I, team will meet them today. The Hazlehurst team came, saw, but did not conquer. The 8.-P. I. team led the score all the way through, except for a few minutes right at the start, when the Hazlehurst tejyn shot a field goal after Pinholster for 8.-P. I. had shot a foul. It was a close game all the way through, as well as a clean one. Mr. Allen Cutts of the Hazlehurst' High faculty did splendid refeering. The final score was f> tos in favor of 8.-P. I. Every player for 8.- P. I. played a good game. The goal shooting of Burch and Pin holster and the guarding of Ben Alexander deserve special men-! tion. In the game at Vidalia Monday! the 8.-P.
