The weather made it impossible. Jan. 26.—Rev. Johnson and Miss White were at chapel. The student body was very much pleased with the vocal solos given by Miss White and the short talk by Rev. Johnson. Girls of the high school met in the auditor- ium for the purpose of forming an Athletic Association. Now we have some competition. Jan. 30.—Big thuse meeting. Com- petitive cheering, girls on one side and boys on the other. Wheeler New- ton, the new cheer leader certainly has got the pep and we feel absolutely safe in saying that the spirit and pep shown at this meeting has not been equalled in years. Over fifty tickets were sold in less than five minutes for the big game. The basket ball team sang for us ‘Just Before the Battle Mother,” while Lowden carried the tune in the basket. Their rare artis- tic ability in temperament charmed the audience of sympathetic listeners. Now the big game. New Straitsville defeated the girls by a small score but our boys completely outclassed the visitors by a score of 51-27. n alum- nus said it wasn’t so much the scare as it was the organized cheering and the pep shown by the high school.

The Scarlet and Gray Stedem for Lowden, Peoples for Franz, Gilkey for Stark. 10 foot with them and we didn’t so they beat us. The game was a colse one and the score was tied several times but in the last half they ran off with four fields and also the game. Morrison played a strong game for,McArthur until he was put out on pensonal fouls. He shot several fields and made ten out of eleven fouls. N. H. S. 18 M. H. S. 26 Burnell Right Forward . Cherry Moon Left Forward Stratton Center Dales Wood Paffenbarger Right Guard Hartley Left Guard Morrison Substitutions—Patton for Hartley, Jackson for Patton, Contner for Mor- rison. Pomeroy Game On Jan. 23, we hit the rail for Pom- eroy. On the K M. from Athens on down, we heard quite an interesting debate ( ?) between the conductor ami a waitress, and as usual, the woman had the last word and a very em- phatic word it was, too. The game was played in the Arm- ory, which is about the size of our public square, mebbe larger. We’re getting better on a large floor because we tied Pomeroy several times, they beat us on fouls. We passed the ball all around them but couldn’t hit the basket, and because Marietta and Pomeroy tied 7-7 and Marietta took the 0. U. tournament last year and have practically the same team for 1920.

Fri- day, Jan. 30, New StraitSville High sent over her delegation of basket ball players. Earlier in the season New Straitsville beat McArthur 20-19. McArthur beat us 26-18, and we beat New Straitsville 51-27. Friday, Feb. 6, both the girls’ and boys’ teams go to Straitsville for a re- turn game. We hope to have the same luck over there that we had here. Stratton came first with nine bas- kets to his credit; Lowden, seven fields, and Burnell four fields and four fouls.

McGrady Substitutions—Jackson for Wood, Hartley Grady. for Patton, Kuler for Me- The girls basket ball team of N. H. S. played their first game Friday eve- ning, January 29, 1920, and were de- feated. The New Straitsville girls have played all year and are used to the game. Although the score was marked 14-7 against N. H. S. it was the best girl’s game ever witnessed in the Y. gym, and if the girls keep up the good work their luck will turn as did the fellows. Mildred Barber, playing her first game, shot three fouls. We’re proud of Mildred. Capt. Rosser shot a clean field basket the first half, Lucille Stal- ter one the second. No use to say the guards played a good game, they’re old stand-bys. Edna Keplar played guard the second half in Muriel Baugh’s place. N. H. S. 7 N. S. H.
