In Inter- Glass Basket Ball Con-

Especial 10 The News ard Observer

durham, Dec. 13.-The SOphOmOreS
last chance at winning the interclass
basketball championship Of the season
was obliterated Tuesday night when
the second year team met defeat at
the hands Of the seniors. Up TO that
time the juniors and the sophonores
were tied for first place, n it was
freely predicted by local edopists that
a deciding game between the two mid
die classes would have to be played.
Fol once, however. the prophets mis-
prophesied, and the title goes to the
juniors undisputed without another
game. The score in last nights game
was Is to IL in favor Of the seniors
At the close Of the game Referee
Cherry presented the championship
banner to Frank Brown, captain Of
the junior team.
The regular lineup of both the
sophomore and senior team was brOk-
en- up considerably last night. Guards
played forward and vice versa, the
object being to get the relatively
against each other. The senior inc
up seemed to have been engineered
with the greater ingenuity, however.
The second year men only got two field
goals during the entire evening. The
victory Of the fourth ear men was
due mainly to the superb guarding Of
Holt, at center, who held the redoubt-
able Nation scoreless, Of Secrest, at
forward, who held Terrell to a single
goal, and the all round excellent work
Of Mount Peasants, who, during
the past series has developed into one
Of the best players in college. Muir
ray n Hyland played their usual
strong defensive game, each doing
good guarding and getting a field goal
apiece.
The sophomores were held in re-
straint at every point. Hard luck did
not feature in the game SO much as
did superior guarding, although Rome
did miss several shots by very narrow
margins. With Nation n Terrell
out Of the game, so far as scoring was
concerned, the sophomores were help
less. Nation shot six foul goals, and
Terrell got one. Between them they
missed eight chances at free shots.

probability be: Siler and McKinnon

Thorne, guards. Cherry will be shift
ed to center in some Of the games

| Brown will be used in his guard. TIL,

be the most strongly contested posi-
ton on the team. There are four me,
at least, all Of whom appear to b,
about on a par for this place. The,
are Carver, Ferrell,' Nation and An
