Embalming supplies and "mine morgues" were brought from Marian and Benton in automobiles early in the morning as the bodies were brought up. Hundreds of workers in this exclusively coal mining town of "Bloody Williamson county" kept the vigil through the night and morning as they awaited work of their comrades. It wus the most disastrous mine accident since 1918, when the Royalton mine claimed fifty in an explosion.

In spite of the cold weather many fans attended tillgames. The first half of the girls’ game was very close throughout and at the rest period, the score was tied 4 4 The locals won the game iu the second halt by the fine goal shooting by Miss A. Dowling. The Geneva boys' handicapped by having no gym. in which to play, put a fine exhibition against Coach Center's quintet, and they deserve much cerdit for their game fight The game was more closely contested than the score would indicate. At the end of the Hirst half, the visitors were trailing, 15-9.

Their passing was good, however and th -ir playing showed improvement. The Geneva team is composed of well built athletes and if they had a gym they undoubtedly would have one of th? strongest teams in lhe county.

H. 8. girls were defated] by the speedy Auburn high girls by a score of 28-12. The Auburn gymnasium is much smaller than the local taem is accustomed to playing ou and as a result many fouls were called. Most of Auburn's points were scored via the free throw route. Andrews, D.H .8. forward was put out of the game on four personal fouls, while Farr had three against him, Beal two and several others one against them. Captain Dorwin, who injured a leg in the game at Portland a week ago. played only about two minutes in the last half. Steele, who injured a few ribs when he fell from a sled while on a bodsled party Tuesday night, was in the game only a portion of the time. The lineup at the start of the game was Beal and Andrews, forwards; Lammiman. center; Farr and White, guards. Andrews and Farr each had three personals on them before the end of the first half, and they were taken from the game and Baker and Steele were put in the game again after the second half had progressed a few minutes and Andrews committed another foul which put him out of the game. Farr was shifted to forward and Stevie returned to the game at floor guard. The scoring of the Decatur team was well divided last night. Farr made 3 field goals; Baker, 1 field goql Steele. 2 field goals; Andrews, 2 field goals and one free throw; Beal, 3 field goals and two free throws; and Bud White caged 1 field goal. The score book was lost in transit last night and could not be located today, making it impossible to give the complete box score. The D. H. S. five plays the I’nion Center quintet here tonight.
