Athletic Contest Between H. S. Literary Societies.

Two hard fought basketball games took place at the high school gymnasium Thursday night, when the quintettes of the Lincoln and Webster literary societies had what was planned to have been the last game of the season. The fact that the boys’ game resulted in a tie, however, caused Principal Dean to announce that the game would be played off later. The teams were keyed up to a high pitch of effort and it required the greatest watchfulness on the part of Profs. Dean and Sharp to prevent roughness, but they called all fouls and enforced the rules of sportsmanship by ordering bne. each side out of the game for roughness. At the end of the second half the score stood 15 to 15 and it was agreed to play five minutes more. Each. 6 side succeeded in throwing one basket from fpul during this time and the score was again a tie and*'Mr. Dean decided that it would be played off at a later data The Webster team of girls defeated the Lincoln team by the score of 6 to 4 in a game that w:w very interesting.
