Girls Lineup


On Friday night. February I
Granada journeyed down here with
the idea that they were to have
two walk-away games in their
favor. but when the evenings
games were over, they had their
minds changed. In the first place
our girls held the Granada girls
to a hard fought game In the first
quarter, the game was held to q
five TO two score in Granada :
favor In the second quarter our
girls brought the score up to sin
to eleven in Granadas favor and
in the third quarter when the girls
started to play the score was 8 tc
9. At the beginning of the fourth
quarter, Georgia Wilson substitu.
ted for Agnes Bashor as forward
and Isabel Rockwell took Wilson,
place as guard. The fourth quart
er saw home hard playing and
when the time keepers whistle
blew at the end of the fourth
quarter, the score stood twelve
to twelve. After about two minutes
rest the game continued for five
minutes to settle the tie score
with the result of Granada max
ing three baskets to Hollys two
This gave the game to Granada
with score of Is to 16. Bebenmyer
of Las Animas was referee.
The boys game which everybody
Thought would be one of the hard
the Valley proved to be a walk
est fought games In THIS part of
away for the Holly boys. AT the
end of the first quarter, after
Holly had had the ball nearly all
of the time. the score stood three
to four in IIOlly's favor It was il
the second quarter that the Holly
boys commenced to step on the
acceleratol and left the Granada
boys so far behind that they
never had another chance of catch
ing up At the end of the first
half, the score was II to 3 in Hollys
favor. After good talk with
Coach Hewitt between halves
the Holly boys decided to show
Granada what they were made of
so rolled the score very high The
end of the third quarter came and
the score was 20 to 8 with Holly
still leading, Then came the last
quarter. with the score still going
came Holly had 30 to Granada IL
One noticeable feature of the game
was that very few personals were
called on either team Also the
poor basket shooting was h very
noticeable thing Although both
teams had good number of chan.
ces more than they made. they
were not able to get the ball in
the cage.
The Holly Boys winning this
game gave them the Champion.

SKELETONS OF loo
FOUND IN MOUNDS
Valuable Collection OF
Relics Unearthed Near
MOultOn

MOULTON, Ala, Nov. 25.-(Spe-
cial. Gerard Fewkes, representative
of the Smithsonian Institution of Wash
ington, completed the excavation of the
Indian mound on the Jake Alexander
farm last week. The mound is about
seven miles out east of Moulton at the
foot of the mountains in hollow long
known for the findings of Indian rel
les. Mr.. Fewkes was enthusiastic over
the relics found and pronounced them
the best that he had ever examined. 1t
is possible that the mound was the work
of Cherokee Indians or a branch of
that tribe and of pre-Columbian work.
The most interesting find was at the
very bottom and evidently the beginning
of the mound where three skeletons
were lying two across each other in the
form of an X with a third one cutting
the long angles of the X. In all there
were considerably above 100 skeletons
found with numerous copper beads,
broken pieces of pottery bearing signs
of most beautiful handwork and or
namentation, tomahawks, one of which
was pronounced by Mr.. Fewkes as the
largest he had ever found.
The collection was taken to Court
land for shipment to Washington. The
Smithsonian has purchased through Mr..
Fewkes a large portion of the Sanderson
collection of Indian relics, a collection
made by J. G. Sanderson of CORTLAND
and considered one of the best in the
state. 1t is understood the purchasing
price was around $500.
