The high school classes are play
ing basket ball games. Only boys
teams are playing this year. So far
the sophomores defeated the seniors.
The juniors also defeated the fresh
men. The seniors won game play
ed with the sophomores. At yet 3
classes have tied and were to play
off the tie some time this week.
The girls basket ball team played
a very exciting game for the cham
pionship at Newark last Friday eve
ming. The team played real game,
and as a result of hard playing one
of our prominent players, Lucille
Matthews, was injured in the game.
The score was 25 to % in favor of
New Castle.
Even though the girls feel keenly
LQ6 loss Ol lu6 OlcJG O1oAh hpAOhohAPS
they may be congratulated for the
efforts displayed in all the games
throughout the season. In recogni-
ton of so many successful games
their coach, Mr.. Boston, who has
stood by his players and helped
them all year, is considering taking
the team to see either basket ball
game played by the All American
Stars or National League base ball
game in Philadelphia.
The High School Defamation Con-

statue of the man about whom the
best essay is written will be placed
