HIGH SCHOOL FIVE DEFEATE Ed
PARSONS FRESHMEN LAST g..
NIGHT IS TO ~. "4's
GAME WAS ONE SIDED
Only Feature Of the Contest was
Basket Shooting Of Mier and
Stutsman Rough Playing by
Both Squads. '

In a farcical tilt, in which the main
feature was the football tactics used
t by some of the players, the basket
shooters from Principal Hammltt
institution spanked the Freshmen hVe
from Parsons college at Coach Elgen
mann's arena last night. The score
was SIS to IL. The contest was as one
sided as the democratic landslide IN
dear old Massachusetts, several moons
ago. The contest would have resem
| bled a ping pong game if Jakey Mle1
Iof the red and white sweatered gents
and Meyer of the freshies. had not adj
ded pep to the bill bys continually
Fostering each other. AS the game
progressed their tactics became more
pronounced and if the mix had lasted
few minutes longer, the small audi
ence of fans might have witnessed a
lightweight contest as final to the
game.
Contest Was One Sided.
BY displaying their good talents, as
they did in the Grinnell Freshmen
game, as soon as Referee l.. M. B. Nor
rissey blew the whistle, the superiority
of the Ottamwans was Immediately
apparent. A small audience, consis-
ting of students and friends OF the
school witnessed the game. Despite
the good game being played by the
high school team this year, the stu
dents are not showing their loyalty
to the school by patronage. 1t is doubt
full if the game last night paid the ex-
penses. The students present did not
Ntrv to inject ginger in the team by
roofing and the only noise made was
that furnished by the Cpl" roofing club
under the dictatorship of Windsor
Epps.
.. Record Was Established.
A record was established in the
game last night which will probably
not be duplicated on the OttumWa
floor. The Ottumwa players held the
visitors down to two field baskets.
The local players negotiated twenty
four baskets from the field. The flrst
half had not progressed far until the
strength of the locals was shown:
They secured a big lead early and
maintained it throughout the mix. Inc
game was the initial, contest for the
Parsons frcshies and 1t demonstrated
that if they desire to bring honors to
their institution at Fairfield, they
must develop faster team work, learn
To shoot goals and above all things
watch the game closer. Their
amateur work doomed out brightly
throughout the game. and OttumWa's
large score can partially be laid to the
ina,,Atv of the Fairfield players to
cover their men. Zeigler who played
here last week with the Parsons tirst
team was a member of the freshes
AGGREGATION and his work was very
moor considering the showing he made
With the first squad He saved his
team mates from an 1gnomlnlous oe-
feat by throwing eight out OF sixteen
foul goals. Stutsman showed wonder
ful form in the first half throwing
basket after basket from the field and
his clever work gave the locals the big
lead When time was sounded at the
end of the first half the score stood
% to 6. The locals almost doubled
their score in the second chapter while
thew held down their opponents to SIX
more points. Ottumwa scored so often
that the official tabber had difficulty In
marking down the points.
Substitutes Were Used.
Levers of football had their wishes
fill in the game. During the last half
especially both sides used grldlron
tactics. Wormhoudt was banished
from the game for unnecessary roung-
ness and how the work OF other play
ers on both sides escaped the detec-
tion of the enlongated official Is
mystery. Seeing that victory was
tightly in their grasp, Coach Eigen-
mann used substitutes In the second
half.
schafer replaced Lynch in the guard
nosition and during the last ten min
i,tes of play Captain Stutsman was re-
lieved from his official duties and Les
Ter. a husky recruit, who took ms
mace showed that he had basketball
q abilities by NEGOTIATING two field goais.
He replaced Wormhoudt at center, the
latter going to Stntsmans Posltloh'
Tollowine the Punishment of Worm
ho,,dt from the game. Ottumwa only
used four men during the last few
seconds of play and the quartet held
the visitors scoreless.
The basket shooting Of Mier and
Stutsman were the bright spots or the
gan.> although all the other local play
ers showed their abilities In generous
quantities. ~.
