The Seville schools being closed the past week on account of diph theria, manager Ritter of the local high school basketbal teams, was once more forced to secure emer gency games to satisfy the girls and boys of RHS. With the telephone as a means of communication games were finally scheduled at the Wadsworth town ship Centralized school on the con dition that the Wadsworth buoys be allowed two outside players to take the places of high school players who had recently quit school.

Thus, in on game filled to the bru with roughness the wearers of the red and white came out at the small end of the 27 to 37 score.
