
Gladys Feagans and Louise Kable took
more active possession of the farther
end of the floor, and by systematic
pass work enabled the forewards to try
their hand at shooting. Sula DeHaven
made field goal, which was i'm
mediately Offset by another on the part
Of the visitors, making the score II to
o. Then Ruth Clipp shot her second
basket, Sula Dehaven made another
and Sara Huyett added one, all whild
Chamoersburg got lone point front
ioul. 1t looked as If time would t6
called with the score tied, but the littl..
forward from Chamoersbure cot a
lucky goal Just before the final whistle.
and thus our girls lost IA to IL.
