THE CHIMES 23 the team, in studying the rules and discussing various points of importance. Some hard practice has been put into this game by the squad, which consists of the greater part of the girls. Every one of them is anxious to get on the team. The results shown so far are very encouraging. It is hoped that the squad will produce a snappy team, and will be able to stand any other basket ball team representing a school of this size. The girls are showing good spirit and are co-operating readily in forming a team. Catherine Murphy, '26. SCITUATE HIGH VS. DUXBURY HIGH The boys' basketball five scored their first victory Mon- day night, January 25, when they defeated the Duxbury quintet by a score of 20-19. The boys found it hard, at first, to get the ball through the lanky boys from Duxbury. As a result the first ten minutes of play found Duxbury in the lead. In the second quarter, however, the Scituate boys got their eyes on the hoop and scored enough baskets to put them in the lead. The Duxbury boys caged a few baskets them- selves and the end of the half found Scituate leading by two points. During the third quarter the teams played about evenly and the score stood seventeen all. The next period Duxbury caged another basket, but Scituate also found the hoop for another one. Scituate also caged a foul shot, which later proved to be the winning point.

THE CHIMES 25 I'll take this pair, said the young athlete who had been looking at track shoes. The other make will give you much better service in the long run, said the salesman. Oh, but Fm not in any of the long runs. I'm only in the fifty-yard dash. m No girl buries her nose so deeply in The Chimes that she can't get at it with a powder puff. Some girls are so dumb they think the Mayflower Compact is a new kind of rouge. Colton: I fell last night and struck my head on the piano. Panetta : Hurt yourself ? Colton : No, luckily I hit the soft pedal. King : What ho, the guard ! Prime Minister: Sire, the guard has lost his umbrella and it is raining. Kin: Then, what ho, the mud-guard.
