NORMAL LOSES
DOUBLE HEADER

Union College brought to Richmond
Saturday evening two of the best
basket ball teams that have been seen
on the local floor in many seasons.
Both the boys and girls teams have
been practicing since school began
last September and as result they
took both games from the Normal
School teams.
The local girls played an excellent
game during the first half, but were
somewhat handicapped during the
last half because of the necessity of
playing according to different rules
from which they have been practic-
ing. The final score was ID to s.
When the whistle sounded an
nouncing the beginning of the boys
game it looked as if Eastern had the
edge on the visitors. During the first
half, Stone, forward for Eastern, kept
the local boys in the running by Gag
ing three field goals and pitching two
fouls. Shortly after the second half
began the Union boys started some
excellent passing and shooting that
son ran the score away from the local
lads. Coach Hembree used several
substitutes in an effort to check the
scoring and was successful after
shifting his men two or three times.
The final score was 81 to 13.
Gentry refereed the girls game,
while Carter officiated during the
boys game. A great crowd was in

So l have had to resort to all kinds or experiments for changing the culin- ary flavor of the various kinds of fish Here is a way l have dis covered to change the flavor of sal mon, and he likes it very much:
 Pour the liquor from a can of sal mon (the liquor is not used in this recipe) and measure the salmon (you will need one cup of i). Now put into a small saucepan whole cloves, 1 medium-size onion sliced, l piece of mace, a very little allspice, and enough vinegar to cover them; let this mixture boil for five minutes, then pour it over the drained salmon which has been broken into small Let cool, then stand the bowl, just as it is, in your refrigerator for one or two days, when it will be ready for use. I call this dish Picked Sal mon' It is delicious and does not taste like salmon at all hope other women who must cook fish for someone who doesn't like the fish flavor, will try it. Other fish which have been previously fried in olive oil any kind of solid fish-may be substituted for the salmon in this dish, I find, but are perhaps not quite as delicious as the salmon"
