sult have added a couple of very de
sirable scalps to their string.
They wont to Rome Friday and
played the Darlington School on their
home grounds, and the Darlingtons
couldn’t do a thing with Hunt and
Knowles. The best proof of this
statement is the score, which was 20
to 2 in our .favor.
Then the Berry School team came
hero Saturday, and with McElveen
and Knowlus as our battery we won
7 to 0 —which was Homo-victory over
