CULVER-WHITING GAME.
BY defeating Wolf Lake at Notre
Dame in the morning Whiting earned
the right to battle Culver in the even
ing for the championship of northern
Indiana. Following a good rest in the
afternoon the Whiting team appeared
on the gym floor looking fit and fresh
for battle. Fifteen minutes of practice
work was held and during that period
the rah-rahs cheered at Writings clev-
erness and crack basket shooting. Gull
yer then came on and the game was
called at o'clock.
Whiting. full of pep and ginger, took
Culver by storm in the first period. and
although a little loose In team work
they pranced and logged around the
dirt surface like so many fleet footed
animals, handling themselves and their
opponents in a classy manner. Whit
ing scored the first five points by free
| throws and followed these by dropping
two more in the network from difficult
angles. Culver gained two points by
fouls and came back with two more
baskets in short order The nrst half
ended III in Writings favor, but Gull
yer came back strong in the second half
and In the last eight minutes of play
they held a momentary lead of one
point. BY a free throw Girard again
tied the score and by fighting as they
never did before Whiting scored two
| more sensational baskets, giving them
the lead again by four points Culver
made another free throw, thus leaving
! them behind three marks. During the
last few minutes of play excitement
reigned supreme. Twice Culver came
near making some counters but those
classy Whiting guards, Greenwald and
Benson, hung too close to the Culver
! forwards to give them free shot
| Both teams fought like mad until the
whistle blew, which gave Whiting the
laurels by a score of Is to II.

fast little forward, shone head and
