Boys Team Displays Rare Form a
First Half, but Are Unable TO
stand the Pace.

Following an annual stunt that has al
most taken the form OF a custom, the
Y. VI. c. A. boys department basketball
quint sent a scare into the camp of the
fast Memo five IN the association gym
naslum last evening. when It was only
defeated in the last few minutes OF play
OF q fast game by the score OF 3 20 ..
The game was closely contested through
out. and the result was always in doubt.
At the end of the first half the score
standing I6 to 9 IN favor OF the Kids
indicated a clean victory for the latter
team. The sensational aIl-round playing
Of Morris al right back for the boys de-
partment team was the feature OF the
half. Besides tossing four difficult goals
from various angles. he must be credited
with having played q great defensive
game. His fast playing delighted the
hearts Of a large crowd OF spectators,
who TO the man rooted hard for the
youngsters.
However. IN the second half matters
were decidedly reversed. The Nem0s
played all around their opponents. who
seemed 20 tire under the strain OF their
fast work OF the first session During the
course OF the half they scored fourteen
points on seven goals. several Of the
sensational order. On the other hand, the
Kids were only able to locate the bas-
ket FOR a total of four more points, in
spite Of the fact that they played an ex-
tremely creditable game Hoppe and
Walk were the particular stars OF the half
Last evenings game marked the last ap-
pearance OF the fast Memo team. which
has made record that has rarely been
eqnaled by basketball team In this city.
Out Of twenty games played to date. the
team IS credited with nineteen wins. The
only game OF the season which was de-
cided in favor OF an opposing team was
the one played early in the season with
the West Branch team OF Baltimore.
Since this game the Nemos have proved
themselves the superior team by defeating
the Baltimoreans in two successive games
by overwhelming scores.
