Piedmont High School evened up the score with the LaSalle Tos-sers by taking the Cumberland aggregation into camp by the overwhelming de- cisive score of 56-29. The P. H. S. Basketers got off to a fine start when Smith dropped in a pretty one fnom a daafngerous angle. This was followed in rapid succession with a two pointer by Jenkins and then another by Smith. LaSalle came into its own when Kearney oafged an accurate shot fnom beneath the basket. During the res-t of the half the game was a nip and tuck affair, neither team gaininga decided advantage. P. H. S. miss- ed continuously but led at half time 21-29. With the bitter memory of a recent defeat aft the hands of the LaSalle Quint rankling in their minds the P. H. S. boys started the second hnalf with a maze of bewildering pass work and accurate sh-ootling. LaSalle exhibited va fine fighting spirit and played a clean, fast game fora team that was be- ing entirely eclipsed. Smith was unquestionably P'iedmon't's stellar perform- er, h-ooping 13 from the field. Several minutes after the second half com- menced it was evident thalt Piedmont woulld have a runmalway and from then on LaSalle at no time loomed a d-angerolus opponent. The Piedmont team played one of the finest games of the season and completely outplayed their rlivals in alll stages of the game. Kearney starred for LaSalle and played an excellent floor game. The Davis boys gave the return game to the Riedmont ,boys on Febru- ary 29. It would be hard to pick out a star on either team as fall the boys played their best. The score from the beginning ran very close. One of the Davis boys got injured and the game vwa-s held up four awhile until he was azble to play agacin, thus taking the time in which our boys could have had a chance to bring up the score. ,A.t the end of the game the score was 25-19 in favor of Davis.
