(’. J. PRF.W, The Florist, State St. Phone 1281 15 C. H. S. VS. ASHTABULA H. S. Ashtabula came to Conneaut on January 9 for the first county game, looking for an easy win. They were surprised by a “come-back” second half r'or Conneaut, and finally managed to win by one point, 25-24. At the start of the game, Brooks, who is well known down here, rang up eight, points for A. 1. S. in two minutes. Then C. H. S. pulled together, and the half ended 14-tU. in favor of the visitors. Strong shooting by Work, Evans, and Childs in the second half brought the score to 24-23, the only time Conneaut was in the lead. Stuart, Ashtabula’s “tiny” center, lowered the ball into the basket for Ashtabula’s final victory, four minutes before time was up. Line-up and score: A. H. S.-25. C. H. S.-24.

As Ashtabula high school had come to Conneaut so did Harbor.--that is, looking for an easy game. They were sadly disappointed, for C. H. S. did herself glory, and won by the fast score of 26-24. Work and Evans both starred with baskets while Devney was Harbor’s crack. Loomis played a fast game, guarding Poad, one of the fastest forwards in this part of the state, so well that he did not score on him. Line-up and score: H. H. S.-24. C. H. S.-26.

Lack of team work was apparent, and the shooting also was wild. Evans was missed from the team, and this partly accounts for the loss. Nolan and Mulvihill starred for the visitors, while Jacobs played true to form. Dunn, too, played a splendid game. The final score was 20 to 19. Memorial-29. C. H. S.-19.

16 THE TATTLER and shower baths before the boys, and illustrated to them the good of athletics. So let’s answer the plea for more school spirit, and everybody put his shoulder to the wheel and push. Just before the Ashtabula game. Coach Smith called the basketball players together and after several attempts to elect a captain, it was decided to wait until another time, and Merl Childs was placed in temporarily because no majority could be obtained for either of the candidates, Childs. Dunn, and Evans. Just before the Harbor game Childs was elected captain by a majority. A CONVERSATION BETWEEN TWO GREAT MEN. Robert Halliday, Woodrow Wilson. “Well, well, Bob! how are you? I am tickled to see you!” “Same to you Woody. How are you? I suppose you are still as great in your part of the world as 1 am in mine?” “Exactly. And are you still at C. H. S.? “Yes, I feel that 1 can run the school so much better while right on the job, and you are still at Washington?” “Tut, tut. Bob! Certainly. I can run the country so much better here. How is the faculty behaving at C. H. S.?” “Very well, so far, I assure you, though I’m very strict with them. How’s Congress?” “O pretty fair, how’s the team?” “Light, but fast, how’s the Tariff?” “Light, but slow, Bob. How’s Smith and Varsity?” “Both still slow.” “Too bad. Say, Bob, Old Horse, got any suggestions?” “Yes,—remodel that currency bill to suit Duff Brace. Kick Bryan out of office, and turn Republican.” “Thanks, I will. May I suggest—” “Surely.” “Tell III Henry to remodel his wheel, and stop Ted Quinn’s pompadour. Good-bye, Bob, I hear Bryan calling. Coming, Bill!” “Good-bye, Woody, Au Revoir. And then he Woodrow, Row, Row.” [Extract from Cleveland Plain Dealer.] John Hazeltine from Conneaut was stopping at the Statler hotel. He wanted to telephone to a town about thirty miles away. He asked the girl on the switch board to get him long distance and follow-ed it up with asking the price. “It will cost you fifty cents for three minutes.” she said, sweetly. “Fifty cents: Ye Gods!” cried John, “I didn’t want to buy stock in the company, I only wanted to talk a minute or so! Why! Why! In Conneaut we can call up hades for fifty cents!” “Yes, I know, sir,” replied the girl, “but isn’t that within your citv limits?”
