would soon come along on their way

started down tho road. Then tho
Akors camo driving toward mo, and
the first thing I knew I was shooting.
"First I fired a shot at one of the

that Akors got out of tho wagon,
though I hadwoundod hi in before

sure way for the local boys to lose

The two tennis nre .. noiirlv bal
anced nnd their records so uniform
that nu unbiased fan will not predict
the outcome.
Ashland is heavier, fnller nnd have
more years of experience nnd cettnin
ly nre ns speedy. We excel in team

nt long range bankets nud nru always

As to the possibility of n doublo

third and fourth class village tenuis,
hnve become so bloated with the iden
of their own importance and cham
pionship caliber and supciiority over
coach and teams, (hat. they have de
cided to quit practicing, to loaf nud
bask in I he sunshine of former ic
tories. This Iihk cnuod ' them I"
lose the confidence of their school
in their chiinee of victory. In the
last game tho forwards wero so slow,
so inaccurate, so ovor-zenlous to tho
grandstand that they succeeded in
making two points after n score of
chances, the center doing nil the
point-making when given the ball.
More sleep, more practice, butter
team work, with the thoughts of
school rather than individual glory
may give Mcdfiird a chance for u
