from Second v. VI. c. A. Team.

The Indianapolis Y. NJ. c. A basketball
team demonstrated it's superiority over the
Charlottesville Y. NJ. c. A team at the
local gymnasium last night by winning
with a score OF 30 TO 81 The Crawfords-
vile team was never considered formid-
able opponent at any stage OF the game,
although the visiting team showed EVIL
dences occasionally of being able to engage
in some brilliant team work. Through
clever work at times Charlottesville was
able to pile up twenty-one points.
The Indianapolis five started the game
with fast playing, and ran up score or y
to in their favor before the visitors really
got into the game. indianapolis played
aggressively until the score reached such
proportions it was thought to be safe
and for few minutes relaxed their work.
allowing Charlottesville TO get into the
game. When Crawfordsville began scoring,
the field goals came rapidly for time and
added interest to the contest. In the early
part Of the first half the spectators amused
themselves repeating the calls given by
the captain Of the visiting team. The
49," etc, sounded like the signals at a
football game, and there were other things
iron sport. Charlottesville resorted to
rough tatics from the first, but found a
strong opponent even in this style of play,
and in nearly all the scrimmages the In
dianapolis players came out unscratched.
When Charlottesville appeared on the
court, Meyers, a six-foot-four-inch man
lowered so much above the rest of the
players that the crowd trembled with fear
for the outcome of the battle But sub
sequent events proved that Meyers was
used more as an intimidating quantity than
for any brilliant work that he did. He was
replaced in the second half by Grim.

There was no change in the line up of the
Indianapolis team throughout the game.
