The Butte inter mountain., 1902-03-08

Fast playing great tossing and-sad
to relate-hard fighting on the part OF
the rooters, marked the contest be-
tween the basket ball teams of the Butte
Business college and the High school
last night. The fast playing took place
In the auditorium The hard fighting was
done In a vacant lot back of the Paul
Clark home after the game and ended
Just before the patrol wagon reached the
scene on u hurry call.
1t was a great game and the girls were
playing every second from start to fin
ish. The victory went 10 the Business
College team, but only after the hardest
kind OF work by Edna Payne and Flor
epce Hutsenpillar who led in brilliant
plays for the college team.
AT the end of the first half the score
stood il to in favor of the college, the
climb in the figures being made through
sensational toss by Miss Markle of the
college Just as time was called.
Miss Bray, Miss Proebstel and Miss
HlckoX made star plays for the school
team. Miss Hickox and Miss Payne
Toughed 1t considerably In their oposing
position and made plays which would
have been credit to male athletes.
As a result of this rivalry, in the sec
ond half, Miss Hickox went down under
Miss Payne and was knocked senseless.
The game was called until she recovered
consciousness and she went back to her
position amid cheers.
1t was the livelest kind of play ing in I,
the second half and the Business College |
girls won through faster team work and |
individual tricks which were too much |
for the crack players of the High School.
The score went to 20 to 13 in favor of the
college team at the end of the second
half
/ All through the game the partisans of
the teams kept UP a constant fire of
cheers and remarks which latter were
not relshed by the referee and umpires,
and resulted in threats to forfeit the
game IL not discontinued.
After the decision some of the rooters
got entangled In arguments and went
out to a vacant lot where a ring was
formed and two champions put forward
TO battle for the opposing schools. The
fight was called Off just before the pa
troll wagon got there so no arrests were
made.
