.FAIRNONT LOSES
TOGRAF TON TEAM
Visitors Almost Nosed Out
in Sensational Game
Last Night
BY LARRY.

Grafton high scnoo! defeated
Fairmont high school last night on
the Normal floor 1891 In a game
that fairly sparkled With sensation.
al plays and intense situations. II
was the best game OF the season
on the local floor from the stand.
point of the spectators, and was not
decided until the very last minute
OF play. With 80 seconds moro 10
play tho Icemen might have at least
tied the count or pulled ahead, SIS
they were running hog wild in the
final minutes and had tho Grafton
bunch on the skids.
The floor last night was very
slippery. Players slid and sIiidded
about like an automobile on III ice.
covered street. Just what happen.
ed to make the playing space in
such condition Is not known. Per.
haps the goods had u danro this
week-at any rate 1t was quite slip
perry. 1t made the game look very
rough at times and SLOWED up the
speed artists q bit.
Pierce. who was sent into the
game late in the first halt for Fair.
mont taking the place Of Garrett
on a forward, was the outstanding
star OF the contest and came near
winning the game single-handed
with six field baskets. He was in
the game up to his neck al! the way,
and some Of his field baskets were
made from difficult angles while
racing down the floor at full speed
Nritchie also played a great game
and was fighting all the way. Kick.
man and Samples starred for tho
visitors. Samples was working
under big handicap after thcNirst
fow minutes by reason of the fact
that his aggressive play han
brought three personal fouls on
him. When he got iammed in this
fashion, he was forced to be very
careful for the remainder OF the
game and devoted too much atten
ton to keeping from making an.
other personal foul to play his best
basketball.
About two.thirds of tho way
through tho first half, Fnirmont
was leading 10.G, hut the Grafton
lads came back strong at the close
OF the period and the half ended
1910 t. favor Of the visitors.
At the start Of tho second half,
Grafton jumped ahead and gained
a seven point advantage. Then
Pierce and Mitchie, together with
Miller and Cole, started the local
fireworks and soon had the lead
cut down to a couple Of points.
From this point on until the fina!
whistle tho race was neck and
neck, with Grafton Just barely able
to keep a point or two ahead by
sensational shots. With minute
and Is seconds to play, Fairmont
sent field basket over, putting the
locals but one point behind at 1921.
Just a few seconds later Grafton
put over foul basket, making the
count 1881. In tho final 30 sec.
ons, the Icemen battled desperately
to make field basket, but the visit.
tors checked their advance. Tho
teams were battling fiercely In mid.

EAST SIDE LOSES
SHINNSTONGAME
Too Many Long Shots
Cause of Jackets
Defeat
BY CLARE.

In fast and interesting game
staged on the East Side floor last
night, shinnston high TOOK the
measure OF Coach Morgan's East
Side tossers by the scure Of 1881
The wonderful passing Of the Har-
rison county players paved the way
for their victory, while in the other
hand the local team tried too many
shots from the middle OF tho floor
when they should have tried to
work the ball near tho baskets.
This proved the undoing Of the East
Siders, as most OF their long shots
went wild, while the small but clev.
er Sh'nnston lads passed the ball
down to tho baskets where theS
were more easily dropped through.
Several shots from tho middle of
the floor were also pulled by the
visitors when at times they failed
to break through the defense OF tho
local five. The visitors. however.
never took a long shot with any
chance of passing the bail in close
TO the baskets.
AT the start OF tho game the "Yel.
low,Jackets" started out to a good
lead and for a time 1t looked as IL
the final score would look like some
ones telephone number, but the
Harrison county tosscrs never let
the score bother them and kept on
passing and dropping them In, and
when the first half ended they were
leading 21-l7.
Shinnston started the second
half with a field goal and East Side
managed to come through with two
field goals, Gagged from the center
by Stealey and Criss In succession.
Another ono by Layman made tho
count % all. Shinnston came right
back with two in a row taking the
lead 27-23. From this moment uE.
til the final whistle the visitors
held tho lead. In the last two min.
utes OF play the East Siders fought
hard to win but the lead that the
visitors had was too much for them
and when the whistle blew they
wero Just thrco points behind.
The shooting of Crawford and
PyIes, tho pair OF Shinnston for
wards, was tho main factor In tho
winning Of the game for the Harri-
son COunty five, while Laymau and
Hill did tho bulk Of the work for
the losers.
