Training School five in the final game of
the season at the Cyclorama. last night, by
a winning score of IS to Is. The game was
captured by Shortridge by superior playing,
the blue and white boys playing all around
the Training School players until the latter
part of the contest.
Every seat in the place was taken, and
the supporters of the two schools made
things merry by their school yells and
songs. Shortridge turned out the most root
ers. and they were more in evidence during
the game, as there was hardly any time
that the s. H. S. five was not safely in the
lead. Toward the latter part of the game.
when M. L. II. S. took brace and scored
few points, the M. T. H. s. rooters could be
heard trying to cheer their team TO victory.
The absence of Jack Shideler, formerly
captain of the NJ. T. H. s. team, was felt.
and with Raffensperger also out of the
game the NJ T. III. S. five was a weak prop
ostion when it entered the game. The de-
Tense of Training School was weak, and
there was practically no offensive work
during the early part of the contest The
white boys were wild, and Bohnstadt was
the only one able to place the ball in the
basket, His throwing from foul was also
good. Training School did not take brace
until toward the close of the second half,
but Shortridge was too far in the lead for
M: T. HI: 8. to come near winning.
La Toilette, Churchill and Pratt played
the best game for Shortridge, and scored
the most points, but the defensive work of
Appel and Gipe prevented Nj. t. II. S. from
running up dangerous score.
GAME IN DETAIL.
The game in detail follows:
Shortridge was not long in getting in the
game, and scored field goal two minutes
after play. Gipe sent the ball down the field
to La Toilette, who put it in the basket.
One minute later. by good team work, the
blue and white succeeded in getting the ball
to their basket and Churchill threw a goal.
The Manual team scored its first point
when Bohnstadt threw the goal on foul
by Churchill. An exceedingly pretty piece
of team work was then executed by Pratt
and La Toilette, who carried the ball the
entire length of the field, and the latter
threw goal. Bohnstadt fouled and La
Toilette threw the goal. after which Pratt
added to the scoring by throwing another
goal on a foul. Good team work put the
ball in Shortridge territory again and Pratt
made another basket. A foul by La Toilette
allowed Bohnstadt to throw goal, and
then Appel committed a similar offense,
which permitted Bohnstadt to add one to
the red and white side
A double foul gave each school one point
more. as Bohnstadt and La Toilette both
took advantage of the free throw. La Fol-
lette and Churchill again distinguished
themselves by taking the ball down the
field, and Churchill threw goal. While the
ball was around the NJ. Il. III. S. basket
Bohnstadt. made a field goal, and soon the
half ended with the score IL to in favor
| of Shortridge.
SECOND HALF.
The second half was series of fouls,
owing to the hard playing on both sides.
NJ. t. II. s. put up a much better argument
| in this half than at the start, and got with
| in hailing distance of the opposing five.
| Bohnstadt fouled and La Toilette threw the
goal. Appel caused the red and white score
to increase by fouling and allowing BONN
stadt to make the goal. A foul by Spohr
| and La Toilette successfully making the
| point put S. H. 3. followers in good spirits.
| Pratt foued and Bohnstadt again threw
| the goal. A little later La Toilette added d
| point to the blue and white score on foul
| by Wheeler. Another foul by Pratt caused
| NJ. T. n. S. to get nearer, when Bohnstadt
| threw the goal. double foul was then
made, and while the partisans took a
breathing spell Bohnstadt made another
point and La Toilette missed his chance. At
| this juncture Diddel was hunt and his
| place was taken by Castor. Appel kept
| Shortridge's end of the score up by throw
| ing goal on a foul by Bohnstadt and a
| little later Bohnstadt did the same on a
| foul by Pratt. Gipe fouled and Bohnstadt
the fiercest in the game. The ball during
| the second half was near the S. II. s..
| basket a greater part of the time, and just
| a short time before call OF time Bohnstadt
made pretty field goal, aided by Ayres
and Wheeler, who helped take the ball
down the field. No more scoring was done
| by either side, and the game ended is to a5
| in favor of S. II. 5.
