IS THE TATTLER girls did not have the good luck that the boys did, being defeated by the score of 2 4-5. The game between the boys was fast and close to the end, but the steady drive of team-work and basket shooting of C. H. S. gave them the game. Stone showed up well at center, while Leach was the point getter. Tommy played well at forward and Dunn showed up well in his passing. It was hard to tell just who the stars were, in the girls’ game, but the star of the game, on the Harbor team, was Miss Dibell, who dropped the ball in the basket seven times.

The game between Conneaut and Jefferson high schools was fast, close and exciting. Conneaut, handicapped by the smallness of the Jeff lloor. found it hard to play basketball at all, but did manage to beat Jeff by a small margin. The five could not get into their usual stride and did not showr half the basketball they were capable o,f 'producing. The two teams would keep neck and neck all through the game. The score at the end of the first half was 13-9 in favor of Jeff. After having a good look at things, Conneaut decided that it would not do to have the Jeff five beat them, so the second half found Conneaut in a different attitude toward winning and it was not long before they had the lea-4, in the last two minutes of play Jeff took the lead away from Conneaut. A mistake of the score keepers made the score 17-17 and one minute to play. Jeff threw a basket and time was up, the crowd thought the game was over and that Jeff had won. but on comparing notes the scorers decided that the score stood 19-19 an l the players were called back to play off the tie, which was fought for desperately. Referee Calloway called a double foul. Stone dropped his in but Jeff missed. It takes two points to play off a tie, and little Tommy Smith was the fortunate fellow to get the winning basket for Conneaut. It wras hard to tell the stars of the game on Conneaut’s five for team work was impossible. But, however, Leach and Smith made some pretty good shots. For Jeff, Topper was easily the star, getting several pretty shots from the midle of the floor. . Conneaut—22. Jefferson—19. Leach R. F Dunn-Smith 1.. F C. Topper Stone C Dawlev . . . . L.

Stone goth the first basket for the high school on a oul. Geneva managed to get 9 points to Conneaut’s 3 before the first half was up. The second half started with a different opinion on the high school five. Every man w-as in the game until the close. The cheering caused by the spectators, and the speed of the five began to knock Geneva’s teamwork to pieces. Just as the game was going at a fast rate, Stone tried to play basketball with his nose and was forced to retreat for a few minutes. Conneaut was then in the lead five points. When the game started again. Gentva had pulled themselves together, and they went into the game with the intention of winning, which Conneaut did also, but could not hit their usual stride.
