good basketball game without charge
Monday Bright wheA the new Normal
gymnasium will be dedilated. Waynes
burg college and the Normal lads will
clash. The public is invited to come
to this game and inspect the new gym
nasium.
Doc" Garrett worked the Normal
d. C e. game last night. His work
was Of high order and the old boy
-. : Can sep around the floor when
he has to.
/ 1t has been announced that Grove
City and Marietta will meet on. the
! grtdiron next fall. The game Will be
played at Marietta and will be one of
the maor games of the season.
The D. & E. tossers play in Marietta
this evening, and after the hard bat
ties they have been through the last
few days 1t will tax them to the. limit
TO show much form against the fast
bunch Neale has whipped together.
Coach Kann has some very promis.
ing material on his high school squad
and with a little more hard practice
1 sessions the locals will stand good
chance of making fine record this
season. Pierre Hill, who plays center
is undoubtedly a coming star. with
! proper coaching this lad Is bound to
mako great record, providing he
keeps iu condition and tends TO bus
mess, not allowing his success to turn
his head. HELPS work last night in
the ParFersburg game was very good
and his ability to pull at critical
times. gives much strength to his
team.
( Some where between the east and
west or north and south there may
be better and smoother all around
man on a basket ball floor than our
own Jimmie knight, but If so that
:. guy will have to show US. When
1t Gomez 10 getting around the floor
md gently dropping the ball in the
basket from any old angle or position
Knight just walks away with the first
prize without any person asking ques-
tons.
| Toward the last of the Parkersburg
! F'airmont game last night Coach Kah.
removed Red" Dean from the game
giving q substitute chance to
strengthen his legs. Dean was rath-
er peeved about the matter and sput-
: tered around for several minutes. This
7 kind OF stuff should not be tolerated.
Dean will learn If he gets to college
! that talking back when the coach or
ders you out Is poor business, and he
might just as well learn his lesson
now and save himself trouble later on.
There were three young women at
the gnme last night who were not
afraid to root for, Parkersburg on
Fairmont'S floor. One of them was
armed with. dumb bell and each
time Parkersbuyg scored. she called
attention to the fact by banging away
on the floor with the above named
weapon
Pete Hamilton was sure playing a
whale of a game at guard last night
for the Normal. Every time d G
E. man would come down the floor
old Ham" would be right on his back.
Parkersburg High school lost many
chances to score last night, because
they passed too much instead of tax
ing chances on shooting the ball into
the basket. Several good bets along
this line were overlooked by the Wis
itors.
The crowd arrived early at the game
last night. Attempts to collect for
the second game from thoes who came
for the first game and decided to stay
for the second met with poor success.
The out of bound rule during the
first half of the high school battle dM
not slew up the contest. Referee Ken
ma Clark was blowing his whistle prao
ttcally all the time.
Weston will be the next champion
ship battle for Coach Kahn's men,
the Westonites coming down here
some day next week TO fight it out
with the locals.
A change has been made in the
Varsity football schedule. Bethany
takes the place of Allegheny on the
gridiron program. We don't need to-
sit mp nights worrying about this
change of plan.
