ARMSTRONG WINS.
Defeats M Street High School in
Fast Basket Ball,

Armstrong Technical lads took the
measure of the NJ Street High basket
ball team In an interesting contest Sat-
urday night by score of 30 to IA. The
Armstrong quintet played a steady game
and won a clean-cut victory. The game
was hard fought, but cleanly played, no
exhibitions of poor sportmanship being
shown. BY replacing Mutt with Webb
NJ Street showed improvement. but too
late to do any good. Richardson alone
was the bright particular star for the
academic school team.
Mabry of Armstrong did not play in
form. but Trice manipulated the sphere
in classy way, negotiating two ringers
that made all sit up and take notice.
He is playing in good form as guard.
The preliminary game went to the
Howard Academy boys. The Crescent
team lost to the Props by a score of -
to 8. Owing to the suspension of Walker
and Ramsey, the Crescent lineup was
not formidable. Henry Lewis put up a
star game for the losers, although hurt
from collision with a post. Dunlop,
Lafayette and Wilson took honors for
clever playing.
