VI. -
feated the Charleston Team 1913.
The basket ball team of the Savannah
NJ C. a. defeated a team of the
CHARLESTON Y. NJ. C. A. last night in Que
of the best played and certainly one OF
the most exciting games ever seen IN
tbe Savannah gymnasium.
So evenly watched were the teams and
s., close the play that at the end of the
,,ro halves the score was a tie, 1918, and
. became necessary to continue the play
until another goal should be scored from
The field This was done for the Savan-
nah team by L. l.. Courvoisier, after
very short time. less than two minutes.
The game throughout was very fast,
b,rh teams being on their mettle. The
individual play of the visitors was better
man that of the Savannah men over
7.5am they, or that is, several of them,
had the advantage in hight and conse-
.,u,ntIy in reach. Even without these adj
,autages however, they would still have
,aved an exceedingly clever and clean
came The fact that they made the score
~ close. and that throughout the entire
same only six fouls were scored against
,lcm. is proof conclusive if this state
ment.
.sUent passing, outclassing the visitors in
this respect, but they showed an inability
to S. ore. especially from foul throws that
Was quite a surprise to their friends
The lineup of the teams was as fol-
lows:
Charleston. Savannah

Undoubtedly the best playing for
Charleston was done by Henery and by
Bavne. Hayne threw the first goal of
the game and it was some time before
savannah managed to get one; then
,ourvoisier scored, and a little later
scored again, making it to 2 in favor Of
savannah Each side then scored alter
uatelv until the end of the half when the
record showed the game to 6 in favor Of
tbe locals. In this half Charleston made
Cour attempts to score from the foul line,
and Savannah made three, but each with
out success.
In the second half Hayne again started
the fun by scoring from the field, wiping
out Savannah's margain, and then quick
Nv followed by scoring twice from the
toni line. Henery also scored, but not
before Savannah had managed to get
few points. In fact, the whole game was
pio and tuck. In the last three minutes
of the play the score was 1872 in favor
of Savannah until just before the whistle
that announced time up" when Hayne
threw another foul and tied the score.
The men rested no longer than was nee
essary for the referee to explain to the
spectators that the tie would be played
off, and then went at the ball again with
vim and dash that showed each was
determined to win if possible. The ball
went near Charleston's goal, and the Wis
iors made a gallant struggle to get it
i'm. and had all but succeeded when it
was carried across the hall and goaled
by Courvoisier. The score was: Goals
from field, Couvoisier, A; Hayne, 8; Hen
cry = Hunt, /; Righton, l. Goals from
foul line, Hayne, 3; Courvosier, l. CoVr-
voisier carried off the honors for his
