HIGH SCHOOLS
TAKE THE CAME
Second of the Dual Series OF
Boys Basketball Is Won
by Them.

Yesterday. at the Normal school, the
team representing the High school de-
feated the Normals by a score of 81
to 9. Neither side could lay claim TO
any spectacular playing, but though
many fouls were made on both Sides
occasional bits of good team and in
dividual plays enIivened the contest.
A large crowd viewed the game
which was the second of the inter
scholastic series of boys games. They
lined the wall on Hackfeld street.
crowded up to the outside lines OF the
court, and even climbed up on the
ed the playing. A considerable portion
OF the spectators were young ladies,
and these made the air echo with their
screams. And it didn't take much to
make them yell--a pretty play, a fight
for the ball, a failure on the part of
their men to win a basket, the sue
cess of their opponents in gaining the
coveted goal, in fact almost anything
that happened on the field, even to the
waltzing of the teacher of mathema-
tics. who paraded the lines. asking ev-
erybody to keep within three feet OF
the tape.
Lack of experience told against the
Normals. NormaIs throws were al
most always too hard, the ball on
nearly every occasion bounding over
the tapes.
Normals made the first foul. Dwight
of the Highs was given a chance for
basket on free throw, a chance which
he made good. Shortly after, another
foul was called on Normals, Gilliland
tried and missed. but Marcallino
caught the ball before it touched the
ground and succeeded in landing it.
The same thing happened on various
occasions, the two playing what looked
to be a prearranged game. Whenever
Gilliland threw for basket on a penalty
and missed, Marcallino caught the ball
and put it in, thereby making two
points in place of one to his sides
credit If it was his try, Gilliland did
the same thing for him.
In the first half, the ball was sell
dom in the Normals' territory, and
whenever it did manage to circulate in
Normals hands, the Highs took good
care that It was seldom shot for the
Normals' basket. That they succeeded
is shown by the fact that in this half,
only two points We're made by the
Normals as against the fifteen placed
to the credit of the Highs.
Toomey as guard for the Normals
was good. He did some effective work
throughout the game and that the
score did not pile up any more than
It did, is largely due to his quick work.
In the second half, with Rice as
guard in place of Soares, the Normal
score rose seven points. Rice was no.
where as good as he usually is and let
several fine chances slip by him.
In this half the Normal center was
a shining light. He is improving rap
idly.
King of the Highs was the candy.
Against him, Linsey had but little
chance to do much. King continually
pestered him and kept him on the go.
When t me was called both sides
were willing to quit and Normals' dap
per uniforms had lcst their chic look.
The next game will be played on the
High school grounds on Friday at four
O'Clock. The High school grounds are
much better adapted for the convent
ence of spectators, and a larger crowd
can be accommodated than at the Nor
NAL school ground.
The lineup of both teams in yester-
days game follows:
High Schoo1-Center, r. Gill and;
guards, o. Soares, Rice, Daniel King;
forwards. Dwight and Marcallino.
Normal-Center, Kamaloi; guards.
