(TIC t a V?DU i'T'i Came Played Yesterday Resulted in 4 50 Victor for Locals. , The Concord High School basket ball team defeated the Winecoff High on the latter' court Wednesday after noon to tho score of 40-2S.

However, after the first stage of newness had passed off the Concord team found the bnsket, nfter which they scored repeatedly until the ref erees whistle announced the end or he contest, when the .score stood, Concord 40, Winecoff :!X. The game was clean and interesting from start to finish. The Winecoff team had tlie advantnge in weight and in lsdng used to the court, but the Concord team had the advantage in team work and lu passing the ball. Since the Concord team organized, last year under the coaching of t M. Whiteside, they have lost only one game out of the number they have played. The team work of Ibis quin tet Is excellent. They play a clean game, almost free from foul, and are very clever in passing the hall anil in caging goals Isith as Individuals and as a team. Wineroff has some splen did players, hut they are a" little weak on team work. The feature of the game yesterday was the remarkable shot made from a distant and difficult position by Nevln Sappenlield and the freak over head shot by Arthur Faggart.
