the 'Y" victory. The Buckeyes were
bit slow moving to cope with the
lightning attack Of Lanning, and not
fast enough to pierce the stonewall
defense of Parker, Brunton and Schep-
man.
The echo of the initial whistle had
hardly died away before Lanning, To-
cal forward, copied q pass Immediate
ly beneath the Hamilton goal. Parker,
a second later, dropped the sphere
into the basket after taking the ball
down the full length of the floor on
a dribble.
Dismal" Jones, not to be outdone
by the generosity Of his two team
mates, contributed another field to
the cause. boosting the same to the
eight mark. The visitors. meanwhile
were slowly warming to the fray, op-
ening up with some classy floor work
