point on throw from the foul line.
Though successive field goals were
thrown by Smith andErtz, of theNavy,
st. Johns again took the lead with u
field goaal and two from the foul line.
Except for its excellent start st.
Johns was never dangerous.
The Navy was faster and had bet
ter team work, and in the second half
clearly outplayed st. Johns. The
latter were quite wild in the final
period, and missed many chances, both
from the court and the foul line. OF
the collegians. Wilson and Melton did
particularly good work, while Nc
Reavy, Smith and Wenzell, of the
Navy, were in specially good form.
