FINE VICTORY FOR
NORTHM|NSTER BOYS
Defeat Georgetown Props in
Warm Game of Bas-
ket Ball.

That the Northmnster basket ball
quint is just Slight shade better than
the Georgetown prep five was proved tor
the second time this season at Ryan
gymnasium last evening, when the church
boys defeated the school club by the
small score of il to 10, in a battle replete
with excitement, roughness and fierce
playing. Both teams played like fiends,
and the little advantage that the victors
had at the end might have been balanced
up if the props were not deprived of the
services of their leader, Capt. Murphy,
who was kept out of the battling by
illness.
The running track of the gymnasium
was lined with spectators, all of whom
seemed to take great delight out of the
scrappy playing of the rival goal-tossers.
The students of both the prep school and
University of Georgetown cheered Justify
TO the end for the embryo collegfans,
but 1t was all In vain.
During the first four minutes Of play
neither side scored. Then FURNACE Of
the Northminsters hooked two-po!nter,
which was Immediately offset by Heis-
kells pretty goal from a bunch. Two
minutes later the same pair repeated.
again even. In the next Ave minutes
French made a goal from difficult an
gle, FURNACE shot a single-pointer on
Waldron's foul and Plumber added an
other ringer from the field, all OF which
put the church team five points In the
lead. Trumbull made a goal from team
work, which cut this advantage down to
three. but with only. five minutes left
to play French bagged another two
pointer and regained the handicap. The
play was now fast and the excitement
which prevailed among the spectators was
greatly increased by the phenomenal work
of Trumbull and Heiskell, each of whom
sent the sphere through the net before
intermission was called, with the result
that the half ended with the score stand
ing Northminsters, II: Georgetown Props,
10.
The Northminsters substituted Gillie for
French I'm the second session while the
Hilltoppers retained the same lineup. As
soon as the whistle blew both teams
started playing fIercely, and as a result
considerable roughness crept in. Fur
IMAGES successful toss on Trumbull q
foul at the opening Of the half and his
goal at the mid-point OF the session were
the only scores made during this part of
the game. The props missed a couple of
chances for scores from fouls, and OH
couple of occasions hard luck could have
been blamed for unsuccessful shoots from
the floor But the Northminsters also
seemed to be enemies of the horseshoe,
for they too seemed unable to locate the
ring with the accuracy that characterized
their work in the first session. Some ex-
celIent team work and dribbling made up
for the lack Of scoring as far as the on
lockers were concerned, while the I'M
ceasing hard battling of the men kept
up the excitement.
For the victors, Bischof put up the best
all-around game, while FURNACE deserves
second mention. Waldrons guarding and
Heiskells goal shooting were the features
of the preps' work. Both teams played
better than they did at their previous
and because of the rivalry that
now exists between them, their third
game. to be played on a neutral floor,
should be a corker
