The third and fourth games were won by the Stars and the other games were pink teas in comparison to these two games. With the fifth and ; decisive game coming up. the i town madly partisan in its sup port of its respective choice, we squared off and everything short of an actual murder resulted. I Fire Alarm The final score was High 'School 29 and White Stars 19 and perhaps the conversion of 12 foul shots by Vince Yadcn, who shot all foul tries for us and who went the last eight times to the line to sink in succession every shot without a break, gives to that wonderful lad the glory due him. The Klamath Republican ' file at the News-Herald office ! gives a column write-up of the game (too long to print here, list ing a fire alarm, the fights be i tween enraged rooters and the personal damage to the players from spectators standing along all four sides of the playing court. Jimmy Swansen, who was lo cated then in the opera house block gave us use of his place for our dressing room and was host to the team and the dad ! of every one of us for the hour I or so after the gume when we j were getting the needed medical attention and a wclcemc calming down. Repercussions Bad blood lasted on through with the high school board fin ally having to pass some rather drastic legislation before the school itself quieted down. A fight two years later between two opponents of this game (and any old tinier can tell you of this fight and the fighters' names) was a direct repercussion of the Mong Trophy scries. And the cup, with the name of the play ers became the first trophy of the many on display at KUHS now. High School Profit An unusual feature was that Mong had stipulated that after expenses wero paid the balance of the funds were to go to some local organization. The Ladies club (forerunner of the Library club) tho fire department and the Iliiih, School Athletic assoc- iiilion were nominated. Eachicd. ticket bore a stub for voting and !

Army Turns Mauler Down As Too Old WASHINGTON, Jan. 12 JP) The war department told Jack Dcmpsey Saturday that he was too old at 46 for the army, since he had no prior military service. The former world's heavy weight champion applied for en listment In New York City and asked that his age be waived. In a letter to tho New York recruiting office, Col. Harold N. Gilbert, who directs the army re cruiting activities, said, however, existing law prevented approval of the request. Original enlistments are re stricted by statute to men be' tween 18 and 35. Only able- bodied former servicemen may re-enlist if beyond 33, and this exception permitted the accep tance of Man Mountain Dean, and others. Dcmpsey is well within the recently-expanded draft regis tration age limits of 18 to 64, but not liable to compulsory mill tary service. ABC Leader Sees New Tourney Mark ST.

"I always forget where to sign these things,"' ha grinned as he made a great show of searching for the well-known dotted line. - But everyone knew he was joking."
