As a preliminary to the High School and Ashtabula Harbor High School game, a game was played by the C. H. S. Seconds and the Mazdaliers. The game was rough, fast and exciting from start to finish. At the close of the battle it was found that the High School team was leading by the score of 17 to 15. C. H. S. Line-up. Mazdaliers. Good L. F Eagles R. F Stone C Hubbard L. G W.and N. Dunn . . . R. G Referee and Umpire, Alternating—Smith and Bunk. Halves—15 minutes. ASHTABULA VS. CON NBA UT. Our great rivals A. H. S. journeyed to our fair city on Feb. 2 with the sole purpose in view of wiping our gymnasium floor with the sturdy warriors of C. H. S. However, the crusade was a pitiable failure. The game was fast and exciting from start to finish. During the first half the passing of the locals was very ragged. Another fault was the slowness of the locals under their basket. The caging of fouls by Leach in the first half and the basket shooting of Eagles in the second half were the features of the game, I each getting five out o fsix fouls and Eagles getting six baskets. The game ended with the score 30 to 15 in favor of Conneaut. SMITH—11. VARSITY—34. On Thursday, Feb. 8th, the Smith and Varsity Literary societies clashed. The game was fast, furious and rough, and when the whistle blew everyone had enough including the spectators, and especially the faculty. It was nip and tuck until Eagles was removed for being just a trifle too rude. After which the Smith’s lost not only their team work but also the game. One of the scorers lost her gum and in her effort to recover the same, the game was forgotten so we are unable to print the individual records. The night was dark and breezy, Carlyle’s hands were almost freezing, To a party he was bound, Leota had one arm around, Not a duty for a girl to fill. But Carlyle’s hands had become chilled.
