the menfolk and children, serv-
ing as teachers, at church sup

church activities. 1 personally
knew many of them, present and
past, and they, with my own
mother, represent to me, the
very finest spirit of mother self
| sacrifice that you will ever want
to see, And it is indeed a good
sign of progress that many Of
our younger mothers and newly
weds are carrying on this ire
mendous tradition which will
launch Shiloh successfully on
ward to her next SO years. Pas
tor Shealey will preach the
special Mothers Day sermon,
Sunday, and the Church School

REDWOOD EDGES
BROADWAY CACERS
Upset Causes SWAY
Tie in North League

Redwood High Schools Tigers
registered something of an upset,
Tuesday evening, when they
handed the highly regarded
Broadway High cagers their first
defeat of the season. The game
was played in the Redwood gym
and the final score was 1886.
Broadway Reserves defeated
Richwood's seconds, 1922
Tuesdays fracas was as thrill
ing as the final score sounds.
Redwood went to work promptly
at the start of the game, and by
the end of the first quarter had
obtained for themselves a 10-l
lead BY half-time, Broadway had
gnawed away at the score, and
RichWood's margin was reduced
to l7-10 The third period ended
with the Tigers still holding g.
point lead, 1928.
The fourth quarter was hum
dinger, with Broadway really
putting on a battle for points,
and Redwood fighting just as
hard to protect its lead. Coach
Barney Griffith's lads outscored
the Tigers, 1873 in the final STAN
"a, but time ran out before they
could overtake Richwood's lead.
A last-second basket by Broad
way which would have tied the
game was ruled no-good by the
officials, who sair the Broadway
lad had been fouled before he
shot. The boy was awarded one
free throw, which he made, but
it was not enough.
Bud Westlake and Steele shar-
ed the scoring honors for Broad
way with IL points each, while
Woods had II for Redwood.

DARBY RALLYS' WINS
FROM, WOODSTOCK TEAM

Darby Tigh cagers overcame a
3-point half-time deficit to de-
feat Woodstock, 1885 last Friday
in the Darby gym. The lads from
down Unionville way continued
to handle the ball better and are
looking better as team in each
game they play, and their per-
formance Friday was their best
to date. Woodstock Reserves won
the preliminary, 1920, but had
to stave off a last-period Darby
rally to do SO.
sIn the Varsity tilt, Woodstock
was in front 6-5 at the end iof the
first quarter, and 1915 at the
half. Darby began putting on the
heat in the third period, and had
it tied at 29-all as that quarter
ended. Nicol had Is points to lead
the scoring for Darby and Stanley
got l9 for Woodstock

Drawing for County Cage Tourney
To Be Held Monday at Dinner Meet

whereby there will be only one
or two games a night, in the
hopes of avoiding over-capacity
audiences. Heretofore, with sew
eral tournament games in a sin
gle session, it has been necessary
to turn away several hundred
tournament fans who arrived too
late for seats.
Much interest is already being
evidenced in the forthcoming con-
test, with four teams considered
having the inside track to the
county championship, won last
year by Broadway.
One of the four teams, and
perhaps the red-hot favorite in
spite of her one-point loss to
Redwood, Tuesday evening, is
that same Broadway. Until Tues
day, the Taylor township speed
merchants, coached by Barney
Griffith, had not tasted defeat.
= Other favorites in the title
chase will be Redwood and Mag
netic Springs, of the Nor h
League, and Watkins, undisputed
leader in the South Loop. Rich
woods victory over Broadway,
incidentally, has thrown the
North circuit into a three-Way
tie, since Redwood has been
beaten by Magnetic Springs,
while the Resorters, in turn, were
handed 3-point defeat by
Broadway.

COLD WEATHER
In ITS 18th DAY,
BUT END In SIGHT
Mindling Says Week
To End In the SOS;
l8 Below Wednesday

One of the severest and most
prolonged cold waves on record
in Union County was said to be
nearing an end today with Col
umbus Weatherman George w,
Mindling's prediction:
Warmer Friday and Satur-
day"
The week, which started out
with II below zero and got pro-
gressively worse, will end with
the temperature at 30 or above,
Mindling said.
Meanwhile, the cold spell en-
tered its 18th day of sub-zero
weather, with only brief respite.
After II below Saturday and
Monday, and IA below Sunday,
Tuesday was practically ''heat
wave" when the mercury quit
its descent at 2 above.
But Wednesday, the cold re-
sumed with a vengeance as the
thermometer slid to 18 below
zero, and dropped to 10 below "a
gain this morning. BY II a. m.
today, the mercury stood at 5
above, but has been rising stead
lily since and at 2 p. m. reached
% above.
Wednesdays l8 below has been
equalled only once and beaten
once in the 81 years that weather
records have been kept in Marys-
vile, according to Russell S.
Banks, local observer. In Janu-
ary, 1886, the temperature got
to 18 below to climax Today
sub-zero spell, and in 1918, il
got to % below.
The current cold wave really
began Jan. IL, and has continued
almost without let-up since then.
Jan. 20 was the warmest of the
entire period, with a high of SO
above and low of 20 above. But
this respite was extremely brief.
High and low temperatures for
the duration of the cold have
been as follows:
