Taking Form
We commend the action of one of
the national weeklies (Liberty) in
printing the full text of the Consti
tution and its Amendments. While
we probably won't get any rake-off
from the excess sales, we are going
to recommend that every one of our
readers get a copy and read that'
grand old document carefully. We
fear too many Americans are sadly
ignorant of just what the Constitu
tion does say. It’s worth reading
over again, anyway.

P O I M LOSE
L GAME TO
After beating Jacksonville, Gold
Hill and Talent to come Into a tie
with Phoenix for the southern divi
sion championship of the County,
the Central Point basketball squad's
hopes for victory were dashed when
they were taken to a 31 to 16 defeat
at the hands of the l'hoentx quintet.
Both teams were fighting hard for
the right to play against the winners
of the northern division
for the
County Championship.
The Pointers, playing a fast and
speedy game, took the lead at the
start only to keep It until the second
quarter when Phoenix took the lead
and maintained It until the end of
the game. Bill Grimes, unable to
play on account of poison oak and
Ernest Lathrop, going out on fouls
during the game, handicapped the
team greatly. Many fouls were made
by both teams in an effort to win
the game. In a last few minutes rally
the Phoenix team made several bas
kets which put them far In the lead.
Those seeing action were; Rich
ard Jewett, capt., Pink and Blue
O’Connor. Roger Lawrence, Ernest
Lathrop, Arthur Coplnger and Ken
neth Hood Ivan Harrington, referee.
Playing as a preliminary game,
the Phoenix second string was wal
loped badly, when the Central
Point second string beat them 39 to
14. Winning this game gave the
Pointers second team the honor of
winning ull of their games this sea
son with "B ” class schools.
Those playing on the second string
were: Lome Webster, Alan Jewett,
I^eonard Janes, Simon Pappe, E.
Gebhard and Jules Powers. Ivan
Harrington, referee.
These two games ended the con
ference hdsketbnfl games for Central
Point. Coach Boswell slates, how
ever. that he will try an arrange
for other games to be played be
tween now and the first week in
March when the tournament in Ash
