The game was probably the slowest
game seen in the Guard gymnasium this
season. but despite this fact it was In
terestng throughout. there being many
good plays made BY both teams, the
Mckinley outfit using better team work
than their opponents.
The game was played under two sets

not score any more points in this session
than they did IN the previous half. their
team work and passing were better They
