Windy Hill School

The Windy Hill school held an
entertainment and pie social Friday
evening, Jan. 10, it being a grand
success. The house was more than
full. Side boards were badly need
ed on the rear end to hold some of
them in. 1t began to look as if all
the fiddlers. banjo and guitar play
ers from three counties had been
engaged to furnish the music for
the occasion. Some are wondering
where they all came from. Talk
about your good pies and old time
''fiddlin,' " they sure had it with all
the trimmings on.
There was not any one there that
felt himself over 16 years old. All
certainly enjoyed themselves and
wished for many more such gather
ings soon. 1t certainly revives the
good old social spirit.-XX.

N. & N. PUTS UP FIGHT

Playing their first game away from
home, M. & MS five lost to Newark
Hi by IA to s score. The small
floor made impossible the organized
defense usually practiced by the
local quintet, and hampered team
work. The Newark athletes being
accustomed to the miniature court,
showed great ability in shifting
from offensive to defensive play,
whenever they lost possession Of
the ball. Coach Fast's men scored
only one field goal from scrimmage,
as compared with five ringers by the
Newark team. Both teams resorted
to considerable rough playing, but
this did not slow up the game, ow-
ing to the leniency Of the referee.
Jenkins was the defensive star of
the contest, playing his customary
and Hooper were the only players
able to score for the Red and
White.
Lynn and Hollister were New
ark's outstanding men on the Of
fensive, each scoring two fields,
while the former also chalked up
four foul goals. Lineup and sum-

MALTA N. E.'s WIN CLOSE
GAME WITH MEREDITH

The fast basket ball game last
Thursday night at the armory be-
tween the Malta NJ E. dribblers
and the Meredith tossers from
GAINESVILLE, ended so everlastingly
close, that it took the last second
of play to determine the winner.
However, the Malta bunch finished
with the lengthy end of Is to 16
score. In the beginning of the
game the up river boys seemed to
have it on the locals, ending the
first half with score in their favor
Of 13 to Z. In the beginning of the
second half it would appear that
the GAINESVILLE rimmers were trying
to float Had they put up the same
scrap they did in the first half,
there is not much question but
that they would have won. How
ever, the Malta M. Els went in to
make a whirlwind finish, and after
some of the hardest and fastest
playing of the season on the local
floor, they Gagged enough baskets to
even the score, then in the closing
minutes made a foul goal, and also
bucketed a field, but no sooner had
they gotten the three-point lead
than the visitors looped a field
the only point they made in the
second half. In the closing seconds
of play both teams did their best
to score, but neither did. While
the Malta quintet put up a great
game, they were a little off their US
ual form in shooting baskets. The
Meredith boys played good guard
ing game, and in the first half
made some baskets. Mr. Lee Smith
of Malta, who is taking vocational
training at Meredith, is manager,
and the surprising thing is. where
did he get them? Several Zanes-
vile teams have played here this
season, and none showed up any
better. if as good as this one did.
