filled the gymnasium al the ID. A. c.
abruptly terminated as two basketball
teams took the floor and the whistle
OF the referee announced the opening
OF the game which brought together
the Franklin Athletic club and the st.
Johns Maroons. Eight athletic young
men began running little circles about
the floor; two stood tense at the cen
ter. The referee tossed the ball In
the air. The Franklin center batted It
10 one OF his teammates, there was a
lightning pass 10 another Franklinite

swshed through the hoop. And then
