| que High school basketball teams met
| in a sUperbly played contest at the y.
] N. c. A gym The match went to the
/ local boys by the score Of "A to 81, but
only after an exciting battle in which

passing of both fiVeS eclipSed any other
game which has been played with out
side teams by the local quintet.

was full five minutes of fast play
when the first basket was trimmed by
Kilburn. The New Mexico squad re-
taliated with two well thrown shots
which tailed baskets. The first half
OF. the match was played under the
collegiate rules, and in the second the
A A. l. standard was used. The play
was even more furious toward the end
of the second half, as the local players
broke up several long shots which the
New MeXicanS had relied upon The
excellent work of the guards prevented
the Albuquerque students from fast
scoring
During the first part of the second
half the FL PasO five increased their
score by accurate passes to their for
wards who played under the AlbuQuer-
que goal, and baskets were inevitable.
Against this revival the Albuquerque
squad failed to display the brand Of
play which they had put up in the first
half. but kept the local quintet from
scoring by good guarding. Several foul
throws in the last few minutes of play
boosted the New Mexico score several
points. The match was fast and clean
throughout.
