FAST FINISH.
WINS FOR
RATTLERS
St. Mary's Collegians Dis
lance McMurry in
Second Half.

Referee Whiteside, formerly Of the
University Of Utah, was the happiest
mortal in San Antonio when the st.
Mary's College Rattlers' basket ball
quintet finally got through licking the
McMurry College Indians in the small
confines Of Turner Hall Saturday
night. The score was "a to II in
the Rattlers' favor, and Referee White
side got knocked down or stepped on
about four times for every point
scored.
1t was the second defeat for Coach
Medley's Indians in as many nights,
and marked their farewell appearance
until their baseball team comes here
for brace of games with the Rattlers
May and S. They are on the Rat
tiers 1926 football schedule, Novem
Der 1S.
Turner Hall was simply too small
a space in which to turn loose a pair
of rambunctious fivcs like the In
dams and the Rattlers. They started
ont rough and got steadily rougher
Along toward the close OF the second
half it resembled Clusters last stand.
GUN FOR TIMER.
Even the timekeeper caught the
spirit Of the occasion. marking the
end OF the two periods with six
gun. The first time it went off the
crowd thought somebody's temper had
gotten the best of him.
Referee Whiteside spent miser-
able evening. So often did he get in
the way during the first half that to-
wards the close Of the game he was
punch drunk" He would call a per-
sonal foul on a player and then let
him shoot the basket.
Earl English, Rather forward, was
elected from the game in the second
half for excessive Grabbing at the
referee. Parks, McMurry guard, was
given the air on four personal fouls.
LOSERS START STRONG
The Indians started out like they
intended to revenge the drubbing
handed them by the Rattlers Friday.
They jumped into a 5-to-2 lead soon
after the opening whistle, as the re-
suit of n pair of losses by West. Eng
uted basket soon after, however, and
the count stood: Rattlers 8; McMur-
ry g, at the half.
The st. Mary's quintet went out
with q vengeance for the second per-
iod, leaving Indians strewn all over
the floor as they swept down for Il
quick succession of baskets. With
Notava, Harm, Brotze and English all
figuring in the scoring, they ran their
lead TO IL to q before the Indians
could get back on their feet.
Williamson and Ledbetter were the
only McMurry players to toss field
goals in the second period, the guard
ing of Carver and BrotDe holding them
helpless. Walter Will, who took Eng
lish's place after the latter was elected
was whirlwind toward the close OF
the game.

in succession, led the Rather point
getters, with seven. English and Harm
each tossed six points. West, with
four points, was high for McMurry.

GARDINER PASTOR
GIVES fine TALK
BEFORE ROTARIANS

An interesting talk replete with
humorous anecdotes as illustrations
was given by Rev. II. A. Clark, pas
tor of the Free Baptist church, on
Wednesday noon at the Johnson
House before the members of the
Gardiner Rotary Club. Mr.. Clark
spoke on 1.-THE High and Low Spots
in Life and contrasted the wonders
of Mother Nature with that of hui
mans. He referred to Mount Whit
ney, the highest peak in the United
States, and then to Death Valley,
the lowest point, which is within
50 miles of the highest peak. AS
with mountains and low lands so
1t is with men and women. Some
are the highest in the physical and
mental sense. others are of the low
est type, while the majority is in be-
tween. Mr.. Clark declared that it
was the duty of tho highest ones to
do their best to elevate those below
them and bring them to the heights.
Following this talk Secretary Mar
son signed up the members of the
club who are planning to attend the
coming spring conference of the
Eighth Rotary District, which will
be held at Manchester, n. H., on
April 10 and 20. This session is eX-
pected to be one of the biggest and
best of Rotary conventions and will
be attended by about 1900 Rotarians
from Maine, New Hampshire and
Massachusetts. Business session will
be held on Monday, the first day of
the convention. The conference din
ner will be served on Monday eve
ming and there will be luncheons
both days. Arrangements have been
made to conduct the visitors on sight

Health Activities
Taken Up, Meeting
PIT Association

Health activities occupied the at
tention OF the Parent Teacher Assoc
citation at its monthly meeting held
Wednesday evening In the High
school auditorium. Miss Edith
Soule, r. NJ, of the State Depart
ment of Health was the speaker or
the evening and outlined the propos-
ed plan of holding pre-school clinic
In May at which time an effort would
be made to give each child planning
to enter the Public schools in the fall
a thorough physical examination IN
order that during the summer months
any remedial defects may be taken
care of and the child sent to school
in the fall ready to cope with the
nroblems of school life in as best con-
dition as is possible. 1t Is the duty
of such organizations as the Parent
Teacher Association to see that the
children go through life unhandicap-
ned as far as possible, this work
should be done as soon as possible
and is of inestimable value. A child
in perfect health is much easier to
teach than one handicapped by ply
steal disabilities. She discussed the
various methods of advertising the
Clinic, emphasizing especially the
home to home canvass. and also the
fact that parents should understand
that no treatment is to be given, just
a thorough examination.
An interesting film showing the
work of school nurses and physicians
was exhibited through the courtesy
of the State Department of Health.
A discussion regarding the advisable
ity of school children eating lunches
at the recess period arose, and after
an explanation by Principal Taylor
as to the necessity of the establish
ing of the lunch center for students
living out of the city who left home
at an early hour and who could not
get home until late in the afternoon
Miss Soule approved of the project.

and Miss Nudd's rooms in the Gen.
