SEASONS FINAL GAME
FELL TO THE QUAKERS
Wittenberg Defeated by a
Score of 20 to ~.
IA HARD FOUGHT CONTEST

In the fastest game of basket ball
that has been played on the floor OF
the Coliseum during the present sea
son, Earlham defeated the swift Wit
tenberg aggregation by the score of
% to % last night. The team was by
far the best that has appeared on the
Earlham floor this year. The victo-
ry fell to Earlham through fast team
play and excellent field goal throw
ing of Mote, the lanky forward, being
in the game from the start and locat-
ing the basket with ease and at all
angles. His playing was the bright
feature of the game, being all over the
floor, and aided his team mates mate
rally in breaking up play after play,
while best of all, he used his head at
all stages of the battle.
EarIham Played Well.
The entire Earlham team played
well, and put up the best article of
basket ball which it has shown this
year. The play during the entire
game was lightning fast. and had it
rot been marred by the repeated blow
ing of the referees whistle calling the
play to a halt, the game would have
been faultless.
The First Half.
Scoring during the entire half was
scarce. Hotchkiss, who has done
