game IN Utah Saturday night. at the
Armory hall on Pierpont street. to the
fast Henager's Business college team.

an interesting one and at times very fast.
but both teams slowed down et times
and resorted to rough work The crowd
was not large. but all enjoyed the spu-ts
OF real basketball which came every once
In while.
The Hamilton players did not start the
game we'll. The local boys took the lead
and at no time were they headed. the
first half ending 1a TO In the Henagers'
favor The visitors were clever In their
foliing but when they were discovered
they set up a howl and complained c.
poor judgment During the first half the
playing was rough. and the Hamlltons
lost out at their own game. They missed
several sure baskets and their team work
was broken up time and time again b.
the fast local men,
Puzzled Visitors.
The Henager players were st-cng and
had some system 20 their PLAYING. com
pletely puzzling the champions Hoffman
OuIluIlp5u MS man at CEllr.. upon
which Carey. the renowned Jumper re
sorted TO trick work but still failed. The
champions bad the drthblins style down
pat; but most every time committed
foul by handling the ball with both hands.
Howe OF the Y. NJ. G A. refereed the
first half and called only Ave fouls on
the visitors. Still the Hamilton team
complained and Howe withdrew in favor
OF Richardson. who made the champions
play ball. calling all their fouls. This.

game all the time and made some clever
very hard shots. which caused the cham
pions TO lose heart. Hammond was clean
AT tossing the ball through the oval -trpm

style of ball. similar TO that of the cham
pion Portage team, but as the local laos
