II might be taken for granted that the
large margin by which the Seattle team

one-stced and unintsrserang. Far from
Il. Although oIhpaayed the Portland boys
did moi give tsp for sn instant. IL any
thing they played more asgresstveiy and
faster In the second than in the firss half
They were OF on goal throwing, however,
and lost many opportunities for possible

along ard Temple put the ball into the
basket
Russell did not play ~ good game as
usual although me did some clever work
when he got the ball In a serimmage under
the basket Hills work at center was
clsan-cut and did much 10 nsutraiize the
brilliant play OF Miller. captain of the
Portland team. who - q host Ia himself.
Barker and Noldenour put UP a wonder
fully strong guard game for the Y. NJ c.
A. They blocked throws better than even
the most enthusiastic T. ~ c. A. SUD-
