good. while the local fve made many
slip-ups, the latters team work being

with the Regulars on the short end.
Walk was easily the best player OF
either side, the lanky center OF the Reg

points Besides this he played a good
defensive game. Miller and Mckay also

eighteen Of his teams forty-one points,
and the latter sixteen. Lawrence had
six goals from the floor and Ike num-
