The Mankato Commercial college
quint defeated the representative
team OF the LovOla club last night
at the Y. NJ. c. A. by decisive
score OF 26 to 13 in one of the fast
est, snappiest games that has been
witnessed on the Y. NJ C.. A. floor
this season, before an audience of
three hundred. The Commercial col.
| lege while not in the best of form,
owing to the importation of three
new men. played fast, remarkable
game, and at no time during the
game did they allow their opponents
any chance for victory.
The Loyola club was slightly hand.
icapped also, playing one or two cub
players. But everything considered,
both teams played remarkable
game. This is the second of the
series between the two teams, each
team winning one game apiece. The
game of the series will probably be
played in two or three weeks.
The Commercial college play the
normal tonight, and the local high
school play the Y. NJ. C. A. at the
