A NEWSPAPER —NOT AN ORGAN

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1039, SYRACUSE, INDIANA

ONLY 43 VOTES CAST IN TOWN ELECTION A total of only forty-six votes were cast at the Syracuse Town election last Tuesday. Os the for-ty-six, two were mutilated, leaving a total of forty-four legal ballots. The low number of votes cast was due to the fact that there was only one ticket on the ballot, the Republicans running unopposed. Previous to the election, there had been plans made for a Citizen’s ticket, but it did not materialize and the Republicans had things mostly their own way. Officers elected and the number of votes they receive! are as follows: Fielden Sharp, Trustee of the Ist ward, 41; Madison F. Jones, Trustee of the 2nd ward, 43; Everett C. Young, Trustee of the 3rd ward, 44, and Ernest O. Buchholz, clerk-treasurer, 44. New members of the board are Young and Jones, the other two remaining in office. MRS.

Bucher’s official contest yield of 93.37 bushels of corn per acre is expected to place him high in the local division of the national contest. This yield will produce as much corn from 5 acres as the average farmer in the United States harvests from 11 or more, and is one of the best corn yields reported for this part of the state in the contest to date.

ONE DOLLAR A YEAH

Before a packed house, the boys in the gold and blue uniforms dominated the play last Friday from B:4S on, and soundly whipped a previously confident Cromwell team 47 to 25. The evening was somewhat marred, however, by the home ponies (second team) losing 16 to 9. As to the big game, Syracuse drew first blood when Beck sank an angle shot for the first points of the season. The first quarter was rather quiet as a whole, as the teams were settling down and adapting themselves to their first game. The score was 8 to 6 Syracuse, when the second period began. Then the Yellow Jackets began to pull away, scoring 12 more points to Cromwell's 8, although at the half, the black and silver were by no means conquered. In the third quarter, Syracuse sored only 8 points but held Cromwell to .5, making the score 28 to 19. • The bqys really opened up in the last period. Kern and LeCount started sinking them fast and furious, and of course, the rest of the rest of the team assisted nobly to set up these shots. The boys rolled up 19 points for an average of over two baskets a minute. Cromwell got 6 points, and so _the. final score -was 47 to 25. The visitors were slightly rough committing 14 fouls to give the Blue 21 free throws. They only capitalized on 9, however. Our boys made nine fouls to give Cromwell 9 chances for a charity point. They garnered 3, so Syracuse’s percentage was higher than Cromwell’s by nearly 10 per cent. The 9 Yellow Jackets committed only one tout in the second half. Nineteen field goals out of 66 attempts to Cromwell’s 11 out of 31, gave Cromwell an edge of 6 1-2 per eent in this field. To ' date; LeCount is high point man ■ with 15. points and Kern and Beck are tied for second with 11 each. (Cont. on page 8.)
