MOBILE TAKES
CAME FROM
P. {. 6.
By the Score of SO to 8-A
Small Crowd Witnessed
the Contest.

The Classical School basketball
team met its first defeat at the hands
of an outside team last night when
the team from the University Military
Institute of Mobile practically had a
walk-over the score being So to s.
The game started at $50 o'clock
with a small crowd present. In the
first minute of play the Mobile boys
easily showed their superiority in
quick passing and a free and easy
manner in throwing their opponents
from an effective guard.
The game was fast and rough from
the start In the beginning of the
game the local boys made an effort to
play clean ball, but soon became
somewhat discouraged at the evident
lack of official vigilance and the play
afterwards was very rough when CON-
pared with those of local teams. The
visitors are accustomed to play oy
college rules, which are not as strict
as they should be ard this may ac-
count for their tactics. The referee,
who was a Mobile man, and who plays
according to college rules, was very
slack on fouls.
The visitors took the lead at the
start and at the end of the first half
the score stood 81 to 6 in their favor
Phillips was the only man of the To-
cal to succeed in scoring goal, he
making two field goals and three
from free throws
For the visitors Hays made four
| field goals and three from free tries
in the first half, with one field and
three from free throws in the secondt
while Mcintosh came close second
with fiNe field goals for the entire
game. sFris5man uas the only man tc
score for tho locals in the second
half. scoring a field goal
The Classicels have the best ma
terial in the city for team, but they
always play clean ball and cannot ex-
lpect to become accustomed to the
rougher methods of play in one night
In clean game of ball with strict
officials the outcome of another game
with the visitors would probably be
different
The two teams lined up as follows:
Mobile Position Pensacola
| Hays Center Avery
Mcintosh Left Forward Friedman
