They haven't started making book
yet on the outcome OF the big Central
A. A. o. tournament that's coming off
at the Detroit Y. NJ. c. A. next month
but, when they do it's safe 10 hazard
the guess that the favorite Will be
the quint from Notre Dame that last
night trimmed up the ID. A. {. by a
score OF 81 TO "a.
IL there is a better and more effec-
tive basketball machine in the states
OF Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois.
Wisconsin and Iowa. Detroters are
willing 10 be shown.
The ID. A. c. boys have met them
all They have licked old Yale, Penn,
NJ. A. c.. and bunch OF others, and
it's safe to say that they took the
floor with their strongest aggregation
OF history last evening. Playing in
their own gymnasium they looked well
nigh impregnable. They played good
basketball. too. Jake Mazer was never
better; Miller was host as usual.
Capt McDiarmid, Busch and Shinnick
struggled TO the finish at top clip but
the Notre Dame bunch held them
virtually even till the second half was
10 minutes old and then rained in
string OF field shots that. for sensa-
tional accuracy from big distances
was simply the greatest exhibition
ever seen on a Detroit floor
Vaughn, the visiting center, was
by all odds the best man at his po-
sition ever seen In Detroit and this
takes into account the fact that Hyatt.
of Yale. was probably the best man at
this job ever developed in the eastern
intercollegiate league Maloney was a
corkirg forward and he and Mazer
enjoyed great battle for the foul
shooting honors.. The play was fast
and hard all through but. when the
visitors got the range and learned the
trick Of shooting against the handball
backstop from any point near the cen
ter OF the floor IL was all over.
To do d. A. c. justice, the luck was
not on their side. No less than three
field baskets were lost on account OF
fouls called on Notre Dame Just as
the ID. A. c. shooters let go the ball
or Notre Danes four field baskets,
shot from big distances in the sec
ond half. two struck the electric light
wires away up In the rafters and were
DETECTED into the hoop. Cox was the
victim of collision with the wall
early in the first half and was far from
his usual robust, rushing self thereaf
ter. But all this does not detract in
the least from the great game played
by the collegians.
And, as Jake Mazer remarked after
the game. We'll. fellows. it's over
now and Notre Dame wasn't the team
We wanted most OF all to beat"
The gallery and ground-fioor seats
were we'll filed in spite of the wretch
ed weather and the crowd was impair
tial In It's enthusiasm, entirely won
toward the finish By the wonderful
shooting ability OF the Notre Dame
center and forwards
Tonight the club gymnasium will
see just as hot a game. In all proba-
bility. between the Spaldings and the
fast team of the Young Mems Hebrew
association. This contest will settle
as many arguments as ever ragged over
the merits OF ID. A. G. and Y. NJ. G.. A.
Tomorrow night the scene shifts TO
the Y. NJ c. A., where the state cham.
pions tackle VI. A. c.
