WON BY ANNA BOYS
LIVELY CONTEST AT BASKET
BALL AT ARMoRY LAST
NIGHT.
Visitors Too Heavy for Cairo Players
Won Both Games-Good
Playing Done on
Both Sides.

Completely out-matched in size and
strength but hardly in playing. C. H.
s. went down in defeat in basketball
last night at the Armory, at the hands
| of Union Academy of Anna. Two
games were played, the first between
the second team of the Academy and
a team composed OF Sophomore boys
| of the local High school, and the sec
ond between the first team of the
Academy and the first team of C. f.
S. The first game ended 20 to Is in
the visitors favor. and the second 20
to a.
The local lads were out-classed in
the first place because their opponents
were college men, players who have
passed the high school stage AMI who
have entered the class of those VINO
have reached their majority. Second
ly, the opponents being of this class
(most of them, at least,D they were
naturally much heavier and stronger
Promptly at SIS Referee Ent called
the first two teams who were to play
first, the second team of the Academy
and the Sophomores and the game
was on. And right then the difference
between the visitors and G.. II. S. was
noted. The local team to play first
was hardly in it" to use the slang
phrase. 1t was clearly men VS.. boys,
and it seemed hardly fair, but the
home boys decided to make the best
of it and in good playing they were
| in many instances ahead OF their OPP
ponents. This was verified by the
fact that during the first two halves
the Sophs threw 10 fouls. And that
is great many, when one considers
weight and strength The first half
lasting Is minutes, was not marked
by brilliant plays on either side, but
the hard work the Egypt boys put
| in showed up when the end of the
| half was announced and the score
stood tied, 9 to g.
In the second half the two teams
played a bit faster ball, although An
ma fouled a good many times. The
final score was % to IS.
| Nothing but praise should go to-
the Sophomore boys 1t was their
| first game of the season, with only
about two weeks practice and they
| did fine. If the teams had been even
| ly matched there would have been lit
tie chance for their opponents. Metz
ger was the star individual star of
the tie am, making II out of the IS
scores.
The second game was called at 8
O'Clock and started off with snappy
playing on the part of both teams,
| 1t looked as though the C.. Fl. S. team
would keep pace with their heavier
opponents. but this hope was soon dis
PEELED and the half ended IS to s in
Annals favor
After a rest of 20 minutes the two
teams were at it again, the local team
making the first several scores. The
score came very near being ted by
| the locals at about the middle Of the
half, but the visitors began teadily
advancing their score and after a hard
| fight C. Fl. S. gave up the half with
the score against them 2S 10 a.
In this game also the visitors over
came the Egypt" team mostly by
strength and weight, but they also did
some good playing. kimmel was their
stellar performer.
| Encouragement on the part of the
&c. H. S. team probably kept them
from putting up better fight, for it
must be admitted that they were not
in the same class as their opponents
Their team work was good, but they
didn't take proper advantage of the
many goals they had chance to
throw. Still they put up game
fight Mcnamara, who caHtained the
G. II. s. team, was also at the head Of
the best work. The teams lined up
as follows:
Anna list Team--pird and Leib, for
wards; Harold, center; Kimmel and
Noble, guards.
