HIGH SCHOOL
WIHSII101
By a score of 11 to 7 the Skag
way High School Glrla basket bull
team defeated the White Pass team
in the gymnasium last night. The
series of games now stands two to
one in favor of the White Pass.
A largo and enthusiastic crowd
greeted the players last night and
.when the High, School team came
out on top the audience fairly went
wild. Both sides played exception
ally fine ball, and much, credit
should be given tbe losers for hold
ing tne score down as lojv as it is.
Although the High School team is
much lighter than their opponents
they showed the effect of practice,
and their sped a»d accuracy in
basket shooting won the game.
The contests between the two
teams have always been close, and
although the White Pass girls have
heretofore won by a few baskets
tney have by no means as yet
cinched the series.
Au exceptionally goou game i«»
the winning side was played by
Vivian TaiDot, as guard, who time
and again prevented the losers
from scoring. Verne Miller, as for
ward, was responsible for many
of the baskets, while Gertrude Lid
<iieoat, as center piloted the
game to victory. Lela Malun and
Edna Achison both, played consist
ently and aided in the team work
tbat counts bo much in any game.
For the losers Miss Muriel Stew
art was easily th.e star. At her
position of guard she prevent
ed the White Pass team from being
badly defeated. Martha Lee as cen
ter, alto played fine ball.
A dance followed the game which
was participate in by a large crowd
witi Vivian Talbot and Verne Mil
ler furnishing the music.
Twt pick-lip men's teams were
organized on the floor last night
aud gave an exhibition of "j'e old
stuff" ball, the final score being
3 to 5 in favor of the "Ruff Necks."
While the "Loafers" played a good
game they were too heavy on theii
fee* to compete with their thick
necked rivals.

Man Eating Sharks.
All of the trained and experienced ob
servers with me agreed hi saying that
near our coast Hue there was but little
danger from sharks for a man swim
ming. Accidents do occur, but they are
wholly exceptional—unlike what is true
In the Indian ocean and around Austra
lia. The white shark Is undoubtedly a
man eater, and Coles, who is prol'ably
more competent to pass judgment on
the question than any other man in the
United States, believes that the four
bathers killed and partly eaten off tiie
New Jersey coast in the summer of
1010 were all victims of one rather
small straggler of this formidable spe
cies. When ill's straggler was cap
tured it was found that there were hu
man bones and tlesh in it, and with its
capture all attacks on swimmers ceas

The Flag at Trenton.
The flag "that Washington had with
him wheu he crossed the Delaware to
attack Trenton'' was not the Stars
and Stripes. Washington crossed the
Delaware in December. 177»S, and the
Stars and Stripes did not have an ex
istence until the June of 1777, when It
was voted Into being bv the congress.
The flag that waved over General
Washington on his way to and from
Trenton consisted of thirteen stripes,
alternate red and white, as at present,
with a blue canton emblazoned with
the crosses of St. (fl-orge and St. An
drew, as in the British flag. The flrst j
time the present Stars and Stripes were |
flung to the breeze was on the day of |
the battle of Oriskany at Fort Stan- j
wis, Aug. 0, 1777.- Exchange.
