Sports EVERETTS WINS HARD FOUGHT CONTEST FROM JAMESVILLE HERE, 16-10 * • 111 a hard-fought game here last Wednesday night, Jamesville lost in ■ second meeting with Everetts, by a score of 16-10. The first half got oil to a good start when Howard Uaylord caged a pretty field shot in the first few seconds of play. Over-anxious in their desire to win, both teams set- 1 tied down after this to a point where * the brand of bail was not so good as it was at a previous game played be tween the two here. After the first few minutes of play, Everetts gained and built up a small lead, and James ville was at a loss to overcome it. Both teams were off in form, and „ especially was this the case with the Jamesville five, for outside of the! first few minutes of play they failed to come up to the standard set in previous games. The Jamesville boys were there with their efforts, and * surely they made it interesting for Everetts, but the breaks were just against them, and many of the play ers too readily took their ill-luck to heart. The playing of Cherry was not * quite up to its usual form, while James Brown for Jamesville was eas ily the real man of the game. He fell 3 points below Cherry in the scor-J ing, but his floor work was done in a much more attractive manner. This is Everett's second win over Jamesville, it having won the first game 10-9. An umpire unexperienced at the task caused many protest! when er ror after error was commttev~ ani poor decisions n. 'Je.

Several teams are making splendid progress in their prac tice work, and the outcome of the series can not be consider**! as sewed up as yet by any one team. Everetts is now holding the cup, while Jamesville had it last year. Williamston Defeats Washington, 33 to 12 Playing a good all 'round game, the local town team defeated the one flow Washington here last Tuesday night by a score of 38-12. The I'ocai.> had their opponents outclassed in every part iff the game, the lloor work o'" the locals being exceptionally smooth. Howard Gaylord led both teams in lhe number of points scored when h made 1!) of the local's 33 points, The game was cleanly played throughout, ai.d roughness was decidedly absent. For the past several weeks the lo cal town team has played various teams from all over this section on Tuesday and Thursday nights, and during that time they have/gained the reputation of being one of the best teams in the eastern part of the State. Many Attend Everett s- Jamesville Game Here While the attendance at the James ville-Kveretts game here last AVednes day, night was not as large, as it was at a game between these, two teams bin' two weekri ago, conservative es timates hold that there were -ir«o to see the contest. Jainesville was well Lr presented, and so was Everetts More local people saw the last con r test than the. first one. The reformer should be patient with us. After all, the world's wiekwl ness keep.; him in a job.

He partici pated in the world series in 1924, when the Senators won the title. He was then "farmed out" and is how a i member of a team in the Interna tional League and played stellar ball U'st season. Fans of the two sports were glad to see him again, even if his basketball uniform did not become him as well as the diamond clothes. , Tb.e game was thoroughly enjoyed.
