Reps 1928. .,,
A large and enthusiastic crowd wit
messed the games. About fifty Mans
field rooters accompanied their fav-
critics to Marion and were well pleas
ed with what they saw here.
The second contest was the fastest
and most exciting exhibition Of basket
bali that has been played on the Y.
IA. c. A. floor this season. Both teams
were in fine form but the superior
playing Of the Mansfield crowd brought
victory. Spectators agreed that the
visiting team is the best that has APP
peared here for some time.
The first half was a shade the bet
ter part of the struggle. Both teams
fC ug1t hard ana their passing and
basket shooting delighted the crowd
So perfect was the playing that a mis-
take ON the part of any player was
quite obvious and. when such a thing
occurred a howl Of disappoval went
up from the crowd. But few oppor-
tunities TO score were overlooked.
Mansfield began the scoring and
pitched. two baskets before the Mar
ion team struck its stride.f Mickey
whose work on the offense and the
defense. was highly commendable, To-
Gated the ring, for the first basket and
Hume, followed with three but this
lead was soon cut down. Remy. the
visitors center and their star point
collector, left his man and scored five
baskets before the half was over The
halle ended IS to "A In Manshcld's
The visitors opened the second half
with a renewed determination 10 win
and from the very start played the
Marion men off their feet. They kept
the locals on the defense the greater
part of the time and shot baskets al
most at Will Hume managed to land
two but went to sleep at other times
and allowed Remy his opponent TO
duplicate his performance OF the first
period. Twenty points was Remy's
contribution to the total score. The
half ended "a to .. with the Mansfield
crowd happy.
zMickley held Palmer to two baskets
and these came in the second half after
the game had been hopelessly lost.
The scrappy little guard came to the
fIont with four in the first but was
unable 10 locate the ring in the second
Fosters guard held him baslxctless.
Accurate, basket shooting character
ized the playing OF the callers. 1t
seemed that they had practised on the
gym floor and We're thoroughly ac-
