" TERRACE BEAT VANARSDOL

Fast Game Played Here on Saturday
Night—Hicks Lost to Tillicums —

Terrace All Stars baskeethall team
took a victory from the combined Van-
arsdol and Copper City teum on Sat-
urday night, the score being 37 to 21.

The game got away to a fast and a
rough start and a number of penalties
were handed out by the referee, Orval
Kenney, and Billy Nelson. Perey
Kennedy of Vanarsdol was put out oi
the game and Perey Gladstone tox,
his place. The local group worked th
ball under for nearly every shot, mu‘
ing points that count. Clarence ‘Ma-
chael und Keney Kerr as gtards got
the rebounds and fed the forwards
with accurante passes until at halt
time the score stood 18 to 9 In the
second half Vanarsdel put Chirke :.
centre and this seemed to be ai gar.
move wnd they got a guddly number
counts, When the pressure got n lit-
tle too strong for the local team Fred
Thomas opened up and netted four
tallies, with Harry Lyons following
with three more, placing a safe mar-
vin to the credit of Terrace. Lloyd
Johnston at left forward did some
nice floor work and mile u lot of o}-
enlngs for his tenm besides collecting
a palr of baskets. While the score
was well in favor of Terrace it was on-
ly so'as a result of the boys being on
their toes from start to finish, and
they wound up with a healthy regard
for the visitors. Following the gnme
a dance was given and over a hundred
guests. were present. A return game
will be played in the nenr future, an
it is expected to be full of life.

The sharp-shooting Tillicums score,
enough baskets to defeat the Hicks
the ‘preliminary gnme by a good mar-
gin. It was an off night for the Hicks
but the girls fonght hard to stem the
short snappy passing attacks of the
opposing forwards. |The sure shots of
Bessie Moore put the game on ice in
the first half. Harry Lyons handled
the whistle while Dune, Kerr was at
the gong. -

project in which the fruition can only
be expected after a number. of years.

who are comparatively youthful, but
whe 2 mun of over 70 sets ont to hew

undertake such work one cannot con-
elude but that his spirit is young in
spite of his apparent years,

Sich na man was Charles William
Parker who was laid to rest the other
day on an eminence nerr Terrace. Mr
Parker” was nearly 89 years of age
when he passed away, having been
born in Truro, ‘Cornwall, on April 8,
1844, As a youth he followed the sen,
but his pioneering spirit sought a dif-
ferent channel of expression and he
soon left the ocean for mechanical ol-
jectives. As a youth he was an expert
swimmer, und during one season won
a large number of prizes, und with the
funds thus gathered he secured the
training he desired.

He early venlized that his work was
to be not merely routine but of an in-
yentive fature. When in his early
20°s he moved to the Whited States

His next move, this time on aecount

seeking outdoor occupation, he dredg-
ed the waters fer minute forms of life:
these"he monnted on microscopic slides

tured on microseopy in that city. Dur
ing this period he was connected with
the curator of the Exeter musenm and
with many of the lending scientists of
the time.

it was while he lived in Exeter that
he married lizabeth Drake. and two
danghters were born by this union,
one predecensing him, and one naw liv -
