periods day. With this plan half of
the period will be given to study in the
class room and it will be directed by

class period will be devoted to regular
class work. The plan is to be just for

Friday the 18th mysteriously affected
the Edgerton high school basketball

basket on free throw. Capt. Bick
followed this with field goal, making
the score 80 in JaEesvilie's favor.

first point for Edgerton Then came
Hadden's opportunity to even up the
score, using his head and quietly slip
ping the ball through the basket to tie
the score. The game was at high pitch
and no scores were made for either
side for several minutes. The James
vile center, shooting from the middle
of the floor, added another two points
for GAINESVILLE The GAINESVILLE rooters
now seemed confident of victory From
this time until the final whistle James
vile had the long end Of the score. The
first half ended 9-5 in Janesville's favor
The second half started with the same
pep. Fouls were called continually on
both sides. 1t seemed as though both
teams were in for blood. Capt Bick
of GAINESVILLE added baskets to James
ville's score, while Hadden did his
share to help Edgerton. Hadden made
all the baskets for Edgerton high, play
ing hard, consistent game, showing
his value to his team. In fact, all the
Edgerton players fought hard but the
luck was against their making baskets
and they became discouraged. The
teams exhibited excellent guarding;
this can be seen by the score which is
almost impossible for two fast teams
on a small floor GAINESVILLE has without
doubt good team, but the hoodoo
which has ruled Edgerton teams in the
past has never been overcome.
