Show January, 1945 NEWSETTE THE CENTERVILLE Page Four SPORTS HEN HOT SHOTS NEAR FIRST HALF TITLE GLIMPSES INSIDE THE SAGAMORE CAMP, D. U. P. PIONEER RELIC CABIN, WITH LOIS CLAYTON First half stake hoop honors are almost within grasp of the Hot Shots as we go to press. Still remaining was a game with West Bountiful January 3, and a tiff with Orchard January 10. But the Hot Shots are undefeated in six games and two games in first place. Most of the years contests have carried the same pattern close for a half, followed by a Centerville avalanche in the remaining two quarters. Against the North Ward, however, the Hot Shots were held to the second closest score of the season, The Hot Shot quint took a 2 lead at the first quarter, stretched and held a it to 12-- 4 at half-tim18-- 7 lead at three commanding quarters. The kids from the North outscored our boys in the last canto Shirley Randall led the evenings point harvest with 8, while Sessions and Harlo Randall were next with 4. Hallman, McGhee and Ford divided the losers score. South Bountiful also presented a problem for two quarters, after which the Hot Shots turned the 2 rout. First contest into a 0 and 2 at stanza score was half-timLanky Phil Sessions, the teams bankboard and tip-i- n ace, who went scoreless the first half, opened a personal bombardment of the hoop in the third quarter with 7 points and the second-quartmark was 20-As if he was off to the races the Giraffe rolled up 12 more points barely before the gun to bring his evenings total to 19. This remarkable job was made possible by some smooth ball handling on the part of his teammates who played their best game of the 20-1- 2. 4-- e, 5-- 2. 37-1- 7-- 4-- e. er 4. year. Lawrence Rollins joined the high school squad recently, thus dropping him from the Hot Shots, as high school players are ineligible for Explorer participation. Keith Shipley will play with the squad the remainder of the season. Bountiful Third has pulled out of the league because of a lack of players. Our stake M Men will play as usual this year. As there is a chance the Hot Shots will get to the Salt Lake Interstake tourney next March, they and the M Men are having practice together. Scrimmaging with the older players will help to iron out a few of the Hot Shots rough spots. Because of their fiery spirit and speed, the latter are prone to commit fouls and will need to control this element in event of a tourney. November 13th, Bountiful 2nd forfeited to the Hot Shots the second such victory for the Centerville five. This was the second week in a row that Bountiful 2nd didnt appear, and it is apparent they will also withdraw from the league. Hot Shot scoring leaders: Sessions (40), S.

In it is a veritable gold mine of miscellaneous little articles like the odd little bullet mold found in the hills east of It works on the principle of plyers with a bullet-shape- d hole to pour the melted lead in, and a clamp on the top which smoothes the end. Then just pull them apart and you have the bullet. Probably these bullets were often made while on the hunting trip or in the midst of the battle. And see the cumbersome looking watch which Zacheus Cheney used while a member of the Mormon Battalion. It is more than twice as large as a modern mans four-post- er Another queer and unheard of item these days is the on the nose! holder, which looks more like a large china salt shaker than anything else. Its about four inches high it had to be tall because s of those days were the long and wicked looking with orna- - hat-pi- n hat-pin- Rebecca Cherry Porter made a long, white apron and put a wide strip of this lace on the bottom. Luxuries were few in those days and the women mostly made their own clothes anyway, so in order to have pretty ones they had to make their lace and ruffles. Caroline Cherry Harris, of 47, also made a white apron and put some of the lace on the bottom. Rebecca Cherry Porter evidently liked to knit as there are four tidies made by her. One of the most interesting things in the cupboard is the pair of pio-ne- er Cen-vill- e. heavy tailors shears shown in the picture. John Holland, pioneer of 60 and grandfather of Luther Dalrymple, used them in his tailor shop in England and then brought them to Utah and used them here. Several layers of woolen cloth could be cut at one time, but it must have taken a strong pair of hands to do it. The weight of them is really impossible to describe in pocket watch and is wound by means of a small key attached. Lorenzo Schofield, pioneer of 68, played the old wooden piccolo in many a pioneer orchestra in the county. At one time Joel Parrish was a merchant in Centerville and he used the pair of tiny and delicately balanced scales to weigh gold dust Margerv McIntyre shown holding tailors shears used Holland in England and brought across the plains brought through from California ments on the heads. The knitting needles owned by and given to him in payment for goods. The queer spectacles that Sanford Porter wore are so small the size of a pair (about these days) and have such rims that it was no wonder that they wore this type of glasses way down Margaret Potts Fisher wrere probably used as much as any of the articles in the cupboard. They are the type used for fine knitting and much of the knitted lace we see in the cupboard would have been made by a pair of similar needles.
