THANkSGIvINGAT The Y. M.C.A,

The Y. NJ c. A. was busy place on
Thanksgiving day as there was some
thing interesting going on all the time.
All the classes except the business men
had share IN the fun.
The morning was given over TO the
two Junior classes who had some drills
and basket ball tournament. In the
game between the Junior AS and BIS
the former won by score of Az.
The last thing in the morning was a
game of indoor base ball between the
Fleet Foots and the Little Stars, which
was won by the latter, 90
In the afternoon the Seniors and In
termediates had the floor. The first
part of the time was taken up with ap-
paratus work on the horse and parallel
bars. Then a couple of basket ball
games were prayed. In the first game
crack Junior team tied an Inter-
mediate team in fast and exciting
game. Pipers' Intermediates then
played a game with scrub" Senior
team. The final score, 3i8, in favor Of
the Intermediates, shows what kind of
game was played. After this game
the Intermediates and Seniors gave an
exhibition n the swimming pools of
fancy swimming, that was greatly en-
joyed by all the speotators.
III the evening the train for Yellow
stone park pulled out of the Y III III c. A..
While waiting for tne train the pas
sengers witnessed fast game of basket
ball between the Y Nj. G. A. first and
second teams. The game was easily
won, 59-12, by the first team, which is a
"whirlwind" this year. Every player
on the team is fast and accurate in
passing the ball, and as far as shooting
baskets is concerned they are hard to
beat The second team put up a
game fight, but playing against big
ger and more experienced players they
did as we'll as could have been expect
ed. Schneider and Ringle starred for
the first team in shooting baskets, get
ting nine and eight respectively. john
son was the point winner for the Sec
onds. He was very accurate in his free
throws, only missing two out of nine
trials.
