test-The Scores.

Much interest was manifested in the
basket ball game last night, which was
the last of the series among the teams Of
the city, and the largest crowd of the
season turned out to see the sport. While
it was conceded by ali that the veteran
Y. NJ. c.. a. team would have little trouble
in defeating Butler, who were their cp-
ponents last night, the latter team put up
a game that was a most agreeable sur
prise to their supporters. aud their defeat
by a score Of 81 to Is was in no way els
creditable.
BY far the fercest game of the year was
that between the two high schools, and the
enthusiasm displayed by the partisans cf
both sides was something to be rcmem-
bered. The game decided the standing OF
the TWO teams and is the last official
chance to decide the supremacy. The
Manual Training team, confident from the
former victory over their rivals, started in
TO win, and their fast playing seemed an
omen of success. 20 a considerable extent
they played all around their smaller OPP
ponents during the first half, and when
time was called for this half the score WIS
Is to 10 III their favor. In the second half.
however, the Shortridge players took d
brace and every man made a determined
effort to get in the game. The Training
School boys continued TO lead for a short
time, but inc asgressivencss of their op-
pOnentS constantly increased until the score
became tied, IL tn IL.
at this iuncture the Shortr!dgc boys
played like fends, and ii began to look as
though there was "a football game in prog
Tess. until, when time was called, the score
stood % to 20 in favor of the Shortridge
High School. Then pandemonium broke
loose with a vengeance and the boys has
tened out into the corridor, where a fight
Immediately took place for possession
OF a wooden AK which one OF the victorious
students carried. The result-several bloody
noses, smashed hats and a broken chan
delier-seemed perfectly satisfactory TO all
concerned, while the sounds of the old-time
high school song,
80 YOU must be a member of the L. II. 5.
Or you won't go TO heaven when you die"
~resounded through the halls as the victors
marched away.
This game demonstrated the fact that
Cunning is one of the brightest stars on
the Shortridge team, with Clark a close
second. These two, by the way, are the
smallest players on any of the teams.
Kaylor, of the Training School team, also
did magnificent work. his goal throwing
from fouls and putting the ball in play
from center being especially good.
The standing OF the teams as decided
