M. H. S. Boys Defeated at Windber
On Friday March 10, the Meyers-
dale High School quintet, accompani-
ed by Coach Reich and Prof. Wea-
ver, ltraveled to Windber to play a
return engagement with the High
School team of that city. On the 25th
of February our boys defeated the
Windber High School by the score of
28—23, but were forced to defeat
at Windber to the tune of 50—14.
The M. H. S. team tried to stop the
scoring, but the floor was so slippery
that they could not make any head-
way. Our boys bought some “dope”
for their shoes, but it did not help,
while the Windber boys ‘had shoes
special for their floor which held
firm. After the game the Windber
‘team held a dance for our boys.
