Immediately after the finish of the
contest the reds OF, the Y. M. G. A.
league defeated team from Chicago
Commons at basket ball by the largest
score ever made in the Kenosha gym
nasiun1, 81 to Is. It was simply a
slaughter from start to finish, and the
Chicago boys could not solve the trick
plays and team work of the victorious
Reds, and the points rolled up at the
rate of one every ten seconds in the
last 20 minutes of the:game.
Kent was the conspicuous player in
the game, and his record Of 81 goals
from field, besides IA free throws,
making total of SO points scored by
one man, will surely remain un-
beaten for some time. Hoag was an
other star with IL goals to his credit,
while Smith, the tall center, negoti-
ated 6 also. The two Red guards,
Tully and Binninger, are...entitled to
much of the credit for the enormous
score of this game, since they allowed
their opponents to score only Il goal
from field, the other Chicago points
being made by long throws from
center.
The final game of the evening was
the match between the High School
FIVE and the Chicago Commons first
team, which turned out to be farce,
pure and simple. The first half was a
good contest and the teams we're so
evenly matched that neither could
take much of lead, but as the sec
ond half started the Chicago players
gave an exhibition of rough play
which has not been equa1led in Keno
sha, .and their refefee aroused the ire
of the audience by his rank decisions.
After5the game he acknowledged that
his ignorance of the rules was the
cause Of his rulings, but their effect
made a difference of many points
against Kenosha and they half heart
eddy finished the game with the score
SO to AZ, although it had stood 81 to %
before the Chicago referee got in his
work.
This game finished the season for
the High school five, and although
not as successful as the College team
has been, they should be proud of the
work the team did with the small
amount of practice taken. The boys
will now prepare for their dual indoor
meet against the College Of Commerce
and7wil1 then commence outdoor work
at the Y. M. G. A. field, Which has
beenlscraped and rolled in fine shape
for spriug athletics.
