THE HIGH loses
BASKETBALL CAME
Military Boys the Winners;
Vikings Win From the
Norman Team.

Two speedy basketball games were
played at the ''Y'' gym Saturday night,
a single point deciding both games.
E. P. H. S. lost to the E. P. NJ I. by
a 25 to &c score, and the Vikings won
in the preliminary game with 80 to
% score from the Normans.
The HE. P. NJ I. game was
shaving close one, and full Of sur
prises. The first score was made by
Chenoweth, Of the soldiers, on a free
throw. Then sag" Shea and VIII
Taylor trimmed the iron with a ball
apiece, followed by baskets from Ly-
man and Ross, until the score at the
first quarter stood II to in the
high schools lead, the soldiers only
scores being made by "Cheny" on free
throws. In the second quarter the
institute advanced its score to II
points. The only points made by the

held the Hi down to but one basket,
while caging two balls and a free
throw themselves.
With a tie Of 16 to 16 Chenoweth
Gagged three balls, which placed the
soldiers in advance, % to IS, by the
close Of the third quarter. The Hi
went into the game with a tearing
rush in the final fourth and soon had
the score % to p, but Cheny got away
from his guard twice at the very tag
end Of the game and trimmed the iron
each time with an accurately fired
The game was one Of the toughest
of this season, the players being
knocked around over the floor as
though a football game was in pro-
gress Taylor was knocked out of
the game for a few minutes by being
thrown on his head. The team work
of the both sides was good, and the
guarding Of Dutch" and Fats" added
real paprika to the game. Lyman was
easily the HI star in the basket
making line, and ChenoWeth the star
basket sharpshOoter of the soldiers.
VIkIng-NOrman Game.
The Viking-Norman game was a
practice game, fortunately for the Nor
mans. Nevertheless il was the first
time this season that the Normans
the first score OF the game, but Red
Stevenson followed closely with a bas-
ket. The score seesaWed for a while
and then the NOrmans seemed to settle
down to their average gait and ran
the score up to 16 to 10 by the first
half. Johnny LOretz did some dandy
shooting in the second half for the
Vikings, and tied the score. Then Mar
shall, Perkins and Loretz ran the Vik-
ing score up to % to p. Garwood
and Peralta were still on the job for
the NOrmans and rode the ball down
the field a couple Of times apiece but
the timeup gong struck with the score,
Vikings 80, NOrmans %.
Another school Game.
The San Jacintos in the basketball
game OF the Grammar Schools Ath-
letic league at the 'Y7 Saturday af-
ternoon waIIoped the Sunset team with
a IS to 4 trimming. The Sunsets put
up a sturdy defence, but were com
pletely outclassed in size and playing.
Arthur made the only scores on the
Sunset side.
Boy Scouts Play, Too.
One OF the fastest basketball games
played by the younger boys this sea
son was the tussle between the Black
Hawks and the Gray Eagles in the
opening game OF the Boy Scouts
league The game was exceedingly
close from start to finish, and ended
in a tie Of 19 to 19- An additional
three minute period was required to
play off the tie, and in this VIII
Race, of the Eagles, threw the ball
that did the business, giving the game
to the Eagles with a q to 19 score.
The second game was a Walk-sway,
the Painters doing the Centipedes to
a % to 10 score.
