Maroons Again Victorious.

As predicted by Siftings last week, the
Maroon basket ball boys had no difficulty
in defeating the crack Georgetown team,
the erstwhile state champions, at the
Trocadero last Saturday night And it

by the School of Mines the week before,
neither side showing the speed or team
work that was expected. But the Ma
rooms were there with the goods as usual,
and the word champions cut no ice
sith them. They simply went after the
ball from the sourd of the bell to blow OF
the whistle, and when the visitors sought
to rough 1t, they were there also, and
when the final curtain was rung down,
tile Maroons had the scalp safely tucked
away in their belt with score of is to I6.
A large crowd witnessed the game and gave
the victors an ovation at the finish. The
Maroons have decided to disband. seeing
no foes that they deem worthy of their
steel.
