WINS
FROM U. T.FIYES

Friday and Saturday in Bartlett
gymnasium was held the first Of
what promises to be a series of an
nual Basketball Championship Tour
naments for the secondary schools
of East Tennessee. Twelve High
Schools were represented by teams.
The entrants were Central High of
Knox county, Chilhowee Institute,
Knoxville High, Eenoir City High,
Louisville High, Madisonville High,
Maryville East Side, Maryville Poly
technic, Newport High, Porter High,
Tennessee Military Institute of
Sweetwater, and Wheat High. Near
ly one hundred high school boys
were entered in the meet. In the
process of elimination which was to
determine the championship Central
High and Knoxville High were left
to play off the finals but, due to a
previous agreement which the two
Knox county schools had arrived at,
they elected to defer the play-off
till later in the season when they
will meet for the city championship
of Knoxville. A splendid spirit of
good Nsportsmanship characterized
the tournament. The very highest
praise belongs to the Y M. C. A. of
the college which launched the
scheme for the tournament and
worked it's through to it's compile
tion.
Friday night, as an interlude in
the tournament play, the Maryville
College Basketball Fives, both mems
and women's, met the University of
Tennessee teams on the local court.
The coed game, which was played off
first was an overwhelming victory
for the College girls. The final
score was 34-6.
The mems game also went to
Maryville by the unmistakable mar
gin of 23-11. 1t has been many q
day since Maryville crowd has so
thoroughly enjoyed the sweetness of
revenge. This game was never for
a moment in doubt. The expert
ence gained by the College quintet
on their spectacular swing around
the Kentucky circuit had put them
in fine fettle for this, their most
coveted victory. No Maryville sup
porter doubts what the outcome
would be if return game could be
played on the Y. M. C. A. floor in
Knoxville.

A really worth while meeting will
be held by the Kiwanis club Friday
night of this week. The time will
be devoted to real business and the
time-killing stunts that have char
acterized most of the meetings of
the club since its organization in
December, will be eliminated from
the meeting Friday night, so that
every one of the fifty-three members
is expected to be present, accompa-
MED by a guest whom he is instruc-
ted by the committee to bring, as
suggested in a letter being mailed
to the members.
r. R. Kramer is chairman for the
Friday night meeting, and he and
the Chamber of Commerce commit
tee recently named at the club, rave
prepared a program of speaking by
a representative of the United States
Chamber of Commerce from Wash
ington, and also some of the livest
business men of the Knoxville
Chamber of Commerce. This meet
ing means much to the present and
future development of Maryville,
and every member is urged to at
tend. 1t is hoped to have 100
Maryville and Alcoa citizens present
Friday night.
The Kiwanis club can be made a
great civic institution if the members
will all line up and follow out a
broad program of upbuilding, and it
! iss believed that in this club is the
nucleus for the organization of a
aistling Chamber 81 Commerce.
(which can do much to bring new In
dustries to Maryville.

than any other town in East Tennes-

BIG MEETING
FRDAYNIGHT
Organization of Chamber Of Commerce
For Maryville VIII be Proposed
Representative of u. S. Chamber, from
Washington, will be here

see for getting big industries here,
but because of the lack of interest
and cooperation that has character
lied the town in days gone by,
Maryville did not bring any new
manufacturing plants here in 1919,
though other towns of the state are
boasting of the large increase in
their lists of industries. Maryville's
industries grew and expanded, but
the town needs more industries, and
unless there is organized effort on
the part of the business interests,
other towns will outstrip this town,
despite the fact that our opportuni-
ties are unexcelled by any.
Every man invited to attend is ex-
pected to be at the meeting Friday
night. The time will be spent ad-
vantageously and you will not feel
that the hour has been wasted when
you go away.
Be there and be a booster, for
there is going to be live Chamber of
Commerce organized, and you can
not fail to be one of it's members.
And while we are boosting our
town and processing to have the best
in East Tennessee, as we have, let
US not forget that towns are not
built on hot air and proclamations
of bigness and Importance, but
towns develop through spirit of
cooperation and hard work on the
part of every citizen, and when we
stop and consider seriously our eff
forts in the past few yearsFto make
q hgger and better town.; sozopexaz
tive work has been an unknown
quantity in Maryville, and we have
been practically standing still 1t is
up to the business men to remedy
this condition.
