HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL
 TEAM DEFEAT CABLE MEN

Perhaps the new uniforms had something to do with it, anyway, last night the high school basketball team walked away with their first game against the cable office aggregation by the sweet tune of 21 to IA. The game was fast and furious all the way and the high school lads were forced to play at top speed at all times in order to come out on the long end. The cable men have not been playing long together which fact is attributed to their defeat but from their show ing of last evening it will be but couple of more weeks when they will probably be able to reverse the score. A goodly number of spectators cheer ed the boys along.
 But to get back to those uniforms.
 The suits arrived last week and are of all white material trimmed with thin stripes of blue. A blue letter "S'' adorns the right leg of the trunks.
 They are neat, and stuffed with the high school lads, Seward has young team we'll to be proud of.

 In explanation of his refusal to leave the station, Hayes said there were about Is persons present and he disliked being humiliated by be- ing ordered out, since he was a member of the department.

 Blames Woods For Incident
 Chairman Pajewski asked if he was not aware it was contrary to the rules of discipline to answer back to superior officer, and Hayes re- piled he knew it was but he laid the blame for the whole incident to Woods.
