High School Defeats
Mayvi||e Reserves,

| '" sSSVs WI
In the fastest and most spectacular
game seen on the local floor this year,
the second team of the Mayville Nor
NAL school went down to defeat be-
fore the lighter and faster team of the
high school last Friday night. The
game was played to q record crowd of
enthusiastic people and at times the
cheering was so loud and in suoh
volume that the referees whistle
could not be heard.
Every chair was filled. The house
was packed to its full capacity when
the Mayville teamcamo on the floor
for its preliminary practice. Hopes
rooters began to doubt when they had
sized the visitors up for they appear
ed taller and heavier that the local
boys but possibly triAe slower.
When they began to roll the ball
around the rim of the basket, in the
minds OF some this doubt become q
certainty.
Hope came out soon after attired in
white jerseys, as our maroon was too
much like Mayville's and would have
been confusing. Mayville won the
toss and selected the east goal for the
first half. Referee Livermore tossed
the ball up at the centre and the game
was on. Trammell got the ball on
the jump, tipping it to Ray, but May
vile, by close guarding, broke up
the play. Jefferson eventually emerg-
ed from the scrimmage and dropped
the ball into the basket for Hopes
first goal, Mayyille having scored
previously by a free throw. During
a considerable length of time the
score was close. Jefferson worked
the repeater in effective shape and
Capt Ray and Reynolds contributing
two points each by free throws.
Trammell played in spectacular style
getting the ball on the toss-up time
and again and playing a very good
passing and guarding game His
hight and jumping ability were used
in good fashion to break up the
opponents play time and again.
Fullmer as usual played a strong de-
fensive game and was at home with
Mayville's style of play. Jake en-
joys feats of strength. Mayville did
much fouling in this half, having a
tendency to hold and shove their
lighter opponents. Hope drew away
from Mayville toward the close of the
half and left the floor with the score
of lG to S in their favor.
After the usual intermission, which
had been filled in by the high school
by singing and cheering, the teams
came on the floor and changed goals.
Mayville's lineup had been changed
to allow McNair, an exceedingly
fast and experienced man, to go in at
] right forward. Hopes lineup was
unchanged. Five minutes passed and
neither side scored. Cassell, who
] had been kept out because of poor
physical condition, was placed at
left guard, Reynolds taking his old
position at centre and Ray moving to
forward. Jefferson got back his old
form and dropped in two from the
floor, Reynolds added another.
Vadnie went in at forward, Ray back
to guard, and Cassel shifted to his
old guard position. Hopes guarding
game was even more effective in the
second half, Mayville failing to score
in this period except by free throws.
The game closed with the score % to
II in Hopes fovor.
| Cassell played a strong defence
game and as usual was at his best in
breaking up the opponents play near
the goal. James is seldom caught in
a hold, he gets the ball away quickly
even when guarded. Vadnie played q
fast passing game when put in but
had little opportunity to shoot.
That Hore has strong team in the
best of condition is shown by the fac
that not goal has been thrown
against her in the second half of an,
of the three home games this year
We're proud of this record, especiall,
when against heavier team. Th,
lineup of the high school was as fol
lows:
Trammell G Substitution
