Greatly handicapped Dv the absence
Of Walter Young from the lineup, the
local Y. NJ. c. A. five was humbled by
the high quintet last evening at the
school gymnasium by the score of 81
TO % The result was surprise to
many. as the association team swamp
ed the high five earlier in the season
and it was generally thought that they
would again turn the trick on the
school team. Their team work was
sadly lacking and they missed basket
after basket when they had clear shots.
On the other hand, the high boys play
ed splendidly from the start and de-
served to win, although the "Y" team
would undoubtedly have given them a
much harder battle had their play been

! BEHNAMANN'S WORK BRILLIANT.
Captain Behnamann, at forward for
the high school, played his usual bril-
| liant game, especially in the second
period, when he threw six baskets. In
ali he registered eight field baskets
and one foul throw which Melted II of
the points scored by the school team.
| Tremann also played well and held his
| opponent to lone field basket, while
| he slipped over five field goals and
three foul throws himself. A field
! basket by Hinkley in the first period
and five foul throws by Reeves in the
| second session completed the high
schools total of 81 points. Swanson
was the one bright spot on the asso-
citation team. making four field baskets
and a foul throw. while Mcintyre and
Dean each got one.
