several hundred persons that thronsed
the. galleries.
The main event Of the evening. the
basket ball game Of the Y. NJ. C.. A. and
Carroli institute. was holly contested
affair through both periods, the former
coming out at the long end in the scoring
Dy superior teamwork, and the ability
to take advantage Of their opponents
mistakes. Incidentally Capt. Croghan Of
the Carroll Institute attempted to
punch" Timekeeper Snow, during the
second half fer what he described talk
ing. Officials interfered and interrunt-
ed hostilities. The incident apparentlv
aroused Croghan and one or two Of his
teammates to such a condition OF mind
that they forgot they were indulein~ in
basket ball game. Before the apha sia
condition disappeared the winners had
cHnched the contest with run of three
straight goals. from the field.
Inc start of the big game was fast
and furious. each team playing the other
10 StandstiH Tor about ten minutes. until
Alien OF the I. NJ. c. A. broke the ice by
shooting neat goal. under the noses of
the opposing players. This was followed
Dy foul by Carroll and a safety for
the 7. NJ. c. A. A moment or so later
Croghan OF Carroll Institute scored a
goal, and the y. Me. A. added another
point from free toss on a second foul
by Carroll.
Too Fast for CAROLS.
At this juncture the. Y. NJ. C. A. men
got the jump of the Carroll players. and
until the close of the first half played
them OF their feet The shooting was
miserable, however. but one goal being
added out of five excellent chances. The
half ended with the Carroll men doing
their utmost to protect their goal against
the irresistible rushing and dribbling of
their opponents.
In the second half the Carroll players
performed creditably and ran up five
points, two goals from the field and a
score on free tossA until the set to
between Croghan and the scorer. Sew
eral Of the Carroll men let their resent
ment gain the better of their playing. and
the Y. NJ. C. A.. took full advantage of
it. Three goals were scored in quick
succession before the, belligerents set
tied down to work again. From that
time on the quints. played hard, con-
sistent basket ball until the gong sound
ed the end of the period. Carroll scored
two goals from the field and the Y. NJ.
C.. A. six.
Easy for Reserves.
The Y. NJ. c. A. Reserves literally
swamped the Old Dominion quint in the
other basket ball contest. They scored
at will, making sixteen points in the
FIRST half and eight in the second. Old
Dominions TALES came from two free
losses. one in each half. The stars Of
the game were Hughes and Hall of the
Reserves and Gray OF the Old Domfnions
Between the two games the wrestling
bout was pulled off, the pair putting up
a pretty exhibition while it lasted. Moor
man broke number Of good holds in
the first part of the first bout and was
working his man to the mat in secure
scissors grip when time was called. In
the second bout each man gained q hold
and broke one. The pair were evenly
and as a result the time Of the
bouts was too short to, expect either to
gain fall. Maxwell Gilmore, manager
and coach of the Y. M. C.. A. Wrestling
Club. refereed the match.
