C. H. S. BOYS VS. EX-HIGHS. Conneaut opened her basketball season with a rush Christmas night, both boys’ and girls’ teams playing. The high school boys’ team opened up on the Ex-highs with all guns at once and for a short time things looked bright, C. II. S. shooting the first basket and very nearly running rings around the old-timers, but such a fast game could hardly continue for great length of time as neither team was in the very “pink of condition; so along about the last of the first quarter the playing slowed down a trifle and just about that time the Ex-highs began to get the range of the varsity and several pretty baskets were hung up. The first quarter ended 6 to 5 in favor of the high school. Most all the Ex-highs had had the benefit of early basketball practice at college, so had a trifle the edge on the high school, and this training cropped out at the beginning of the second quarter and continued throughout the rest of the game. The high school team nevertheless put up a mighty scrappy game and at no time during the game were the Ex-highs positively sure that the game was their’s. When the final whistle blew the Ex-Highs had won 33 to 12. The line-up: C. H. S. Lafferty. . . R. Smith. . Kananen.. Burdic k. . . Woodworth L. G. R. G. . .C. . R. F . L. F Ex-Highs .....Splan . . .

VrCTROLAS VICTOR RECORDS H. B. KURTZ BRUNSWICK PHONOGRAPHS C. H. S. GIRLS VS. EX-HIGH GIRLS. I he High School girls and the Ex-High girls mussed hair in a fairly fast game which served as an appetizer for the boys game. I he Ex-Highs had just about the same line up as the regular High School team of two years ago, and most of them showed their old time pep and “fight but were held down in fine shape by the High School girls. The game was made exceptionally interesting as both teams agreed to play under boys’ rules. The line-up: H. S Ex-Highs Elizabeth Tinney...............L.

Dorothy Bacon Bernice Humble...................C.....................Edna Benson Mae Whitmore....................R. F................Hazel Coughlna Leota Babbitt..................L.

On h rid ay night, January 7, the basketball team accompanied by a large body of ardent rooters, journeyed to Ashtabula Harbor an(l and well, we gave em a highty good game anyway. The blowing of the opening whistle found C. II. S. on her toes and ready to go the first quarter. It was fast and only one goal was made. I hat by V oodworth of C. II. S. When the second quarter fis started Harbor s lineup was slightly changed. AVenner being put in at left forward and from thence on throughout the game Harbor s machine seemed to work pretty smoothly. Wenner made 9 of Harbor’s 17. C. II. S. showed her few weak spots and many strong spots, the weak spots being mainly the lack of a good offensive. Our defensive worked to perfection, but for some reason we just seemed out of luck on the offensive. Throughout, the game was fast and rough. In fact, it was reported after the game that Englesbee of Harbor had suffered a broken shoulder. Hard luck. May be he’d be refreshed by a hot sawdust frappe. Of course in every game somebody has to question the referee and in this game he did not seem to be quite strict enough. He only called two personal fouls where from all appearances ten times that number would have been better. The final score was 17 to 7 in Harbor’s favor. JUST A LITTLE DIFFERENT-A SHADE THE BEST.
