The basket ball team of the Savan-
nah Y. M. c. A. avenged its recent
defeat at the hands of the Charleston
Association team by administering to
that organization last night a drubbing
even worse than they themselves got
on their visit to Charleston. The score
was 81 to in favor of the local men
at the end of the first half, and As to
% at the end of the game.
Altogether it was as fast and clever
a game as has ever been played in the
local associations hall. The visitors,
of course, were somewhat handicapped
by their unfamiliarity with the hall,
but even overlooking this fact, the work
of the Savannah men was the better.
The team work of the locals was fine
The boys were on their mettle, and
from the very first time the ball was
tossed up until the game was called
they played to win,
The visitors, also, have an exception
ally strong team. The men had the adj
vantage over the locals in that they
are heavier and taller, the latter a
quality that cannot be overestimated
but they couldn't locate the goals very
well when they got the chance to
throw, and these chances, owing to the
activity of their opponents, were not
often accorded.
J. P. Thomas, captain of the team
and one of the forwards, did splendid
work in making goals from fouls, in
this part of the play making a
much better record than did any of the
local men. 1t was by these throws that
the visitors scored the greater number
of their points during the first half,
4, for they managed to get only one
goal from the field. This was made
by Hebery.
The local men on their part began
piling up points from the beginning. In
less than a minute of play after the
game was started, w. H. Doty made a
goal, and a minute later w. T. Doty
also scored. In fact, so far as the max
ing of goals is concerned these two
men carried off the honors of the game,
for of the total score w. T. Doty made
goals or 16 points, and w. H. Doty
the same number, each scoring
4 goals in the first half and in the
second. Hunt made one goal in the
first half and Courvoisier and >Righton
one each in the second.
For Charleston 7. Marshall carried
off the honors, making three goals, or
points, in the second half, Henery
made one goal inn the first half and
Silcox, who took Buist's place in the
second half, also made one goal The
other points of the total score, Z were
made by Thomas on throws from
fouls.
The features of the game besides the
fine team work of the locals. were a
long-distance score made by Hunt, a
fine play by T. Marshall who, missing
the first throw for goal, slapped the
ball into the basket, and the goal of
Courvoisier's. which was made by
clever ducking, while Henery practi-
cally stood directly over him.
The Savannahians, who have a
wholesome regard for the prowess of
the Carolinians after the game in
Charleston last month, are more than
pleased with the result of the game.
The Charleston men took their defeat
in most sportsmanlike way, and only
ask for another chance at the visitors.
This will be given them in Charleston
next month, when the championship
viii be settled, for each team thus
far has won one game and lost one.
