The Clintons who showed up well in shoot ing, secured many of the goals tried ! for.
 In the first half the two teams start ed off with a rush, and the 42ranford five scored immediately. The game then became very exciting, the Clin- tons also scoring After good passing and blocking by both teams, for twen- ty minutes, the half ended, with the score IS to 10 in favor of the Battery | A team. -"-
 At the beginning of the second hali Koletsky replaced Alderman at for ward, while the latter acted as um- pire. The second half was very fast but the Clintons were not able to ac. complish much, although they did make a brave effort, although stil unable. to get used to the floor. The second half ended with the score B to 15, the Battery X team winning tho game. The Battery A team worked hard, played a good game, and they won a nice, clean game.

The four men are about the four best in the state and the victory for Collett and Huber although close one, Is a decisive one.
 For some time the match between two of the Tuxedo's best and two of the Republican clubs best was con- sidered but not until two weeks ago were preparations made for it. Jans- wick was expected to roll with Col lett but he was unable to appear at the first series and Huber took his place.
