Harrington closed its basketball sea-
son with FELTON, here last Friday even
ing. The score was overwneimingly large

Quite a number of candidates are re-
porting to Manager COrdrey for prac-
tice to fit themselves for a regular berth
on the high school team. Daily practice
will be held whenever weather conditions
will permit. There are number of re-
crlits out for practice and some of them
look good and may make the regulars
hustle to hold down a job. 1t is sin
cerely hoped that the newly-appointed
manager will be able to place a team
70, lafa -
ton every time they cross bats. There
has always been some little rivalry be-
tween these two towns as to who would
carry off the hOnors, and in most cases
FELTON, has been successful. 1t must not
be. This matter can be accomplished if
the boys will get down and work and
work hard. And when the sun gets the
hottest work that much the harder.
