Farmers Put Up Their Most Bril-.
liant Contest of the
Season.

The basket ball team representing the
Maryland Agricultural College won from
the Baltimore Medical College quint yes
terday afternoon by the score of SO to
q. 1t was one of the most brilliant con-
tests played this year, and the Aggtes
did their best work of the season.
It was a typical basket ball game, in
which two evenly matched teams played
despera tely to win. There was not a let
up during the entire forty minutes of
play, and it was only by showing the
greater amount of endurance that the
Farmers We're able to get away with the
victory. In the first half the score was
decisively against them, but they came
back in the last period with rush that
completely swept the Baltimore men off
their feet just how much the Aggies
outclassed their opponents in the second
half is shown by the fact that they
scored twenty-six points as against only
four made by the Medicos.
The Aggies scored the first point of
the game after about three minutes of
play. when Norris dropped the ball into
the basket from the foul line. Daley
eyened things up about minute after
ward by shooting a goal from foul. After
that the Medicos took the lead and held
the period the Farmers got going little
better and evened matters up, but could
not hold the advantage. 1t looked as
though the half was going to end with
the Baltimore team slightly in the lead,
but it threw four goals in less than a
minute. which placed it to the good by
thirteen points. The score at the end
of the first half stood 23 for the visitors
and 10 for the Farmers.
Aooies Come Fast
The second half had not been going a
minute when the Aggies began to get in
their work. Cole dropped the ball into
the basket from a position directly be-
meath, and that goal was followed by
others. The Farmers began to play q fine
passing game, and had they been able to
shoot little more accurately would have
scored many more goals in the second
period During this half the Baltimore
team failed to work a play that mad been
netting them points. and they did not
score but two goals. The Aggies played
some mighty nice basket ball in this
period for d green team, covering up
closely when their opponents would get
the ball and assuming the offensive with
ease when it would come into their
possession.
The play of Travers featured the game
for the visitors. The right forward for
ball into the basket at any time that he
sot within shooting distance. He was
II sure shot from almost any kind of a
position. once he was near enough to the
basket
Day. the Aggies' left guard played a
sterling game and pulled the feature play
of the day. He tried shot from beyond
the middle of the floor and, with the
whole Baltimore team standing watching
MIN, followed it up and shot 1t into the
, hon laA C.isy of int
ference. There was less of the individual
play on the part of the Farmers than al
any time this Year and their work as a
whole was exceedingly credtable. Cole
led his team in shooting goals, making
six successful tries for the BASKET, and
Shipley came next with four.
