Dayton Wins First Game
Last Tuesday the Lions came
home from Dayton with the short
end of both games in double-head-
er played there. The second team
score was 40 to Is and the "B" squad
26 to 8. Williams was unable to play
because of scholastic difficulties and
Talbot because of illness.
The Dayton quint started out by
getting a big lead and kept a good
scoring pace. The half time score
turned out 20 to 5, Jones having the
only Kennewick field goal and Rey-
more three charity losses. ......
In the last half Oliver got to work
and grabbed all thirteen counters
made in that period. Gates was
high point man for the Bulldogs
with IA points. In the preliminary
fracas Campbell was high for Ken
newick with three points and Blem-
niger scored IA points for the hosts.

Dear Nom:
Would you mind sending me five
dollars or so? You see its this way.
I was taking Janey to show and
when we got up to go home tore
my pants and shorts to the bare
skin and as I have only my good
suit here besides the pants I tore I
feel CONSTRUCTED or something.
Janey and I do not get along so
well because a fellow doesn't like to
get his pants torn when a girl
laughs. Besides Jack wrote and told
me that Ellen went to the K.R. D.
G. dance with that lizard, Pat Nc
Mahon, and as I told Janey she did
not know I was going with another
girl and she is mad. Gee Nom,
please send five dollars or so to get
some pants and also Ellen's nothing
but a two-timer.
So long, ... 4 =.

VII
NAUGHTY JOHN

Since Lorraine Giles, K. H. S. G.
Woman had quelled Spider-Leg and
his associates, she was given a medal
for her valiant capture, and was
feeling quite satisfied with herself.
But alas-her peace of mind was
soon to be disturbed for she was Civ
en- another assignment, that of cap
turing Baby Face Lincoln, who was
wanted for wasting his power of
speech and also for exercising this
power without any call for it.
But the hardest part of the as
signment was dealing with Baby
Faces moll, Virginia Carpenter, who
was noted for Staying of men. What
would she do to Lorraine if she ever
met her?
But Lorraine started out gaily,
tripping along, and singing joyfully
as if it was spring. Lorraine had
also recovered from her spring fever,
and so felt like conquering the
world, and then some.
The first thing that Lorraine met,
to detain her, was a big, strong,
blue-eyed blonde young man, who
stood on the street corner, making
eyes at her. But this time Lor--
raine would not stop and chat with
this young fellow, because she had
bigger and better things to do-and
besides, who knows? She might even
get another medal if she should be
lucky and capture this Baby Face
Lincoln. If he was ever caught he
would be convicted because all the
honorable teachers would bear tes-
timony against him. f.7
The first clue that Lorraine found
was young lady by the name of
Ruth Goodnight, whose ear was
badly mangled-the effects of Lin
coins trying to talk an ear off her.
Surely Baby Face could not be
far off, because Ruth was grinning
like Cheshire cat-no doubt at
one of Johnny's numerous wise.
cracks. Lorraine proceeded to ques-
ton Ruth, but to no avail, for Ruth's
ears were still buzzing so loudly from
the effects of Johnny's manly voice,
that she could not hear word that
the G.Woman was trying to say.
Disguised, Lorraine gave it up,
and proceeded on her way.
Aha! Another clue! Foot prints
of size IA shoe. But she was due for
another disappointment. The foot
prints led to the pool hall, and who
should be the owner of them but
Sleepy Williams.
All, well! Life is like that. One
disappointment after another. Dog
gedly she started out again. This
time she vowed that nothing could
stop her, and when Lorraine is de-
termined, she usually gets her man.
AS she tramped past Genes
place, she happened to glance up,
and there was that villainous per-
son, none other than Baby Face Lin
coin. The rest of her job was simple.
She walked up to John and said,
Come with me now, john"
And his associates are also serv-
ing time in K.H.S., where all the
preceding criminals have ended up.

TO THE EDITOR
Dear Mr.. Editor:

Dear MIR. Editor:
1t seems as if the freshmen Of
today are the worst ever. The up
per classmates seem to forget they
too, were once Freshmen" Since
they want us to be ladies and gentle
men, how about some examples?
Often freshmen" are considered
green, but you find some juniors
and seniors still greener.
Sincerely yours, A FRESHMAN.

DOCTORS HACK
POOR PATIENT

The Hi-Y presented another UNI
usual stunt at the Dayton game Fri
day night which won the enthusi-
asm response from the crowd. It
seems a major operation was per-
formed on Verne Foraker. Although
we still do not know the nature of
the diseases, we are sure it must
have been quite serious to have
taken five doctors to extract what
looked like a string of weiners.
We hope to see many more such
stunts, you Hi-Y'ers, so don't dis
appoint us!
Well see you at the game next
Friday. ..a>. 6

WATERLOO WONDERS HERE
TONIGHT

The White-Cliff Chevrolet basket
ball team will stage big basketball
show here Thursday (tonight) at
the M. & M. high school gymnasium
with the Wonders" of Waterloo,
that sharp-shooting phenomenal
high school team from Lawrence
county. In 1884 and 1885 this
team dominated Ohio scholastic
cage circles, winning something like
|95 out of SO games against all
kinds of opposition. Then four OF
the team graduated, and merry
scramble was on among the middle
vests collegiate coaches-all seek
ing the greatest plum any high
school has been able to offer in
years. One of the boys, Stewart
Wiseman, enrolled at Ohio State
and later transferred to Rio Grande
college, but the other three grads
staid at home. They decided they
would wait until the last member Of
the quintet was through with high
school, so that all could attend col
lege together. The four "stay-at-
homes" were named on the class B
all-state first team selected at last
years tourney-that's how much
they dominated the basketball pic
ture. Now these four, with a sub
stitute filling in at the other berth,
are still making history.
Orlyn and Wyman Roberts, cou-
sins, Curtis Mcmahon and Berry,
Drummon are the four still in the
harness. Stewart Wiseman is at
college. He hasn't decided whether
he will change schools if the rest of
the team picks another college, and
the other wonders have not de-
cided where they will go next year.
Magellan Hairston, Rio Grande
college product who coached the
Wonders to the heights, says that
they are "better than ever The
mentor, who still puts in word Of
advice to his boys, said they have
added a lot of tricks to the passing
and shooting tactics which had the
state agog the last two years. This
will give little idea of the ability
of these boys. Even one who has
never seen game of basketball be-
fore could not help but enjoy watch
ing this team.
The boys composing the Chew
rolet team are proud to bring to
McConnelsville the best team in the
state. 1t is their desire to give to
you the highest class attraction and
SO they present this basketball pro-
gram.-XX.
