Pace Was Too Fast to Use it
Throughout.

In a game polka-dotted with flashes
of brilliant basketball and bits of
football tactics, the Y. NJ. G. a. Reps
tucked the second scalp of rhe season
under their belt, the Columbus Reps
being the losers. The final score was
a. to 2S.
a fair sized crowd gathered to wit
ness the contest and was pleased with
what it saw Both teams started the
game with rush, Columbus doing
the first scoring act. jenkins, a.
guard, slammed the ball against the
railing of the balcony near the bas-
ket and. as. luck would have it. the
ball bounced through the ring.
The scoring efforts OF the visitors
were of the near variety. quite IA
few times II looked like "A little tough
luck yet they made up for this un-
luclSiness with the number OF "horse
shoe" baskets they pitched.
The score Of the locals might have
been doubled had the team been able
TO keep up the pace they started. 1t
was lack of wind on their part that
enabled the Columbus FIVE TO land no
small number of baskets.
A new man appeared in the local
Reps lineup last night and he di1
wonders in the way of shooting bas-
kets. King is his name and he acted
as captain of the high school team
last year Because of his eagle eye
his fellow players fed him the ball
and he was equal to the occasion
missing but few open shots. OF the
"A points scored by rhe locals King
pitched 16 OF, them from the field and
four OF them from the foul line
| Hume was next to King In basket
shooting but the captains bright acts
We're darkened quite a bit by allow
! ing his opponent, Davis, to slip away
! from him and find the basket six times
for a total of 10 points.
i Both teams fought hard during the
y first part OF the first half but slowed
| up toward the end OF the period.
i Kings work outshadowed all others
1 in this half although each local Rep
contributed at least one basket ana
i Center Hume Gagged two. The half
ended 21 to IL with Marion in the
lead,
Davis was the bright light OF the
second half He added eight points
to the visitors score by clever basket
shooting. All the local players eX-
cept Fisher took a hand in their
scoring Mickey slipped away from
his man and dropped three through
the ring.
Signals worked better for the Y,
NJ. c. A. men last night. In the midst
of the second half, Hume got the bat
off and with perfect passing landed
two baskets in succession before the
visitors knew what had happened.
But the fast pace was too much for
the Rep players and they would be
forced to lay off while after a stren-
uous effort.
The game was roughly played and
/ couple ofe fstic encounters were
! nipped in the bud by Referees Curtis.
