Copper got ten out of 34.
In the second game Saturday
evening we had a complete re
versal. Copper came back to

wider and more pressing. Was

fouling out. Copper made 17
with no one fouling out. Wasil

CHRISTMAS EVE
INVENTORY
By Fausiine P. Greene
The house is messy, I can’t say
it aint;
The ink’s upset and they’ve
spilled the paint.
Here’s a hammer and there’s a
saw, and
The dog just dragged in the
chicken’s craw.
There’s spruce all over the kit
chen floor,
And somebody cracked the
glass in the door.
There’s tinsel here and tissue
there,
And gifts piled high in Grand
ma’s chair.
I’ve lost my pen and mislaid
the stamps,
Bobby ate the dates and he has
the cramps.
I’m all out of cards and the
stores are closed,
Grandpa just stumbled and
skinned his nose.
Now there’s a package from
Ed’s Aunt Sue—
I’m glad we thought to remem
ber her too.
But that mail order package
never came,
Which means I’m short a gift
for Marne.
The cat’s had kittens on Ricky’s
bed—
Why must the twins fight over
that sled!
And now let’s see, what’s next?
The tree!
I-can’t-think-where-I put that
star!
And I don’t know where the
tree lights are.
Gee! I forgot to send the
preacher his pie
And I tell you I’m tired enough
to die—
It’s snowing again! Well what
do you know!
I love to see tree lights on the
snow.
There goes the telephone—Let
it ring—
It’s carol time, come on, let’s
sing.
