Last Friday night the Boys
First Team defeated the Wild
Cats in a basketball game by
a score of Ill. The game was
unusually fast and the expert
guarding of Gabe Fleming and
Jake Priode held the Wild Cats
to- one free toss of the sphere.
This game was followed by
the Girls defeating the Fac

much merriment, the center of
interest being (Long) John
Turner guarding Sis Shortt,
lanky forward for the girls.

knocked Jake out for the count
OF six, and in the second round

count of five, Bob raised to his
feet and again 'floored" Jake
for the count of four.
