De RUSSY TAKES
GAME FROM
SHAFTER
Palama Wins from Y. N. |. C.
Good Basketball on Pa
lama Floor


the season were played last night on
the Palama floor. The two soldier
teams. De Russy and Shafter, mixed
first. and the game was won by De
Russy with a score OF 30k7. The
Palamas came on next with the Y. NJ.
L. c.. and put one over on them to
the tune of 24-14.
From the score that De Russy ran
no AGAINST shafter II would not seem
that the game could have been q very
good one. but the score was mere In
cident in the game which was one OF
the hest fights nut no this season. The
Shafter men Mayed against q team
which had weight coupled with expert
ence. aud the combination proved too
much for them
After the game OF last week. owing
tn misunderstanding between some
OF the Diayers. the Shafter team broke
no. and for time II looked a. though
the league would lose this AGGREGATION.
However. Just two or three DAYS be
fore the game OF last night. two oe
the men who PLAYED on the old Shaft
er team got together and made uD an
other team which took the floor for
the first time last night be Russy Is
now admitted TO be the best team IN
the league, and for an inexperienced
team to 20 up AGAINST Il for the first
game means almost certain defpat.
The Shafter men worked hard. Thew
played for all thew were worth. but
experience was lacking and conse-
ouentlv Sins were made which gave
the De Rpssv men the chances they
wanted. Shafter IL setting ready for
q week OF hard practice and they are
eoing into the next game to wid.

The Y. M. L. c., remembering their

over on the Y. M. L C. boys.
| The score at the end Of the first
half stood at SO. The Y. M. L. G.
began the second half with q slight
lead but they didn't keep It for long.
