ing the Central High tossers the
worst beating they have ever re-
ceived. Not since Central put a team
on the floor In 1918 has the Blue
and White gotten such an unmercful
drubbing. The Westerners ended a
II to ~ game with Central down and
out and practically ,,eipiess, standing
almost flatfooted while the Red and
White players rang In basket after
basket. a-..
Western played by far the best
game of the series. In passing and
dribbling the Red and White lads
had II all over Central. In the first
quarter the Westerners ended up
with an to l count, not a Central
basket being counted from the floor.
The half ended II to 8 in Westerns
favor, Central being allowed to
practically run it's team ragged
against the Western defense.
ARGUMENT STARTS.
An impromptu argument between
coaches and faculty advisers as TO
the officials interchanging between
halves succeeded in not only holding
up the engagement for twenty MIN
utes. but thoroughly Disguised the
men appointed to handle the game.
Central crawlcd up on Western
just after the second half started
but soon lost headway. With the
score standing at % to II and three
quarters gone. Captain Conard un-
corked an offense that literally
swept Central off the floor,
With Jeffress. Burke and Conard
working plays as smoothly as though
Central players were not on the floor,
"a minute proposition for the re-
mainder of the game.
Central strove valiantly to stop the
Westerners but were wholly unable
to cope with the fast flying Red and
White players who shot from all an
giles with consumate ease. There was
deal of luck in some OF the West
ern shots but with Nicolson invari-
ably getting the tap on Dey and
Burke feeding Conard and Jeffress
the score rolled up.
COWARD IN FORM.
Lemon played a good game for
Central as did Morgan. Conard. how
ever succeeded in holding Lemon to
two floor baskets and shot six him
self. Jeffress led the basketers with
eight from the floor.

cinched second place in the first half Of

Monsignor Naslin, who has mir

celebrated shrine Of Our Lady Of
Pompeii, and is to travel to Rome
shortly.
Interviewed Immediately after he

the methods by which the Turks
are Systematically attempting 10

instances Of Ottoman cruelty. At
Khodoreiner a number OF women,
including quite young girls. were led
TO the edge of the precipice over
hanging a roaring torrent and told
that they must renounce their re-
ligion or be pushed off the cliff. One
after the other, after a short prayer,
the women proclaiming aloud the
name Of Christ. hurled themselves
bravely TO a horrible death. Many
hundreds were thus sacrificed in a
few minutes.
Twenty eight sisters suffered mar
tyrdom at Trebizond. One of the
victims was left for many hours dy-
ing in the street. and no ope was
allowed 10 help or comfort her. A
very handsome young nun who had
excited the bestial admiration of
her prosecutors. defended herself
strenuously and finally had her face
battered into a bleeding pulp with
heavy stones. Six sisters of Marsi-
van, sentenced to perpetual exile,
were murdered in cold blood as soon
as they passed the gates of the town,
and 15 sisters deported from Ire
bizond, after months of ill-treat-
ment, were cut to pieces with axes
in the mountain pass of Karput.
Torture Little Children.
Little boys and girls. even babies
have been horribly tortured and
crippled, their martyrdom lasting
long hours for the delectation OF
the Turkish fiends. The Armenian
priests were especially singled out
for cruel and lingering deaths
among the victims are Fathers An
thony Saraidaman, Joseph Bartuni
Leontius Ninassian, VartOn BaChe-
