Seniors Defeat
Juniors by % to 16

The Junior team, thus far vic
torious, was defeated by the re-
organized Senior team, both of
the Academy class league, Mon
day evening in the F. A. A. The
final score stood 22-l6. The Sen
iors were fortunate in having two
of last years first string men
play for them, namely "Mike'
Moore at guard and "Stub" Har-
vev at forward. With this fast adj
dition they placed themselves at
the head of the league along with
the Junior five, each team having
won three games and lost one.
The first period was all in favor
of the Seniors. Goss, shooting
fouls for the Juniors, had unusual
ly poor luck in caging the ball,
otherwise the score at the end Of
the period, II to a, might have
been closer. At the beginning Of
the second period, however, the
Juniors suddenly round the basket
and tied the score, only to have
Moore break the tie in favor Of the
Seniors by a we'll earned basket.
TIL games played by the class
teams are real good, fast, clean
games, and not the old rough
andtumble trays that once wcre
in vogue.

A FREQUENT
CAUSE OF FIRES

Overheated cook stoves and fur
naces cause many fires at this time
of year This peril is created not
merely by efforts to force a fire
for heating purposes on a cold
day, but even more by careless
ness with drafts. Many people
will open wide all DRIFTS and
hampers of a stove or heater, ami
then forget all about it and leave
the house or go to bed.
If chimney has good draft,
a tremendously stron" air current
is sweeping through that stove or
heater, and a smoke pipe may be-
come red hot. If any wood
touches the same, it is likely to
catch fire. If people are in the
house and awake they usually
smell an overheated condition, and
take care of it. But if they have
left the place, or have gone to
sleep, the situation is a perilous
one
