SLOW FILING BONDS
Mayor-Elect Keigley Only
One Thus Far To File
Bond With City
Auditor

Although all city officers who were
elected in November assume their du-
ties on January 1, none, with the ex-
ception of Mayor-elect Keigley, have
filed their official bonds with the ci-

exception to this requirement. The
city treasurer is made the custodian
of the bond OF the city auditor.
For the majority of officials of the
city the bond required is $1,000. The
bond of the auditor is $4,000, while
that of the city treasurer is $4,000.
City Auditor Gates, while confess
ing to the tardiness of his fellow Of
f1cials in filing their bonds with him

fident assurance that the bonds will
be filed with him in proper manner
and form by all those who must give

One OF Most Exciting Games
Ever Played On Local
Y. Floor
ALUMNI WINNERS BY
80 TO 81 SCORE
Game Full OF Interest From
Start To Finish; Line-Up
And Summary
(By Fred hayesl

In the mcst strenuously fought floor
skirmish ever witnessed here between
alumni and high school teams, the
alumni basketball five succeeded IL
nosing out the orange and black quin-
tet 3S to 81 at the Y. M. c. A. We'd
nesday night.
With only a few seconds to go be-
fore the expiration of play, Forward
Eawlins of the alumni shot under
meath the high school basket and
counted on short toss, giving the
grads one-point edge and victory.
The early stages of the struggle
found the two teams battling on even
terms, neither side doing much scor-
ing. Then the orange and black ath-
gradually pulled away from the ex-
high school stars. With Mt. Vernon
high riding on top Of 20-11 count at
the halfs end, it looked like the game
was Gin" for the high cagers.
Long Shcts Responsible
TO the surprise of the fans, the
alumni tossers came back in the Sec
ond round with virulent kick and
! Immediately closed up on the high
floor men. Although Mt. Vernon
high maintained slight lead over her
opponent until the last minute, it
could have been either teams game
down the home stretch. The men,
bers of both teams battled with all
they had in them.
| Few more spectacular exhibitions
of long distance shooting have been
seen on the home floor than that CIV
en- by Ralph Wright, the alumni GEN.
ter, in the second half of the contest.
Wright Gagged seven counters in the
| final half. Three or four of his goals
were slipped over from the opposite
end of the floor. They were the kind
of shots that flve-man defense was
utterly helpless before.
Alumni a Strong Outfit
The personnel the alumni had as
sembled to provide Mt. Vernon high
school with workout prior to the
opening of her regular schedule con
sttuted an all-star aggregation. Ralph
Wright, Don Collie, Hub" Masteller

at the practice bout. Although it was
not packed as at regularly scheduled
