CHRISTIANS WIN At
BASKETBALL, 3O-is.

The largest crowd yet on hand TO
witness one of the games under the
Boys Club schedule was present
Tuesday evening TO watch the contest
between the Christian and Methodist
teams, in which the Christians were
victorious by score of 30-1S.
The game started with much spirit,
the Methodists assuming a lead of
SO after but a few moments of play,
by series OF well pulled of man
euvers, making things look dark fm
the Christians. However, Launer. the
Christian. speed demon who had not
yet awakened, came to himself and
soon the Christians secured lead
which they maintained throughout
the remainder of the game
At the close of the first half the
score stood 1863 and at the end of
the game each side had, approxim-
ately, doubled this. Both teams
showed their determination of win
ming throughout the evening, no ten
dency of "babying" each other being
noticeable. On the contrary, the op-
posing men handled each other as
they would so many bags of sand.
Launer was the star of the evening,
land the way Bixby and Smith of the
Methodists pulled off some pretty
plays was interesting.
The Christian lineup was. For
wards, Launer, Faubion; center, c..
ITrimble; guards, Bratton, Teel. The
Methodists: Forwards, Smith. Her
rick; center, Ament; guards, Bixby,
Kesterson.
By this game the Christians as
sume temporary first honors in the
series, with the Methodists second,
and Presbyterians and Baptists tied
for third place. This tie will be brok-
en- Saturday evening when these last
named teams meet. II the interest
and attendance at these games con-
tinues to increase at the present rate,
it will not be long before would-be
spectators will have to be turned
away.
