The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1924-01-22

to doing any honor we can to these
great Confederate generals.
Mercer Boys Entertained.
After the game last Wednesday the
seniors and the basket ball players on
both teams adjourned to a party
given by Dawson's team and the
seniors at Florence Nasworthy's home
in honor of the Mercer boys.
Everybody was introduced to every
body else and so that we might be the
better acquainted. Each person was
given ten peanuts and partner. The
game was that every time one OF the
partners said az during their con-
versations he or she would have to
give his partner a peanut. Next we
played the magic rug.
We then had a talking contest,
Burns, a Mercer freshie, and Ella Mae
tying. Burns gave us an interesting
talk on education. or something 1--WE
can't remember, or, | believe, 1t was we
couldn't keep up with him).
After refreshments OF sandwiches
and punch served by Miss Tyler, Miss
Garner and Mr. Cox the talented
Mercer boys entertained us with clog
cling, whistling and harping.
Then just about that time we heard
the telephone ringing and knowing
that it was mother or father we all
skidaddled home. No, really the
coach said the clock was nearing the
hour (eleven) and of course we took
the hint and all departed.
Freshmen Too Tall.
Did YOU see what happened to the
D. H. S. basketeers Wednesday night!
If not. have YOU heard? If you hear
somebody say 66-17 and then humble
something about points do not think
that they are talking about stock
markets. No. only the game Wednes-
dav night. They beat us. True. 1t
couldn't be helped. Everytime anyone
mentions the score we grin dryly and
| try to console ourselves by thinking
of how we are going to win the rest
of the games. The Mercer boys EVIL
IDENTIFY had several players who came
from the isle OF Brobdingnag' dis
covered by Mr.. CULVER in his travels
That explains the defeat. One Mr.
Green, who played center TOR the
Freshies, the tallest of all, would get
the bali and hold it over his head and
tease the opposing players by telling
them to get it. Then while they, were
gone after the ladder he would slip
the ball through the goal We think
there should be a rule barring any
PLAYER over seven feet tall from the
game They couldn't help it though,
and we don't hold that against them:
We always did envy anyone who could
stand on his head and ring goal or
dribbe the ball on the ceiling instead
of the floor. 1t seemed to us they had
some who could do that.
We don't think there will be any
more such scores. cause from now on
we're gonna sign up to play only natur-
al sized folks. Well, so long folks,
| hope to see you at our next game.
