C. J. FKKW, The Florist, State St. Phone 19 GIRLS’ GAME—(OWKAl'T VS. JEFFERSON. The basketball game between the girls at Jeff was rough and fast, for they played by the boys' rules. The Conneaut girls heat the Jeff girls by a score of 18 to 8, which was very good according to the floor they had tc play on. Miss Stines was the point getter for the Conneaut girls while Miss Wilson was the point getter for Jeff. C. H. S. J. H. S. Stines.................L. F.................

The Geneva and Conneaut high school basketball game, played on the gym floor, was a regular whirlwind. Geneva high school hung it on the high school by a close score of 20-18. The game started off with a rush and there was no let up. It was nearly five minutes before there was a basket caged, and this was rung by a Geneva fellow on a foul. 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. The time soon flew and the scores were close together. Just before the close, Geneva caged a basket or two, putting them in the lead 20-1S, giving them a hard earned game. Dawley put up the best game for Conneaut, while Chapman and McCall starred for the visitors. Conneaut. Geneva. Dunn-Smith R. F Leach 1.. F McCall Stone Dawley R. G Evans L.

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.

20 THE TATTLER Never before, since the high school gym has been opened, has a five held their rivals from scoring from the field. The seven points that Ashtabula made were gotten on fouls. Savage being the man to get these out of ten tries. The guarding of C. H. S. was so excellent that the visitors couldn’t get a close range shot at the basket to save their lives. The passing was so last and accurate that C. H. S. just played rings around Ashtabula. It was hard to tell who the stars for the locals were because every man put up such an excellent game that even Coach Smith had to look the second time to find any very bad fault. If some man did happen to do something uncreditable, he would quickly smooth it over by some other excellent play. All the men played together and each made his part a link in the chain of other parts. Dawley and Tommy probably put up the best game that they have played this season. Childs did wrell for his first game, while Leach and Stone, the old faithfuls, put up their usual star games. For Ashtabula. Savage was the individual star, getting all of the points for A. H. S. Conneaut—42. Ashtabula—7. Smith Childs Stone Leach Dawley Goals from field—Smith 7. Dawley 6, Stone 5, Leach 2. Goals from foul—Savage 7, Stone, Leach. CAN YOU IMAGINE Myra Griffey not asking questions? Mr. Henry with a “head of hair? Why Deweese’s favorite color is red? How it would seem always to have the auditorium warm enough for chapel? Miss Kahler saying “For the love of Mike? Harriet Stoke not dreaming? Oakley Graham wdth a red neck-tie? Miss Hodge chewing gum? Allen Wardwell not blushing? Jimmy Davis being able to spell? Mr. Helman minus perfume? How it would be if our Physics teac her didn’t say, “This piece of equipment is out of order.” Mildred Allen refusing to recite? Hal Tyler and Ralph Stone wearing each other’s clothes? Winnie Hill not worrying? Mr. Alva Belding will begin a series of lectures early in March on the subject, How to Choose Your High School Course.” Mr. Belding is well equipped to speak on this subject as he has, during his eight year course at C. H. S., taken nearly every subject in the curriculum and can give points upon all of them.
