after a near-foOtball method Of playing
the game.
The visitors took the lead at the start,
Pippin making the first field goal from
clever dr.bble. Capt. Arras followed
for the Kendall Greeners: then both
teams played fast and furiously, the first
half going to the Baltimore players by
n to Il.
The second half was thriller. both
quintets playing determinedly for the
lead, and as a result the scorers lost
track OF the number of penalties inflicted
by the officials.
Both teams made the same number of
points in this hslf-that is. twenty points
each, but the four-point lead gained by
the Loyola five in the opening period won
them the game
GaHaudet showed surprising eccen-
tricity in passing, and a number OF
tries for the baskets went wide. The
visitors keen eyes in measuring the
distances for baskets gave them many
a goal. Both teams showed lack of
team work due to the recent vacation.
For Loyola, Capt. Cook. the veteran
center, and Left Guard Pippin starred.
The most sensational shoot of the
game was made by Capt. Arras, for
Gallaudet from the center of the floor.
