The girls’ team finished their season in a blaze of glory by defeating the strong girls’ team from Geneva. Much credit is due to their captain for her efforts in getting together a winning team with two of the regulars out of the line-up. Miss Stines showed up remarkably well, securing four of the baskets, in her first game at the forward position. Miss Pearce also came in for her share, getting three field goals and five fouls. The work of the two guards also deserves mention. For the visitors, Miss Verity was the bright light, getting two difficult baskets, while Miss Morley managed to drop in five of the fouls. Line-Up.

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. .

THE TATTLER 21 • ✓ Laugh and the world laughs with you, Snore and you sleep alone. SUNDAY EVENING, MARCH 3. Don’t blame Michy, it certainly was a long sermon. During an argument on Washington’s birthday, Mr. Helman asked: “What do you think is the proper course to pursue on a holiday?’’ A. B. (drowsily)—“Sleep.” Miss Hodge, upon reading that two lovers will sit up all night with but one chair in the room, said: “It could not be done unless one of them sat on the floor.” Allen W.:—“Sometimes the minister says it to his conjugation.
