A sport new to Georgetown, be-
cause of lack of facilities for pro-
noting it, was introduced to the
public Thursday night in the Willie

newly-organized local basketball
club met the Milford team. Basket
ball is the major sport which comes
before the public eve in the winter
1t should find particular favor here,
because formerly we have been de-
prived of sports amusement of any
kind during the winter months. Be
sides the team which will represent
the town, the high school has en-
tered both the boys and girls teams
in D. l. A. A. competition, and
throughout the season will meet
the various high school teams in
this section at home and elsewhere.
The management of these teams IS
endeavOring to so arrange the
schedule that there will be at least
one and possibly two games weekly
on the home court. They ask that
you give your support by patroniz-
ing the boys and girls in their
efforts. Knowing that the people
of the community are boosting 1t
will 90 a long way towards putting
winning teams on the floor.
