Record Unbroken.


Company DIS record of victories Satur-
day evening and the largest attendance
of the season saw the fast Boston team
defeated by the score OF 33 to 20. Both
teams had hard luck in caging the ball.
but when a goal was actually needed
some one was in the right spot at the
right time and did what was required.
Company D started the basket throwing
by Beck caging the ball after about five
minutes of playing. Keith for B. U.
quickly threw the second basket tying
the score. Both teams then threw goals
in quick succession, Smith caging the
ball on a long shot that was much ap-
plauded, after which Wright threw two
baskets and the period closed with the
score 10 to 6 in favor of Company D. In
the second period Buckley had an ener-
getic streak and threw three difficult
baskets, which, aided by baskets by
Beck, Heath and Wright made Co. DIS
total score %. and 10 points tor B. U.
Carr replaced Smith in the second period.
i he last period opened up with hard,
fast, basket ball, both teams putting up
as fast game as has been seen tor some
time on the local floor. Play after play
brought the excited spectators to their
feet and their loud cheering caused some
to cover their ears. During this period
the enthusiasm ran highest and the play.
ers played their best. Again Wright
shot up the floor and Gagged the ball three

the basket out OF bunch. He also threw
basket on free try. Merritt and Gil
lon contributed two goals each for B. u,
and Tucker one. Keith caused some
excitement by throwing the ball into
Company DIS goal by mistake. Wallace,
| a new player for Company D, played
during the third period and made fa-
vorable impression. The team work and
passing OF Company D was the best this
season and it is easy to see that the team
is improving under the coaching of Mr..
best game for B. U. while it would be
hard work to tell who really did play the
best game for Company D.
