The sad news OF the death Of lanes
o. Watson, Of Three Churches, w.
Va, has just come to us. Mr. Watson
comp eted his course here in 1916, for
several years was principal of large
| school in Mcdowell county, then
| served the government on a dredging
| vessel used to deepen harbors of the
eastern coast during war times, and
later engaged by the fertilizer depart
ment OF Swift and Company. About
year ago he was compelled to give
up the work on account of i'll health.
His death came during the holiday sea-
son, on December 80, due to cancer Of
| the stomach.
Last Friday evening there was a live
ly contest between the Young College
Stars and the Old College Stars Not
many Of the Old Stars twinkled how
ever-at first only four appeared on
the floor, but among the spectators two
more were discovered Thomas Reed
had king's-ex from his regular holiday
| pleasure long enough to see the game
! and James Thompson, that is, tho
| senior James, was there from Three
Churches. The latter was prevail ed
upon 10 60 in as guard, in which posi-
| ton he was known as "Stonewall" in
times gone by. There were several
| other old boys in town who claimed
still to be able to amble about the
| court, though far be it from the Reg
lster to say much in explanation of
+ their absence from the scene of con-
hict- In passing, we may express re-
greet that one was laid up with a equity
toe and another is said to have been
Ill from a collie of his second infancy.
AT any late, the game was started In
addition to Thompson ready mention
ed. the old boys had William Rush,
OF Cumberland, Fairmont and else
where, Hammond Staley, of Maybeury,
the spectacular forward and center Of
1913 and 1914, and Dr. Knode, of the
Shepherdstown Public Schools, once
called "Tubby," though we have neveI
been able to learn why or by whom the
endearing name was first applied Nc
Ciure Mo err, a more recent graduate,
counted number five for the Old Stars.
but by the way he frisked about and
tried to carry the greater part of his
teams burden one could see that he
hardly deserved to be called an "old"
star.
AT first 1t seemed that the little
boys would average a goal a minute,
almost but not quite, so Coach Leege
Withdrew young Krode, Walper, C. etus
Lowe and Maddox and sent in Crowl,
Robinson, Reinhart and Rudolph Lowe.
Things went we'll until along in the
second half, when the Old Stars showed
that the eye lacked not the old cum
| n ng nor the hand the Old skill In
fact, things looked shaky, the former
squad went in with fresh wind and
| saved the game BY the margin of one
!ield goal, 10 to II. Johnson PLAYED
at center for the College throughout
Sta'ey scored - points, Mplcr 4 and
<node for our good friends, the Old
stars. Cletus Lowe, from a guard
| position in less than half game made
points for the youngsters, Tohn-
9Dn counted q, Crowl 3 and Walper
and Kenneth Knode 2 each.
The game was very interesting all
