Y M. c. A. NOTES

Two of the hardest fought and most
closely contested games of basketball
was played on the Y. M. G. A. gymnas-
ium floor last night. The contestants
were teams in the Sunday School
league who are fighting for a place
in the first division.
Good basketball was in order dur
ing the games although many fouls
we've called on the men.
The first game called at 1880 was
nip and tuck contest between the
ball tossers of the Christian and Meth
odist Protestant churches. The final
outcome was in doubt until the very
last minute of play when the scorer
announced it as 1923 in favor of the
Ch. istians. Postal played the best
game for the winners while Reeder
was the bright star for the losers reg
lsteiing 81 of the 20 points made.
