CHAMPS BEAVER VICTIMS Converse Given One Point Defeat in Real Thriller Here Last Friday Evening. TWO MISSED SHOTS IN FINAL 30 SECONDS GIVE REAL THRILL Beavers To Close Schedule Friday Night Against Howard at the Local Gym. Miss Dorothy Masters, local Latin instructor, has been appointed How-ard County chairman for the eighth annual state high school Latin con-test which is conducted by the Indi-ana university extension division and the Classical Section of the Indiana State Teachers' Association. Approx-imately 15,000 high school students of Indiana took hart in this contest last year. Mrs. Adele K. Bittner, of die I. U. extension division, is in : barge of the details for the contest. The county contests in Latin will be held February 28; the district con-tests on March 21, and the state con- : est is scheduled for April 3 at Indi-ana university. The state contest at Bloomington will be held in connec-tion with the meeting of the Classical Association of the Middle West and South, thus giving the Indiana teach-ers an opportunity of sharing in the program and of meeting the leading scholars in the classical field, and the visiting teachers, who are interested in contests, an opportunity of seeing how the Indiana state contest is con-ducted. The contest this year has been div-ided into four divisions as follows: 1B— open to all pupils who complete first year Latin at the end of the sec-ond semester of this school year; II— open to all pupils who complete sec-ond year Latin at the end of either semester; III— open to pupils who complete Cicero at the end of either semester; and IV— open to all pupils who complete Vergil at the end of either semester. The two receiving the highest grade in each division of the county contest will represent their county in the dis-trict contest and the one receiving the highest grade in each division of the district contest will represent his district in the state contest. A gold, a silver and a bronze medal will be awarded to the contestants ranking first, second, and third, in each divis-ion in the state contest. First place winners last year were, Carol Rolfe," Selma; Virginia Miller and Marshall Smith, George Washing-ton high school of Indianapolis; Noble Holderroad, Milford; and Alice M. Studebaker, P. A. Allen high school, Bluffton. very interesting and instructive. Maintaining their record of having defeated every team they have played two games with this year, the Green-town Beavers handed the Converse High School, champions of Miami County, their second loss of the year last Friday night by the closest of margins, 16- 15 in a close and rough game. From the beginning it was a de-fensive battle, with Greentown con-trolling the tip and making the Con-verse defense spread quickly. Block and pivot plays by the Beavers were forcing the visitors to foul them to stop baskets and the Kingmen began counting foul shots, gathering in 3 before Converse snagged a fielder. The quarter ended 4- 3 for Greentown. The second period was a repitition of the first with the visitors chalking up two fielders and the locals one fielder and a free toss, bringing the count to even terms for the first time during the game. The locals were playing a heady game, making the visitors commit fouls to stop them, while Converse was employing a. quick break for the basket, shooting at random. Con-verse took the lead soon after the third period started by caging two fielders, b the Beavers came right back wi a fielder and a free toss to keep ' the running. The visitors co ed again from the field to make 4 17., der: 17.91. foAllowBeedavbeyr anotncr immediately made it 13- 12 for Converse at the gun. Durino, the final quarter, rough tactics by the visitors caused the re-moval of F. Miller from the game on personals. The Beavers snagged a fielder to take the lead 14- 13, but Converse came right back with a two timer to again take the lead, 15- 14. On a perfectly executed block play, McQuiston counted from the floor to give the Kingmen the lead. From this time on it was a possession of the ball game, with the Beavers hold-ing the ball most of the time and suc-ceeding in holding the visitors away from the hoe?. On an out of bounds play a Converse man was loose under the basket and took two shots one unmolested and the other hurried by local , guards, in the last thirty sec-onds of play. They both missed, al-though they lung on the rim for an eternity it ieemed. Then the gun cracked with the Green and White floating high, 11- 15. The preliminary game was a fast one with the loals shading the visit-ors, 27- 17. Th play of Doan and Durham featureL A feature of the games of late which has been aerlooked in accounts published, is th, exhibition of the physical educatio class of the Junior High School.

Approx-imately 15,000 high school students of Indiana took hart in this contest last year. Mrs. Adele K. Bittner, of die I. U. extension division, is in : barge of the details for the contest. The county contests in Latin will be held February 28; the district con-tests on March 21, and the state con- : est is scheduled for April 3 at Indi-ana university. The state contest at Bloomington will be held in connec-tion with the meeting of the Classical Association of the Middle West and South, thus giving the Indiana teach-ers an opportunity of sharing in the program and of meeting the leading scholars in the classical field, and the visiting teachers, who are interested in contests, an opportunity of seeing how the Indiana state contest is con-ducted. The contest this year has been div-ided into four divisions as follows: 1B— open to all pupils who complete first year Latin at the end of the sec-ond semester of this school year; II— open to all pupils who complete sec-ond year Latin at the end of either semester; III— open to pupils who complete Cicero at the end of either semester; and IV— open to all pupils who complete Vergil at the end of either semester. The two receiving the highest grade in each division of the county contest will represent their county in the dis-trict contest and the one receiving the highest grade in each division of the district contest will represent his district in the state contest. A gold, a silver and a bronze medal will be awarded to the contestants ranking first, second, and third, in each divis-ion in the state contest. First place winners last year were, Carol Rolfe," Selma; Virginia Miller and Marshall Smith, George Washing-ton high school of Indianapolis; Noble Holderroad, Milford; and Alice M. Studebaker, P. A. Allen high school, Bluffton. very interesting and instructive. Maintaining their record of having defeated every team they have played two games with this year, the Green-town Beavers handed the Converse High School, champions of Miami County, their second loss of the year last Friday night by the closest of margins, 16- 15 in a close and rough game. From the beginning it was a de-fensive battle, with Greentown con-trolling the tip and making the Con-verse defense spread quickly. Block and pivot plays by the Beavers were forcing the visitors to foul them to stop baskets and the Kingmen began counting foul shots, gathering in 3 before Converse snagged a fielder. The quarter ended 4- 3 for Greentown. The second period was a repitition of the first with the visitors chalking up two fielders and the locals one fielder and a free toss, bringing the count to even terms for the first time during the game. The locals were playing a heady game, making the visitors commit fouls to stop them, while Converse was employing a. quick break for the basket, shooting at random. Con-verse took the lead soon after the third period started by caging two fielders, b the Beavers came right back wi a fielder and a free toss to keep ' the running. The visitors co ed again from the field to make 4 17., der: 17.91. foAllowBeedavbeyr anotncr immediately made it 13- 12 for Converse at the gun. Durino, the final quarter, rough tactics by the visitors caused the re-moval of F. Miller from the game on personals. The Beavers snagged a fielder to take the lead 14- 13, but Converse came right back with a two timer to again take the lead, 15- 14. On a perfectly executed block play, McQuiston counted from the floor to give the Kingmen the lead. From this time on it was a possession of the ball game, with the Beavers hold-ing the ball most of the time and suc-ceeding in holding the visitors away from the hoe?. On an out of bounds play a Converse man was loose under the basket and took two shots one unmolested and the other hurried by local , guards, in the last thirty sec-onds of play. They both missed, al-though they lung on the rim for an eternity it ieemed. Then the gun cracked with the Green and White floating high, 11- 15. The preliminary game was a fast one with the loals shading the visit-ors, 27- 17.
