 the girls and, boys of Stafford high
 won a decisive victory overgthe Morse Business college quintets on last Fri day evening on the local Y. M. c. court. The visitors were late in ar
 irving and the girls game came first.
 Stafford held the big end of the score until the last few minutes of the last
 half when the visitors succeeded in tying the score Then contrary to all
 rules and precedents and good sports manship the girls of the visiting team refused to continue the game without l first having a much needed rest. Aft CT considerable squabbling and in decision the game was finally declared forfeit and Stafford High girls were victors. In the boys game the mem bers of the team by speedy pass work, accurate shooting and steady team | work piled up a score of 45 points to their opponents 15. TOwne and Quinn were ever ready dependable guards, while Murray at the pivot position kept things moving toward the oppOs- ing goal. Sullivan and Baldwin lost l their opposing guards with easy reg ularity and just as easily lodged the sphere in the basket for twin cOun- ters The game was marked by un-
 usually clever playing on the part of the high school five. Morse team found it necessary to employ all the substitutes in their string. Angley played the last five minutes as guard 1 for the locals and although greatly
 outweighed kept his opponent from
 shooting a single goal. The summary
 of the game is as follows: (Girls time | 20 minutes).
