CLARE GIVES REED
CITY REAL BATTLE
HEREJRI. NIGHT
Osceola Defeated by 34-15
Score. Second Team Lose.
Boys Play at Shepherd
Tonight
The Clare High basketball tean*,
Tose to supreme heights last Friday
night to defeat their ancient rival to
the tune of 34-15. It was a sweet revenge for the boys of Clare when
they trotted off the floor to the cheers
of victory of the large crowd. It waa
sweet revenge for the local fans, too,
when they saw their boys more than
double the score of the Reed City
rivals. Coach Brown has a ball team
and don't forget it. The students are
behind the team urging them on-—
and now it Is hoped the fans will turn
out to make the boys play even better
and help wipe out that deficit in the
athletic treasury-
Wednesday evening also gave the
Clare team the top score, when they
were met here by tho St. Louis clasf-
B team. Glen "Doc" Sanford and
John Watson credited the team with,
the most points. Many fino passes
were mal-3 by all players. Score was
14-39.
The school band .and the colorful
pompoms were added attractions to
cheer the boys on to victory.
The second team found it more
difiicult to make baskets aud lost
their game by a 7 to 27 score. Time
and space prevents giving these plays
in detail.
Reed City Game
The game started out in great fashion with (lie Clare boys showing they
meant to win. The score at the
quarter was 9 to 4 for Clare and at
half time 11 to S. In this second
quarter tbe Reod City boys outscored
the local lads four points to two but
that was the only time.
At the start of the second half it
looked like Reed City had came tc
life when they scored a field goal almost from the tip-off. In the act oil
making the basket a foul was committed and the free-throw made so
the count was tied. But this only
made the boys wake up and they
went on to score 14 points while Reed
City could only make two more. In
the fourth quarter the boys did equally as well in scoring ten more points
to Reed's two.
The crowd saw the same team that
had startsd the two previous out-of-
town games except that "Doc" Sanford was ai a guard position and
Watson at the forward post. These
two had traded positions and in this
game the exchange really worked. The
shift was made by Coach Brown sc

HOLDS IMPORTANT
MEET MONDAY EVE.
Bay City Initiatory   Team
Confers Work in Accord*.
ance   With Legion
Ritual
Monday evening Walter H. Larman Post No. 128, American Legion
held an important regular meeting
in the new Community Building witb,
a large crowd in attendance. The
main purpose of the meeting was the
initiation of three new members into
the Post in accordance with thB Legion ritual with the ceremony of initiation being- conducted by the Bay
City initiatory team. A large proportion of the local membership was on
hand, including members from Harrison, Rosebush and Lake, and In addition twenty-nine visitors from
neighboring Posts.
This is the first time that the Ceremony of initiation has been conducted
in Clare or anywhere in this part of
Michigan; no other Post in this district has ever conducted au Initiation,
witli the exception of Bay City which
has recently organized a team and
has conducted a few of the Ceremonies,
Until recently this service was
optional and it was not customary to
use it. However, the National Legion Organisation recently made it
mandatory for all Posts to initiates
according to the ritual all new members, that is all World" War Veterans
jo mine- tha American Legion for the
first time.
This year three World War Veterans, none of wbom had ever been
members r.t the American Legion be-r
fore, desired to unite with tho organization and paid their dues to the.
local Post for 1935 and it was for:
their benefit that the Ceremony was;
held. Due to the fact that several
neighboring Posts are going to conduct a similiar service with the near
future it occasioned a great deal of
interest in Clare and neighboring
towns.
After the meeting had been duly-
opened tho Clare officers vacated;
their stations and the members ofe
the Bay City Initiatory team assumed'
the same, as follows:
Commander, Edward J. Donoghue.
Acting Past Commander, Leslie Pi
Kefgen.
First Vice Commander, William
Mayhew.

CLARE HIGH POMPOM SALE ANNOUNCED A WG SUCCESS
New Basket Ball Uniforms
Now Assured. Players
Feel Grateful
The Clare High students are to be
congratulated upon the success of the
pom-pom sale. The team was badljf
in need of new suits and with the
Athletic Association so much in debt
it seemed wise not to incur further
obligations. But Coach Brown came
to the front with tlie suggestion that
has made the suits an actuality. He
suggested the sale of pom-poms and
with the-able assistance of Mr. Bates
and loyal student followers, has raised the necessary money. Net receipts
of $52.00 was raised during the three
days of the sale and practically all
students were waving these pompoms about the school showing their
loyalty to the team. What a riot of
color and fun these pom-poms made
can only be imagined. The stands-
Wednesday night were full of pompoms and when the Band played "On
Clare High School" there was never
a more Inspiring sight than those students singing their "Fight Song".
The suits selected are Kelly green*
throughout with white numerals on
front and back and a white web belt,
on the pants. You can't imagine how
they'll look but you can see them in
their next home game January 18th.
So "On Clare High School, On to
Victory," for that is the theme song
these days with tbe team making the
best early season showing in several
years. And t he team gives many
thanks to their loyal student followers and loyal fans and to Coach.
Brown and Mr. Bates.
