the game ended the visitors were on
the long end of the score of % to %.
Miss Effie Allsup refereed the girls
game.
The Lumberjacks played their best
game of the season when they de-
feated Round Valleys hitherto un-
beaten five. Normal took the lead
from the start and stayed there ex-
cept for a couple of times when the
score was tied. However the visitors
did not at any time become masters
of the situation. Camp at forward
played a great game, as did Dick
Moore, Normal's high-point man, who
made nine of Normafs points. Vickers
showed his usual high class at stand
ing guard while Davis and Jarvis
worked like demons at center and run
ming guard Fuentes was high point
man for the visitors, caging six points
and was pushed hard for this honor
by Captain Gibbons, who Gagged five.
The Lumberjacks had wonderful team
work, which has been lacking in their
previous games this season. The final
score, % to 18. Howard Denman
referred the game to the entire salts
faction of both parties and is to be
recommended for the manner in which
he kept it free from any but clean
playing.
The Holbrook boys and girls will
meet the Normal teams on the Nor
NAL court tomorrow evening at p.

day, the scores should be very much
in our favor.
Games are being arranged with
three schools in New Mexico and if
plans materialize the Lumberjacks
will journey to our neighboring state
and bring home some more scalps.
They expect to meet the Normal uni
versity at Las Vegas, the University
at Albuquerque, and the School of
Mines at Socorro. 1t is very probable
also that they will attend the junior
college tournament at Phoenix on
March 6 and 7.

NORMAL SCHOOL NOTES

The Friday assembly last week was
one of the best that we have had so
far this quarter. Mrs. F. E. Wells of
Song" and an Irish Love Song" Mrs
Wells has lovely voice and her songs
were enjoyed very much. Del Strong
of the Coconino Sun was speaker of
the day. He spoke of newspapers and
their place in the world, of the at
tempts and successes in making news
papers cleaner from scandal and
fakes. He related some personal ex-
periences in his newspaper career. He
also dwelt for a few minutes on the
newspaper mans English grammar,
and explained that in the rush of his
work, a reporter is very likely to make
common grammatical errors. MI.
Strong, knowing his profession as he
does, talked right out of his heart and
helped his listeners every moment of
his short talk. Today, February 10,
Prof. Chester Deaver of Normal
science department will speak to the
students and the following week
Agent Tom A. Stahl of the Santa Fe
will talk on the subject of railroads.
The training school junior high
basketball team played the junior high

The Round Valley high school teams
of Eagar invaded the Normal on Tues
day and were received by the teams

the outcome of the games, since
Round Valley had not been beaten this
season. The girls team won decisive

ing and accurate shooting the dope
was against the Lumberjills. The
Lumberjacks were defeated by large
score by the visiting team few
weeks ago when our boys took trip
into that section, so that, on the whole,
things looked rather gloomy for US.
The girls game was fast from the
start. The visitors were fast but were
held by the Lumberjills so that neither
did much for the first quarter. Dur
ing the second period the visitors
pushed into the lead and the score
stood 16 to 10 against the home team.

REDUCTION
LOOMS

Voluntary reduction of the fare
on the Washington Rapid Transit
Company's bus lines may be ex-
pected within the next few days,
it was indicated at the District
Building today.
Representatives of the new
management of the bus company
are expected to confer with Maj.
w. E. r. Covell before the public
hearing designated by the Public
Utilities Commission for Wednes-
day afternoon.
Bell Sees Fare Cut
Officials of the company would
not state today what their position
would be at the hearing, but it was
pointed out that there were several
important items to be taken into
consideration before a fare reduc-
ton is ordered.
Lieut.. Col j. Franklin Bell, the
Engineer Commissioner, said he
had hopes that the bus company
would offer a plan whereby fares
lieves that his suggestions to Off
cials will have the desired effect on
the testimony adduced at the hear
ing.
Clayton Studies Records
Should the bus companies put
forth strenuous, efforts to keep the
fare from being reduced, William
Nick. Clayton. public utilities adj
visor from the Federation of Citi-
zens Associations. will add the
weight of his opinion to the argu-
ments for lower fares.
Clayton has been studying the
records and reports of the COM
pany for the past month and de-
clares that on the basis of a fair
valuation of the bus line substan.
tial objection to a lower rate OF
fare cannot be made.
In all likelihood the fare will be
reduced to three tokens for quar-
ter instead Of five for 46 cents
with the 10-cent cash fare remain
ing for the present.

But by a strange trick OF fate,
Howard is held now on q bigamy
charge, after he thought the hand
Of death had sealed his alleged
secret.
A letter came to Towards home
recently and Mrs. Howard opened
it-while her husband was not al
home.
It was a bill from a local under.
taker for funeral expenses for Mrs

cording to the charge against How.
ard, found that her husband had
been maintaining two homes. spend
ing part of his time with each OF
two wives. The other Mrs. Howard
died recently. and the husband ac'
cording to lneighbors, appeared pros.
trated with grief.
But he overlooked the fact that
the undertaken might send the bill
for the funeral OF wife No. l to
the address where wife No. lived
with him.
Howard was held to the grand
jury under 81 900 bail.
