The Scarlet and Gray 13 N. H. S. at Deleware The 7th of March N. H. S. played Stivers High of Dayton at Deleware. This game was very fast and interest- ing, N. H. S. not giving up until the last minute of play. The final score ended 28 to 19. LINE UP N. H S. 19 Stivers 28 Love Right Forward Hullinger Aumiller Left Forward Sajornty Howell Center Fenner Edington Right Guard Pallock Kontner Left Gurrd Hollen Field Goals: Love, Aumiller4, Howell 2, Hullinger 3, Sajornty 2, Fenner 3, Hollen 2, Pallock 2. Foul Goals: Aumiller 7, Sajornty 4. N. II. f 3., as is seen by the above last two games, did not bring home the “bacon” from Deleware. However our boys all say they would not have missed attending the state meet for anything. Marietta the unchallenged state champions have only been defeated twice this year. It is quite a notable and praiseworthy fact that N. H. S. was one of those two teams, who could beat this fast team. They were the acknowledged peers of all the teams attending the meet. Three cheers for N. H. S. Basket Ball Team of 1913-1914. Base Ball and Track The fine spring weather we have been having the last two weeks has summoned the Base Ball and Track Enthusiasts out into the open. All aboard for a victorious season in these two branches of athletics. N. H. S. has plenty of promising material and now it is only a question of time and practice. Come out fellow, and boost for the glory of old Nelsonville High. OUR MAIL BAG Dear Editor, Plese tel me wy Royden Lancaster cums too skule so ofen eatin a dill pikel? Yors respectively, I. M. A.

Dear Editor, Could you please tell me why “Lazy” Edington goes up Fort Street every night and where he goes? This has been puzzling me for some time. Yours truly, A. Gossip. Answer—We very stealthily followed Mr. Edington one evening last week. Our pur posed revelation must have been torseen by this gentleman, for we were gently tapped upon the “bean” with a life sized brick-bat and the next thing we knew the town clock was striking four. Our determination is voiced oy Poe in these words “never- again. ’ Mr. Editor, What is the class color of the “Freshies?” A. Soph. Answer -Look at their actions. In these the color is personified. Mr. Editor, When are the Juniors going to come across with that promised banquet? Answer—The Junior represenitives of the Staff refer you to Mr. Ferree and Mr. Timmons. Mr. Editor, What verse in the Bible best de- scribes a high school student?

Basket Ball. The basket ball season of N. H. S. has ended with Nelsonvilie winning the last two out of three games. This year we had a better schedule than any previous year, and have play- ed the best teams in the State. The season ended with 8 victories and five defeats. The last three games played are as follows: N. H. S. at Athens. On March 3, N. H. S. went to Athens and won a decisive victory of 30 to 15. Ahens held N. H. S. to a tie the first half 11 to 11. but in the second half they had no show whatever, the second half ending 19 to 4 The Basket Shoot- ing of Love, Aumiller and Howell was good and the guarding of Edington and Kontner was fine.
