BASKET BALL TOURNAMENT On March 14 and 15 Paris is to have the unique distinction of entertaining-' the first girls' basket ball tournament in Kentucky, The pri' mary motive actuating the efforts of those who have arranged the tourna ment has been to raise the standards of girls athletics. Too long have they been given a secondary place and their games treated as prelimi nary events." "" It is significant that Paris should take the lead in this matter when we consider the splendid record her girls' team has made this year. The regular schedule closed Friday night when the local quintette de feated Lexington High by a score of twenty-four to twenty-twa. And this was 'but an echo from the other games, for the Paris High girls were beaten only once this season, and that was by Maysville on their floor. And what do all of these victories mean? They mean that our own P. H. S. holds the girls' championship for Central Kentucky. Invitations to the tournament have been sent t6 about ten teams and the following 'have accepted: Lexing ton High, Winchester High, Clark County High and Georgetown High. They will assemble Fjriday morning and the games will begin at two o'clock that afternoon. The number of events will depend on how many teams come, but the final contest will take -place Saturday night. Suitable trophies will be awarded the victprs. This will be an xepocn-maKing event in the history of athletics for high school girls and the promotors are confidently expecting the sup port of all the patrons and friends of the school and the sport. .
