18 THE TATTLER A. H. S. VS. C. H. S. On March 7, Conneaut High journeyed to Ashtabula and were defeated by the close score of 19 to 17. Some say C. H. S. was defeated by the referee, others say by the team of A. H. S. In fact, the main reason was that most of the Conneaut men lost their bean after a few fouls had been called on C. H. S. and talked a little too much to the umpire so that he watched them closer than ever, but even then Conneaut had the lead and there seemed no way of beating them; so for some unknown reason the umpire took his spite out on Hubbard by putting him out o1' the game. Moreover, Conneaut was weak at shooting fouls, for about one out of fom seemed the best that they could do. CHilds was there in getting baskets, making three in the game. Davis and Leach had to be satisfied with two apiece. The team work of Hubbard and Smith was fine. Eagles went in Hubbard’s place when the latter was taken out of the game. C. H. S.—17. Line-Up. A. H.

They played their best but the team work and basket shooting of the shipyard city fair sex was too much for them. It was demonstrated early in the game that they were in a class by themselves and should be congratulated on their work, considering this is their first year that they have taken part in this line of sport. The shooting of Miss Debell was the feature of the game, ror time and time again when the ball was advanced down tthe floor into her hands it was tossed into the basket no matter how difficult the ansr’e was. The Conneaut stars were the Misses Marcy and Sanford. Miss Marcy secured one field basket and one foul, all the points that Conneaut could get. It was Miss Sanford’s first game and her guarding was of a high degree, holding her opponent scoreless. C. H. S.—3. Line-Up. H. H. S.—15. Pearce...................R. F.................

ASHTABULA HARBOR H. S. On the night of March 8, the C. H. S. quintet journeyed to Ashtabula Harbor, confident of “Beating ’Em Up.” The game was played in the new high school gym, which when completed will be the best basketball floor in the county. The game was fast and exciting throughout, being replete with baskets being shot from all angles of the floor. During the first half the Harbor held C. H. S. down to a score of 16 to 11. But in the second half the C. H. S. came back strong, and in a few minutes had rung enough baskets to put the game safely on ice. For Conneaut, Smith and Hubbard were the “stars,” Smith ringing seven field goals, while Hubbard put up a fine defensive game. Childs, as usual, had his horseshoe with him. Davis and Leach played their usual strong game. Line-Up. C. H. S.—41. A. H.—21. Childs L. F.. . . Davis R. F .... Burrell, G. Poad Leach C Smith R. G Hubbard L. G . . . .

The last game of the season of 1911-12 was played Saturday evening, March 23, before the largest crowd that has attended any game so far this winter. Probably the best feature of the evening was the cheering accorded to the two teams. At no time did the enthusiasm of the spectators seem to be on the decline. This was also helped along by the closeness of the contest. Throughout the first half neither team seemed to have any advantage until the last minute of play, when Conneaut managed to secure a lead of three points, the half ending 20 to 17. During the second half it was nip and tuck between the teams and the final outcome was in doubt until the last minute of play, when Tilden of the visitors secured a basket from nearly the middle of the floor. This, followed by a couple of fouls, which the Geneva referee obligingly called, placed the victory in the hands of Geneva. For Conneaut, Childs was undoubtedly the star, managing to secure seven baskets under the guard of Geneva’s fast guard, Lewis. Also the steady work of Davis is not to be overlooked. .
