The Muncie team played rings around Nc
Gilvray's Indians last night and won by
score of TO 4. The locals were just out
classed. There can be no other explanation
for the defeat and the victory was fully de-
served by FarrelIs five. Hart and Higgins
played magnificent polo and kept up rata
tat against Bannorf's shin pads which kept
the Indian cage guardian jumping TO stop.
Bannon did not play in his usual form and
let several easy ones slip by him. Indian
apolis started in the game with the same
lineup was used at the start of the sea-
son. Allie Coggshall was back in his old
position at center and played an excellent
game until the middle of the second period,
when he was struck on the jaw by line
drive from the club of Half Back Tommy
Holderness, of the Muncie five. Coggshall
dropped to the floor as though shot, and it
was feared for a time that ne was seriously
injured He was assisted from the floor by
the other players and his injuries. which
consisted in the loss of three teeth and
broken jaw, were dressed by a physician
who was called Walter Murtaugh was re-
leased before the game by Manager Harry
Cohen, but after the injury to Coggshall
Murtaugh generously agreed to remain with
lnS lHuldHdpOlS team uLlll NOsSSudh
broken jaw was in such shape that he could
return to the game.
''Wid Charley" Farrell, the captain of the
Muncie five, let his sweet disposition get
the better of him several times and he
called Higgins, De Witt and Hart time after
time when there was no apparent cause for
such action
Tarrant and De Witt were both in the
game for Muncie at different times during
the contest. The only change in the Indian
apolis lineup was when Murtaugh took
Coggshalls place at center.
McGilvray's men were kept continually on
the defensive in every period. In the first
of five for Cusick, and this does not reflect
on Half Back Way, as he played a very
good game. Higgins, Hart and Farrell each
took a turn at scoring in the first period.
Higgins rang the first fare in 1:20. while
Bannon was away from the cage. Hart fol-
lowed in 10:11. taking the pass from Hig-
gins. Captain Farrell hung the final tally
in the first period in 1853 Hart registered
two for Muncie in slightly over three min
utes of play in the second period. Captain
McGilvray then hung two for Indianapolis,
the first during scrimmage in front of the
Muncie camp and the second on a pass from
Pierce. Captain Farrell was also in evil
dence for the final goal in this period, scor-
ing in thirty-five seconds a short drive.
Higgins scored the first goal in the third
period in 3:49, taking the pass from Hart.
Bobby then scored in fifty-five seconds on
hard angle drive. Captain McGilvray
then Gagged two for indianapolis in :16 and
3:19. Hart Gagged the final tally in 4:43, TAX
ing the pass from Higgins after the latter
had carried it through the Indian defense.
