dolph-Macon defeated William and
Mary tonight in the basketball game
which decided the championship
series for the year, both teams real
lied this, and went into the game to
fight their best to the finish.
The game had long been waited for,
and the anxiety to win caused both
sides to foul frequently, but the wish
tors went beyond bounds and changed
and held continually when their OPP
ponents took the lead, which they
kept throughout the game, excepting
that william and Mary scored first
on a foul. This game tied the cham
pionship series. Randolph Macon and
william and Mary each having lost
one game to each other, there re-
mains but one game yet ip the series
to be played. II will be played to-
morrow afternoon between William

started with rush, soon a foul on
the Yellow Jackets gave the visitors
one point for a starter. Brown fol-
lowed this at once with a field goal.

Trinity Defeats
North Carolina in
Basketball Game

Especial to The Richmond Vfrginian.)
DURHAM, N c., Feb. 2S.---In a
blaze of glory, Trinity tonight wound
up her basketball season by defeat
ing North Carolina A. and M. coli
1ege by the overwhelming score of 81
to IA, and thereby lays claim to tho
basketball championship of the two
Carolinas. Trinity has defeated every
team in North and South Carolina
that she has played, and while she
has not played Carolina, she has over
whelmed Wake Forest and A. and NJ.
both of which have triumphed over
the State university. She also has de-
feated Wofford in South Carolina, and
bested Wake Forest, who beat the
University of South Carolina on her
home floor.
The game tonight was rough one
in many respects, though, like most
of the other games here Trinity was
at no time in danger of losing the
contest. The Aggies seemed to be
unable to connect but their passing
was very fine. Trinity's men played
their usual fast game, and exhibited
some really high class basketball.
Brinn did not get into the game until
near the close of the last half. but
took a shot at the goal under the
most unfayorabIe circumstances, and
Gagged the ball in what was perhaps
the most spectacular effort seen on
the local floor this season. Siler was
the particular star OF the game, the
big fellow shooting seven goals and
throwing four out of nine chances at
fouls. Cherry also played one OF his
exhibitions of basketball, and shot
four field goals. Terry did perhaps
the best work tor the v srotisihotu,
the best work for the visitors, though
he shot only two goals. Sumner play
ed good game, and made good at six
out of ten chances at fouls.
The lineup was as follows:

Interesting Points.
1.-THE interest everybody takes in
motor cars, whether he ever expects
TO own one himself or not" said ]. II.
Simmons yesterday, land the time he
will give to learning and talking about
them. Is a very curious thing.
You know how everyone looks a
big motor car over as 1t goes by in
the street Well it's safe TO say that
not half the people on the street ride
of them expect ever to own one. But
it Is just as safe 10 say that nearly all
of them can tell you about the diff
ferent makes, can prove the superior
!ty OF the six-cylinder engine, know
how the gears work, that the dry
plate clutch lis best, and talk learned
ly about carburetters timers and DIFF
ferentials A good many OF them will
recognize the make of q car as far
as they can see IL, by the shape of the
radiator or some little popularity OF
construction that you would think
only the expert motortst would be
familiar with.
Motor car enthusiasts are a great
deal more nungerous than owners.
