HANCOCK HIS. CAPTURES
INTERESTING CONTEST
Local High School Defeated in First
Game of Series by 16 to
8 Score.

In game that was replete with
thrills for record-breaking crowd
at the armory last Saturday evening
the Hancock high school basketball
team, champion in it's sub-district, de-
feated the Morris high quintet, title
holder in this sub-district, by 16 to
8 score in the first game of a series.

the two sub-districts in the battle
for district honors. In a preliminary
contest to the boys game the local
girls team defeated the Hancock
bloomer-wearers by a "a to 4 count.
Mary French, as usual, the big scorer
for the Morris six.
From the opening whistle the boys
contest was by far the fastest exhibi-
tion seen on the local floor this sea-
son and during the first three quar-
ters looked to be anyone's game but
in the latter part of the third quar-
ter the Morris team began to weaken
and Hancock had little difficulty In
icing the game during the fourth
period. Both teams played an excell-
ert brand Of basketball and the game
was only won by the virtue of a
slightly superior attack and the stub
born defense of the visitors. Tonight
the two teams will clash again on the
Hancock high school floor. Another
win for Hancock will conclude the
series but a win for Morris will nec-
essitate the playing of another game
