EAST ENDS EASY
WINNERS, 73-45
Holmes Night Program
Most Successful ; Rebels
and Juniors Win

When the East End Community
Club basketball team and the New
Haven Americans met earlier in the
season, just one, singl solitary point
separated winners from losers when
the game was over, the Waterbur-
ians winning by the smallest possible
margin. When the two outfits match
ed points again last night in the
Bobby Holmes Night" program at
Anderson gym, it was quite a diff
1erent story, as the East Ends
romped to 70 to 45 point victory,
thought there was but six points
difference at half time 81 to Is.
BetWn the halves, Holmes, who
scored 10 points on Friday the 18th,
was given a purse by his many east
end admirers, while the Joseph d.
Brophy trophy was presented to the
Mill Plain A. G. by its donor. Within
week, Bobby Holmes will be in
Quoted into the United States Army.
In preliminary games, the East
End Juniors won a 20-15 decision
over the All Stars while the Rebels
and Bears played to a 1910 con-
clusion in favor of the Rebels in a
junior game.

There is . certain streetcar rider

non-support. She Is the girl who
leans against the post in the middle
Of the car and comfortably reads her
book or her paper. You, and all
the others who must get to work at

either must reach above her head
or crouch down on your launches
in order to grasp the pole at all. You
finally give up and get your sup

The result of 1t all is that the
