THIS WEEKS BASKET BALL.
CATHOLIC UNION AND Y. M. G. A. WIN
NERs WEDNESDAY EVENING.

Printers Go Down Before the Wearers OF the
Green and White Who Show Strength
Wheel Club Team Holds the Association
Quintet Down to Eleven Points While 1t
Makes Seven.
The talent were disappointed in pre-
dieting the results of Wednesday even
ing's basket ball games. Nearly ev,-
erybody expected to see the crack
Y. M. G. A. team roll up big score
against the Wheel club quintet, while
many thought the Catholic Union
would be easy meat for the Hildreth
printers. Such was not the case, how
ever, for the club men held the asso,,
citation players down to ii points ana
scored seven themselves, and the IN
ionites put it all over the printers,
finally winning by score of 1913. AS
already stated these results were sur
prising yet encouraging to those VINO
want to see close league race.
The Union printers game was the
first on the schedule, and it opened
speedily with the wearers of the green
and white having the better OF the
passing The printers seemed unapie
to get their team work started ana u
was only a few minutes before Dun
leavy Gagged the ball for his side. This
was followed soon afterward by neat
goal from Clune's hands and third
BY Guiheen. The printers had com
paratively few chances to shoot dur,
ing this half and did not make good
use of their opportunities. f.. Gun.
diff Gagged the ball just before the half
closed but the score did not count as
the referees whistle had blown prevl-
ously. The second half started with
rush and the printers were able to
score twice in the first few minutes OF
play. The next basket was made by
l.. Cundiff who threw the ball while
sitting on the floor. He was heartily
applauded. Here the printers got
together and played faster game,
but they were unable to overcome the
lead The summary

The game between the Y. Nj. G. A.
and the Wheel club was close enough
to be exciting throughout the Clubmen
were only one in the lead. At the start
the Y. NJ c. A. players attempted to
run away from their opponents but TINS
game did not work as it did last week
with the printers. Every player on the
Wheel club team made it his business
to stick to his man and prevent him
from getting shot. How far this
method was successful is shown by the
small score which the association team
was able to run up. The first half end
ed with the Y. NJ. G. A. two points
ahead, March, Howe and Tufts each
having scored one basket for their side.
C. Stolte made the only goal from the
floor for the Wheel club in the first
half, but Cooley made the most of two
free throws. Both teams resorted to
rougher tactics in the second half
and fouls were called frequently, IN
fact too frequently to suit the spec
tators who like to see hard game
without infringement upon the rules.
The Y NJ. G. A. players seemed to be
the worst offenders in spite of the fact
that they have played the game long
enough to know better. In this half
Tufts and March each scored from the
floor and Howe on a foul while Allen
made all the points for his side scor-
ing once from the floor and again from
a foul
A notable feature of the game was
Tasker's good work at guard. In Fer
ritter he had one of the speediest play
ers in the league to follow but he pre-
vented him from scoring single point,
a decidedly unusual occurrence. The
game demonstrated that the Y. Nj. Z.
A. team will have to improve steadily
in order not to lose games during the
series. 1t is true that Ellis is much
better man than March who played in
his place, but Ellis was being saved for
the game tonight with the University
of Vermont. The summary.
