Yellowjackets Chalk Up Third Victory Syracuse racked up its third victory by defeating the Bremen Lions, who haven’t won a game thus far this season, by a score of 47 to 36 at the Syracuse gym Tuesday night. Syracuse took the lead early in the first stanza with Swenson bucketing two quick baskets. Midway in the first period Lions tied the sflore with a racing, battling squad of “Bees” again going ahead to end the first quarter with a one point lead, 12 to 11. Syracuse, now using four subs and holding an eight point lead half way thru the second quarter found Bremen, with some quick action play, creeping up to within four points of the now worried Jackets, as the buzzer sounded, ending the first half 25 to 21. Syracuse, working hard as they pulled onward toward victory during the second half, downed the Bremen Lions. Third quarter score was 36 to 28, with a final score of 47 to 36. Bremen, several times thru out the game, tied their hosts, but never did they maintain the lead. Bremen’s Rowe was high scorer for the Lions with 12 points, all of which were beautiful shots from way, way out. Bill Dorsey, senior squad player, and teammate Bob Swenson, junior, tied for high honors for the winning Jackets with 11 points each. (continued on page 9)

Aid Postal Delivery By Early Holiday Mailing Instructions for mailing Christmas letters and packages will be distributed by the Post Office the first week of December, Postmaster Ernest Bushong has announced.

Special delivery letters should not be included with bundles of ordinary mail, advises the U. S. Postmaster. z Letters and cards should be wrapped in bundles and labelled in accordance with the instructions and labels provided by the Post Office. Additional labels are available at the post office. These instructions advise that patrons: 1. Deposit mail as early as possible, preferably during morning hours. 2. Keep the mail in each bundle faced in the same direction. 3. Bundle long letters in separate packages from short letters. 4. Do not mix first-class and third-class mail. Metered mail (which does not require cancellation) should be kept separate from mailing bearing postage stamps. 5. Address mail matter completely and legibly, using zone numbers if known. Avoid abbreviations as much as possible. Always indicate your return address. 6. Use twine and tie securely both ways.
