styled the “black art,” and
printers were supposed to be i.i
league with Satan. But it was
in the time of Aldus Manutius, in
Venice, thet matters took a ser-
ious turn This.was the famous

who was homeless on the streets
in Venice. The people supposed

Hitchcock Wins and Loses
In a double basket ball game
last Saturday played at Okeene.
Hitchcock broke even, the boys
winning with a score of 22 to 10,
and the girls losing 10 to 12.
The boys playing were Ralph
Shafer and Emmett Wray, for-
wards; Guy May, center; Miles
Dickinson and Herbert Ebert,
guards. Merrida Winn was sub-
stituted for Miles Dickinson and
Fred Irion for Ralph Shafer.
The scoring was as follows:
Wray. 10; Shafer, 8; May, 21;
Ebert, 2
The girls played a good game
but lost. They were ahead until
the last minute of play, when
Okeene threw a field goal and a
free one putting them in the lead.
The girls playing were Bessie
Ix>y and Clara Spaeth, forwards.
Elizabeth Thrasher and Hulda
Ebert, centers; Ruth Morrison
and Blanche Ebert, guards.
Both teems play at Eagle City
next Saturday.
