and 10 seconds Of play. and this was

Harrington were undoubtedly h star
players for the preachers. Forth se-
cured six free throws out Of six

tried four free throws. but failed to

siingsby. Thayer and Boyce all did
great work, but were unable to throw
their opponents off and secure bas-

much smaller than tho U. N. D. play
