went down in defeat at the hands of
the local High School at the "Y"

tervllle team were handicapped with
vaccinated arms, but played a steady

the locals was responsible for their
victory. The score was 64 to 14.
Tripp, at guard, and Tugwell, at
forward, were the stars for Wniter
ville.

pecially in the first half with nine
field goals- But in the second half
four Elizabeth City players, Modlin,
Lamb, McMullen and F. Seyffert, se
cured three field goals each, which
shows the uniformity of the playing.

mates, C. Seyffert and Quinn.
The line-up is as follows:
Wlnterville Eliz. City
