INTER-SCHOOL BASKETBALL
LEAGUE
Last Friday evening the Cooks and
Dairy Boys played their game. When
time was called at the end of the game
the score stood 18 to 15 in the Dairy7
Boys favor.
On Monday evening the Blacksmiths
and Brewer Hall played an interesting
game, the score at the end standing 26
to 16 in favor of the Blacksmiths. The
Carpenters and Gardeners played on
the same evening, the Gardeners win
ning by a score of 15 to 7.
Tuesday evening the Farmers and
Tailors were o n the floor, the
Tailors winning by a score of 32 to 6.
The Farmers showed some improvement
in team work, but when it came to hit
ting the basket they were about a farm
er's mile away. The Harnessmakers and
Printers were next, and while the Har
nessmakers came out with the pie by a
score of 30 to 9. we must give credit to
the little fellows who are members of the
Printers' team. A plucky lot, out
weighed, over-reached, but not out-played.
For their size they are the best
drilled team in the school. C. E. L.
