Buckhannon News Notes

BUcKHANNoN, W. Va, March IL.
That bunch from Omaha sure did
show the Wesleyan boys few points
about long distance shooting and also
some of the neatest passing the writ
or has ever looked at.
1t would have been another story
and sad one for Buckhannon had
the Creighton lads not staked the
home boys to such a big lead before
starting to play basketball.
1t was great crowd that attended
the game and full OF pepper all the
way.
Pierre Hill was almost starved to
death when he arrived here. Did not
have time for supper in Weston, poor
boy.
Coach Boyer was wearing crouch
last night. He stated that he had to
stand nearly all the way from Clarks-
burg to Weston. That Is enough to
make any person sore.
Kelcel Ross, Buckhannon High
coach, was wearing large smile last
night. Must feel that the Flanagans
will pull him through to another
championship.
Theer sure is a great crowd in this
city. "Shu" will have his hands full
trying to take care Of the mat the
games.
Haley of the Creighton team is
wonderful shot, and he gets away
with his shots in such an easy style
that the most difficult look very easy
from thee side lines.
Two old mainstays Of the Busy Bee
hash house must have retired early
last night. Neither Brown or Troxell
had reported for anything to eat up
until 1880, which is quite late in
this section.
This is an honest town. No res

WESLEYAN IS
WINNER AFTER
GREAT BATTLE
Creighton team Shows Some
Great Basketball Abil-
ity in Contest.
.lRx LARRY.l


BUCKHANoN, March In one
of the greatest basketball games ever
staged on any floor in the country
West Virginia Wesleyan nosed out
Creighton university here last night
1888, while crowd that filled every
available space in the Wesleyan GYM
nasium roared its approved of the
sterling exhibition OF basketball put
on by the rival teams.
The visitors from Omaha permitted
the home team to get big lead in the
first half of the game, and to this fact
they may attribute their defeat. In
the second period Creighton displayed
a fighting spirit that was simply won
.derful and came within an ace Of win
ming the contest.
With few minutes of the first half
gone the score was 1873 in favor Of the
home team and when the half way
mark was reached Wesleyan was
ahead 21.12. With about 10 minutes
OF the second half out of the way,
Creighton had reduced the lead Of the
home bunch to 1923, and from that
stage on until the crack Of the gun
ended the game 1t was any Persons
game.
Fisher and Johnson were the head
liners for Wesleyan, johnson making
six baskets from the field and Fisher
five, while Johnson shot five out of
10 from the foul line.
Haley was the bright indiviSlal star
for the visitors, getting no less than
eight field. baskets all from long
range. He is one of the most sensa-
tional shots the writer has ever seen
and keeps the opposition on needles
and pins all the time.
Wesleyan fans were mighty glad
when the gun ended the struggle as
the visitors outclassed the local lads
in the second chapter. The details:

AFRAID OF RAIN.

Coach Boyer, of the Fairview

Of rain. He never fails to take the

he boarded the 2 o'clock car for

the faithful umbrella was securely
fastened to his suit case.

Shroyer worked the big basketball
game last night. He had a hard job,
but handled the big game in a man
ner that gave entire satisfaction.
Stark and Ross were out of the
game last night for Wesleyan, and
this may have accounted for the fact
that Creighton made such fine
showing in the second half.
The ysay there are still big dele
cations to come. The town will be
as crowded as the boardwalk at At

Owing to the fact that this is a big

hotel keeps open until midnight. Sure

Fleming and Troxell got into an
argument last night as to what team
they played second. Better get the
first game out OF the way. One at a
time, boys, one at time.
Speaking of Fleming, the first
thing he df6 when he got in town
was to inquire at the hotel about the
hat he lost on the last trip. The hat
is still among the missing.
