All three of the Pinehurst backs were effective, but Miss Black t(ad the' difficult task of stop ping Miss Moses, and she gave a great performance. The Pinehurst forwards play ed their usual excellent game. Clarice Richardson, the bank er’s daughter, who has as much poise as a star college quarter back, makes every effort count and passes the ball with de ception which befuddles the op- . position. She is the Jceystone of the Pinehurst forwards at tack, and Evelyn Martin is the leading basket maker. The Pinehurst team never worked better than last night and deserved to win. It was a better team than Cameron, (Continued on page 2) Lester’s Enjoy Wahoo Wins Trials Title GRAND JUNCTION, Tenn., March 5.—(£*)-—Lester's Enjoy Wahoo, owned by Dr. B. S.
