Rockville High
Houston and Ortez Star With
Fast Floor Work as Locals
Win 30 to 9

The Alexandria High School
team defeated Rockville last night
on the Armory court by a 80
to . score in a rather one-sided
affray.
The Alexandria boys were on
the jump from the first and their
lead was never threatened dur
ing the game. The first half end
ed with score of II to 2.
The floor work and shooting of
HouS on and Ortez, Alexandria's
forwardS, was a feature of the
game.
Alexandria displayed a much
better game than it did in its
last attempt when it played the
Orioles last Friday. The team,
however, is not contented with
letting we'll enough alone, but
has series of new plays which
II promises to spring when it
again tackles the Orioles Satur-
nay night as a preliminary to
he 4. l.. l. Yankee game.
Midkiff and Ortez tied for in
diyiduai points, having 8 mark
ed beside each name when the
hnal whistle blew. Houston and
BaylisS We're runners-up in the
scoring with 6 points each to
their credit. Knight Gagged one.
The Rockville team played a
feir game but was unable to get
together and come across in the
pinches.

he had been fixed to do the div

not out when he took the count,
because he covered his eyes with
his gloves to shield them from the

1t sounds reasonable that Jack
was all in, tired and worn, that
he knew he could not win and de-

chance.
