BASKET-BA GAMES
Gary Treated to Plenty of
Good Sport Last Night.

The girls and boys basket ball teams
of the Gary high school played last
night to a fair-sized audience, and
while the girls went down to defeat
the boys upheld the laurels OF the
school. The score of the girls game
against the Lewis team of East Chi
cago was IT to 6, in favor OF the latter.
The boys carried away the honors
from the Lyrics of Gary by the score
of 80 to "a.
The first half OF both games proved
listless. but in the second stage of the
contest the fight was hard and bitter.
The Lewis girls were superior to the
Gary girls in both teamwork and bas-
ket throwing. They seemed to be able
to find the basket whenever they had
the slightest chance of throwing it in.
The manner in which they worked the
ball down the field also brought form
considerable comment.
In the first half of the boys game
everything was sided, the Lyrics
not having look-in at any time The
Gary boys alse had a rather hard time
in finding the basket. but they had no
difficulty in getting a lead over their
opponents In the second half things
were different The Lyrics showed a
marked improvement in form and for
some time had the high school boys
guessing. Jackson proved to be one OF
the fastest all-around players on the
floor and If the Lyrics had all been
Jacksons there would have been no
question as to the outcome. Hyman
for the high school made some pretty
goals at difficult angles and played a
good game for the high school.

WHAT OTHERS SAY
ABOUT THAT GAME!

Hammond high school has got a
great reputation since that Crown
Point basketball game. Nearly every
paper that mentioned the result criti-
cized the Hammond team for quitting
after they had started and played half
of the game, and Coach Allee's tactics
were surely ill-advised Here are what
some of the papers say:
There's going to be lively doing s
tonight when these two evenly match
ed teams struggle for supremacy. I'm
like Hammond, these teams are not
cutters, and the game will be hard
fought and the best team will win
Valparaiso Vidette.
Hammond and Crown Point are at
loggerheads. OF course 1t hurts to be
beaten: but think twice. Hammond
If baskets are sometimes too law, play
ers are sometimes too tall. Crown
Point has poor sort of hall, but other
teams have to play in halls they are
not used to.-Hobart Gazette.
Hammond's incompatible basket ball
machine, oiled with that marvellous lu-
bricator Alleeolene, slipped a cog last
Saturday night and showed the public
that they were outclassed in playing
the game as well as in staying quail
ties 1t is true that Crown Point has
small hall but Hammond was fully
aware OF that fact, and when they en-.
tered the hall and saw the height of the
baskets they seemed highly amused a
the prospect. They saw visions Of {
score in which Crown Point would bt
completely showed under, but at the
end of the first half when they dis
covered, much to their surprise, tina
they were being outplayed at every
! turn and the score was 81 to 13 favor
| ing Crown Point, they quit, and re
fused to finish the game. fearing tina
| the score against them would be in
creased in the second half. Grown
Point has suffered defeat at the hand
Of Hammond many times, but we neve
quit because we were being beaten

NO HYLAND-

Frisco Dispatch Denies the
Match Is Arranged.

A dispatch from San Francisco de-
MES the report that Dick Hyland has
been given a match with Battling Nell
son for the lightweight championship.
1t says the match has not been consid-
cred by San Francisco promoters. The
announcement yesterday of such a
match caused some surprise in local
fight circles, as it was not thought
probable that Nelson would agree to
risk his laurels in a fight with so
poor a drawing card as Dick Hyiand.
