Y. N. c. A. TEAM DEFEATS
THE UNIVERSITY BOYS
Albuquerque Basket Bait Organization
Beaten by Seven Points at the Dun
can last Night.

The great basket bali game last
night between the teams of the Uni
versity of New Mexico at Albuquerque
and the Y. NJ. c. A. Of this city rc-
suited In n score of % 10 2l In favor
OF the home team. II was one of the
fastest games ever played In the terri
tory and was witnessed by fair sized
crowd.
The locals sarted out 10 win at the
sound OF the referees whistle and kept
ahead OF their opponents by . mar
row margin through tho entire game.
The play was fast and exciting and the
spectators cunld not keep their seats
put ssoosi ,sp and eheerpd until they
were hoarse. Wan Dot add hav insssh
played the star game for the home
team. the former making four goals
from the field during the first half
and the latter made four .,nints from
the field and one point on a foul. For
the visitors Bryan made two points
and Clancy four with two additional
points on free throws. The score at
the end Of the first half was eight TO
thirteen In favor OF Las Vegas.
The second half was even more *,
citing than the first. The visitors en-
deavored to take brace and win and
the local team wished to pile up a
good safe number of points to their
credit. During this half Hawkinson
made three field throws and one point
on foul. Littler made two points. Op
per made one Of the most sensational
plays of the game scoring two points
by shooting the bali In the basket
almost the entire length Of the hall,
and Van Dot made two field goals
Tascher of the varsity made a field
and free throw. Clancy made two field
throws and Bryan scored six points
from the field. The last half was very
even, the score being 13 to Is In IA
vor OF the Las Vegas team.
The line-ups were:
University OF New Tascher.

tier. T; Gehring. e; Sharp and 0p-
per, e: Van Got, c,
There was not person present so
far as could be learned who was not
pleased with the game. and 1t is con
fidently predicted that IL another
game is ever played In this city that
the opera house will not hold the peo-
pie.
The preliminary game between the
juniors and seniors furnished much en-
tertainment, the seniors winning by
large margin. The high school girls,
who sold candy during the games,
cleared a neat sum of money.
A return game will probably be play
ed In Albuquerque week from next
Saturday and in case the Duke city
team is strengthened and the locals
are defeated, the tie will be played OF
later in Las Vegas.
