first game on the trip. and the result
was in last weeks Register. Thursday
night the Allegheny County High
School defeated us in Cumberland, IS
to 10, in a slow and poorly played game.
During the game the referee called for
ty-seven fouls, twenty-six OF them be-
ing on us, and our boys were afraid
to touch the ball for fear the whistle
would blow. Ii was practically impos,
sible to work any offensive at all. for
whenever we did get started there
would be a foul and that just naturally
took the heart out OF the youngsters
Not one of the fouls called in this
game was a personal foul, which shows
that while the referee was strict he
was not looking in the right direction.

Keyser and that night played the Prep
Sshool there. They walked right away

better for us il we had come on home.
for again we lost, 81 TO IS The same
iinx that held us at Keyser was still
present and while our password was
superior to that of Elkins we seemed
unable to make the points necessary
to win and down we went. Bell, the
center of our team, made each Of our
fifteen points in this game, getting four
field goals and seven out of ten fouls.
Last night the girls team went to
Martinsburg and lost there. <23 to 20.
