Deering Girls
Defeat Gardiner

Portland, Feb. 22-Deering high
girls had little difficulty in taking
the Gardiner sextette, 37-5 at Deer
ing high yesterday afternoon. The
Purple team was far superior to the
! invading outfit, and the battle was
never in doubt after the first few
minutes of play. Deering was
without the services of Norma Grow
er but nevertheless rolled up quite
score without their star forward.
The Purple team jumped out to a
lead in the first few minutes, Gun
derson and Eveleth loading the hoop
with ringers. The invaders could
do nothing with the Deering de-
tense, and had but very few shots at
the hoop. The Purple had the ball
IN their possession most of the time,
and the game soon developed into a
question of what the count would be.
Gunderson. Eveleth and Davis
were the outstanding stars of the
tussle. The Deering guards did not
have many chances to shine though
what little they had to do they did
well. Browns was the big gun for
the visitors.

ey. the national fancy diving cham

event of the final day of the two day
women's A. A. L. championship
swimming meet at Temple Terrace
this afternoon. The little champion
was closely pressed by both Helen
Wainwright, champion long distance
swimmer, and Miss Aileen Riggin,
former champion.
A capacity crowd saw world .
record shattered in the 110-yard
free style event by Ethel Lackie, who
lowered her mark set in the 1924

worlds record. 2.46 3-5. She broke
the American record by 2-5 of a sec

AS above stated other excellent

of them, however, we have selected
and print on this weeks puzzle page
in the various spaces of the % Gar
diner business firms who are Coop
Grating with the Journal in offering
this contest to journal readers. Ev-
eryone interested in this weeks puz-
zle should read over these limericks
carefully as they will get many tips
and suggestions for writing their
own limericks.
VI
contestants should not forget that
they can write and send in as many
| limericks with their sdfution of the
puzzle as they wish, in fact, they
stand a much better chance of win,
ming by so doing as every additional
limerick increases their chance OF
having one of their lot picked as a
winner. A great number of last
weeks contestants sent only one
limerick, had they sent several as
the rules permitted they might have
scored a win.
Also many of last weeks contes-
tants failed to write their verses in
limerick form and so could not be
considered at all. Throughout this
contest only true limer.cks will be
given any consideration. However,
by noticing carefully the form of
this weeks winning limericks and
the additional ones selected for
each advertiser on the puzzle page
every contestant. should be able to
tell clearly what limerick is and
be able to compose similar ones.
From now on a change will be
made in the original rules which
barred from the contest employees
of the % advertising firms and their
families and from now out such en-
ployees may compete for the prizes
provided they do not write their
limericks about the firm which en-
ploys them. This change is deemed
proper and fair as all judging and
selection Of the prize winners is
handled entirely by the Journal Puz-
zle Editor and staff and the advertis-
ers themselves do not even see any
of the limericks until after the priz-
eS are awarded. The proprietors and
all pmDlnNppS nf 70

contest.
Checks for so5, SIS. $40 and s5 will
