scorefest in the second half
Of the game which opened
the local interscholaStic court season at
Kendall Green yesterday, Gallaudet
College six romped on the Blue and
White squad by a score of IS to %.
Miss MARITIME registered 26 points in the
second half, after aiding Agnes Caylor
to chalk up l6 in the first.
Although Kendall Green hoped into
an early lead, the game was by no
means all one way in the opening ses-
sion. Eastman scored six points In
the last three minutes of the first
quarter after the hostess team had
piled UP 10 for itself. In the second
quarter, Gallaudet scored three times
and Eastman matched this, but two Of
Dorothy GambrillS shots for the visi-
tors were single pointers, making the
score i6 to 10 when the whistle blew
at half time.
Miss Gambrill scored again as the
third period opened but after that
things were all the home teams way
with the exception of brief Eastman
rally late in the fourth quarter East
mans strongest playing was in the
center, field, where Josephine Duckett
and Florence Avis struggled nobly to
outpace their opponents.
Gallaudets play was featured by
consistent teamwork and accuracy In
the forward field.
Next week the Kendall Greeners are
slated to go to Forest Glen to meet the
National Park Seminary team, one of
the strongest seminary sextets in this
section.

and freshman squads, three Junior and
three senior teams are organized. The
freshmen and sophomoreS each are
playing among themselves. Juniors and
seniors have combined for their prelilni-
nary matches. It Is probable that at the
conclusion of these, two teams will be
selected to represent each class in the
championship play, as there are 80 many
candidates in the field, competition is so
close, that the directors feel they can
organize at least eight strong squads.
Whether or not this plan is carried
out depends largely upon the scholastic
standing of the candidates at the close
of the present semester, according to
school officials. If the mid-year reports
of the majority Of the players are sat
isfactory, eight teams will be organized;
II many fall by the wayside, however. 1t
will be necessary to confine the cham
pionship circuit to the customary four
teams.
Games in the practice series are being
played on Monday Tuesday and
Wednesday afternoons after school. In
addition, all of the toSSers are concen-
technique and principles of passing the
ball in extra workouts held during
their gymnasium periods.
Helen Thomas, senior, has been Sc
lected basket ball manager at Eastern,
with Mildred Neil as her assistant.

of the freshmen, Mrs. Virginia Woodin

Junior basketers of Fairmont School
won the opening game of the inter-

Props, 80 to IA. on the school floor. The
stellar guarding of Elizabeth Love, who
effectively checked Virginia Newhouse,
varsity forward, was big factor in the
Juniors victory. Margaret Montgomery

DEATHS

LURAY, Va, Feb. Henry c.
Robinson, aerial photographer OF

the central figure In one OF the
hardest fought murder cases ever
tried in this section of the State
was freed today Of all response
bility for the murders Of John M.
Johnson and Middleton Johnson,
through the entering Of nolle
PROSE- in the latter case.
Robinson last summer was in.
dicted for the murder of the two
Johnsons, father and son, and tried
for the killing of the father. He
was found not guilty when ne
proved to the satisfaction Of jury
from Frederick county threats
against his life and an attack on
him by the Johnsons. He was ad.
mitted to $1,000 bail on the second
charge.
Commonwealth's Attorney Down.
ing refused at the time to drop tine
second charge because of the pos
sibility OF new evidence. This
however, did not appear.
Robinson shot the Johnsons IN

BILL
ASSA|LED

y Several proposed legislative
actions, now pending in Congress,
were severely drubbed at the meet.
ing of the Board'of Education yes
terday afternoon In the Franklin
Administrative Building.
Among the measures assailed
was the Simmons bill,, which pro-
poses to appropriate a lump sum
OF $l0,000,00O for schoolhouse con.
struction purposes. Another meas.
ure that the board expressed an
unfavorable opinion on was the
tree textbook measure that would
provide for the furnishing Of the
books in the junior high schools.
The board adopted the policy of
fighting the bill unless the high
schools are also included.
A report, submitted to the board
by Henry Gilligan. chairman Of the
legislative committee, declared that
the Simmons measure was irlsuf.
ficient and that 1t was OF very
little use in it's present form.
The report declared that the
measure, IL made into law, would
break UP the orderly method that
has been worked out for the con.
struction of schools and would
Substitute therefor q return to
the disorderly, chaotic procedure
which has attended the program OF
the schoolhouse c o n stru c ii n
throughout the history of the first
five-year building program. Board
members, commenting on the re.
port. declared that the school sys.
tenn would be better off with the
adoption of the second fiye-year
program than it would enactment
Of the Simmons measure.
Gilliagan pointed out that the
first five-year measure still had
81 900, 900 to be appropriated, as
authorized, and the Simmons bill
would only therefore mean an APP
preparation of $3.000,0 900 additional.
The board refused to consider
recommendations of the Teachers
Union that asked for the appoint
ment Of matrons in SO of the public
schools. DR.. Frank w. Ballou.
Superintendent of Schools, showed
that the annual cost Of obtaining
these matrons would exceed Sis, 900
and that inasmuch as the schools
for which matrons were recon.
mended have women teachers they
could care for the needs Of the
pupils as well as matrcziS.
The District Commissioners in
formed the School Board Of two con.
tracts for school work that had been
let yesterday. A contract for the
erection OF an eight-room addition
and assembly hall to the Raymond
School, at a cost of $167.259, was
let to the Hofferberth Construction
Company. The same company was
awarded q contract for the con-
struction of an assembly hall at the
Takoma School at cost OF $4s,4sS.
