COLORED BOYS PLAY
FAST BASKET BALL
Three Games Pulled Off With
N Street High, Business
and Garrisons Victors.

Three basket ball games, Saturday
night. brimful of classy playing and
three extra halves of exhibition playing
kept an audience of over 300 spectators
thrilled throughout the evening Howard
varsity team furnished the most perfect
sample of skill and teamwork. but, con-
sidering age and experience, the teams
of NJ Street, Armstrong, Howard Acad-
envy, Commercial High, Jones and Gar
rison lightweight grade school teams are
not far behind. For individual honors of
the evening Gilmore, Oliver r. Jones. E.
Mabry. T. Taylor, W. Smith, Green,
Hughes. Holland, Dandridge, Walker,
Tatum, r. Green, Maynard, Hart and
Lewis have the call on others in their
different classes. With regard to the
presence of many p. g. A. L. workers,
Messrs. Washington, Nixon and Hender-
son placed the strictest Interpretation on
the rules, and as result all of the games
We're fast, clean, and hard played.
NJ Street High School team had little
difficulty in defeating the Hiawatha Ath-
lettc Club five. The final score was n
to II. The game was fast, and both teams
were equally skillful, but lack of stamina
played havoc with the club quint. Mabry
or the Hiawathas was all over the floor.
and shot with accuracy from the field and
foul line for the largest number of points
gained 10y any Individual.
The entire M street team did we'll
Rector missed several nice chances
Green was good in forward, and shot one
OF the prettiest goals seen I'm the hall.
Holland, as usual, had the goods; RAN
dali gave evidence of coming star and
Melted six points, although q little lack
ing in endurance, but Cotton" Hughes
OF M street showed the greatest reversal
of form and played a faultless. heady
game as guard, although not I'm the best
n nah fy,it, rin d
next to Mabry, did the best work for
his team. Clean. consistent work mark
ed his playing, with not a foul scored
against him. Lewis was fouled three
opponent at the jump, and thereby show
ed ivory tendency In so evident a man.
ner. Moody cannot pay basket ball as
formerly. His teammates have gone way
two Years. J. Jones plays clearly and
well.
Business High boys repeated. with Tech
as the victim, the score being 8 to after
a session Of two fierce halves. Tech led
for the greater part of the game. but
Tatum and Walker got in couple of
shots and put the game on ice. Neither
team has forwards who are quick, ac-
curate shots. due to lack of practice
around an indoor court. Techs team
is entirely of green material, but with
the opening Of the new gymnasium
Armstrong and Commercials teams will
be as good as the best cambridge and
T. Taylor were the stars of the contest
with Tatum. Walker. Savoy and Smith
close up. Smith fouled much, but played
well. and was I'm the game all the way.
Burwell improves, but is still little
crude.
Garrison School Won from the Jones
lightweight team. by the score of Z to ).
in the fastest game that has marked this
class OF contests in the p. S. \. L.
series. The Jones boys suffered some
bvy Of hniv, lrx1,< 10, IL,
rison boys, but the playing of the Gar
rison Riddles was good enough to win
Coach Holland has been giving consid-
cradle attention to Garrison and undOubt-
eddy relishes the victory Of his charges.
Jones' boys could stand little more
weight and still be lightweights. Three
of the squad could add fifteen pounds
more each and Yet be under ninety-five
pounds; undoubtedly this places Jones at
a handicap with other schools. One of
OF the best in the game, and now weighs
only seventy-six pounds, but Is as good
as any OF the heavier boys.
Howard varsity had easy innings with
the Academy five and st. Mary's five
in exhibition halves, while the Props
ran rings around the St. Mary's team in
a later session. Summaries:
