The alumni basket ball team SUI
fered defeat at the hands of the high
school team in their game at the
armory last evening. The final score
read AZ to 81 in favor of the high
school. The game opened with ev-
erybody on the floor working. The
first whistle was blown on account
Of foul by Brown of the alumni.
In very short time Glover manag-
ed to lodge the ball in the basket
amid great enthusiasm on the part
Of the alumni rooters. This was the
first score made. After being put In
play, however, Dodge threw goal
and for some time the battle waged
even. Another foul by the high
school gave the alumni the large side
Of the score. Waterman, who was
playing In the center position for
the "old boys" had enough and re-
tired in favor of Kearns. Some time
after that Brown, from the too
strenuous exercises, took to the side
lines. He was replaced by Currie.
During this half Glover and France
did all the scoring for the alumni.
For the high school the points were
gained by Dodge and Talcott-
When the signal for the second
division blew, the men lined up with
the alumni looking slightly fatigued.
Owing to their poor training some OF
them were too tired to continue af-
ter the first half. From the sound
OF the whistle the game In the last
half was fast. Brown started in this
half but near the latter part retir-
ed again in favor Of Waterman, who
with some rest was ready for more
work. In the second half the high
school team members were also
changed. Mckee and Dodge were re-
tired and Daniels and House played
In their places. This was done TO
give the subs" some practice. Both
Of these men did some very good
work. In the second half Glover did
good work in throwing baskets, In
this half Ash also got busy and when
the last gong sounded had three
baskets to his credit. Kearns, who
remained in the larger part OF the
session, showed that he had former
ly played the game. Currie also did

displayed some knowledge of the
game and is credited with the first
foul. Waterman while he lasted did
some nice work. He, procured one

who played in the first half. started
in rather lamely., However, after he
loosened up he did some stunts that
were worthy OF more than, passing
comment. He also obtained one
goal. For the high school Talcott
did some very good work. Talcott
is one of the most consistent players
in the high school and in the abb
sence of Berggren and France, he
helps wonderfully.
Dodge also did some nice work.
All the men on the high school team
played in their best form during the
early part of the game, but the alum
nj soon became winded and then the
younger men had their way. Their
team work also confused the old
stars.
Although but small crowd wit
messed the game it was we'll worth
more liberal patronage and all
present got the worth OF their
money. The game was for the rails
ing of the debt of the athletic asso-
citation but the door receipts were
not more than the expense Of the
game. The lineup follows:
