trict tournament. Rioters were freSl
I with pep and enthusiasm which fairly
! racked the rafters of the Coliseum
5 Somebody furnished time-keeper
Ed N. Wilson, with two cannon t
u announce the end of each period o
= the games. Ed had quite a nice tim.
e with the guns every time he attempted
II to shoot them. Evidently they wer
u Civil war relics, because they seldom
went off without pulling the trigge
a five or six times. Ed announced tina
. he was going to bring a real gun 70
q the remaining games.
y Whitley Kessler, of the Richmon
Il team, was chuch full of pep and rougl
!, ! stuff. He sailed around over tn
- floor and broke up play after play
~ :, and ripped down the floor to pas
~ to his teammates. He really furr
ished amusement for the fans.

- we win? and answering, yes. Som
brave fan ventured to say No wa
high in the gallery and he was tn
center of verbal attack by the ARA
of loyal Richmond rooters near hin
p Wyrick and Swope are good o
p ficials. They keep the rough stui
A down, to a great extent and the game
are all interesting
