BY far the fastest game of basketball!
seen here, this season. was between the
Gardner and University of Maine teams,
and it had been awaited with good deal
of interest. From the time Referee Tay-
Tor blew his whistle for the game to
begin it was a case of the best man get
the ball. AS the game progressed Referee
Taylor showed his knowledge of the game
and his impartialty to the teams by call
ing fouls when needed In the first half
t,., ,la.lT - NJ
diner three times. OF these eight Gartli-
ner scored only one, while Huntington
threw two and scored as many points for
L. of NJ. These two points We're the only
ores the visitors were able to score Gar
diner played its usual strong, steady
game and threw three goals and scored
one point on a foul making the score I
to in the home teams favor. The fine
points of basketball were brought out in
this game as never before. and for the
first 10 minutes of the game. when neither
team scored except on fouls, the playing
was of the fastest order. Rafter played
his man in a way that won for him two
baskets while his man got none. Cam
pagna threw one basket on Haley of u
of NJ. MatheaS and Straffin at center
played fine ball and We're tied for honors.
Campagna was the other home man thai
scored for his team.
The second half of basketball was Il
hot one and was 4 repetition of the fast
work of the first period. l.. of NJ was
iii the game to win and started in by
Owen throwing a basket. Hazard and
