WELL PLAYED GAME
WON BY THE M0RT0NS
Fast Contest, in Which Umpires Used
Their Authority.

One OF the best played games OF the
District Basketball League series was
played last night in the Guards Center
Market gymnasium and resulted in a
victory for the Morton Cadets over the
I. NJ. c. A, by the score OF 10 to 70.
The game was fast and whatever
roughness crept In was the result OF the
gingery nature OF the play. Whenever
there was any semblance OF slugginR or
Intentional roughness. Umpires Handi-
Doe and Aangan stopped the game and
warned the players and on second Of
tense put the guilty ones out Of the
game, and among those relieved OF duty
were the captains OF the two teams.
The Mortons are playing a strong
game this season and their splendid
showing is a credit TO the players and
their manager
At the end OF the first half the score
stood 5 TO 1 IN favor Of the Mortons and
then the Association boys woke up. and
quickly cut down the lead and saved
themselves from a bad defeat Rice toss
ed seven free goals OF offense and led
his team for field goals, making three
from floor plays.
Between the twenty minute halves.
Fred Hoover and James Dwyer both
