Stellar work Of Goodbar and the
accurate passing Of the visitors, and
some poor luck in hitting the basket
for Earlham were factors in the defeat
OF the Quaker basketball FIVE last
night, Coach Thurber's Wabash cham
pions taking the game by a 1910
count, before about two thousand spe-
tatOrS.
The Quakers had possession of the
ball two-thirds Of the time, and had
far more chances at the goal than
did the Scarlet, but the locals seemed
unable to place the sphere accurately.
Many times it rolled around the hoop
and dropped to the floor. BY actual
count the Quakers had nineteen
chances at the basket in the last fif-
teen minutes Of play, in comparison
with only eight for the visitors.
Credit must be handed to Goodbar,
floor guard of the Wabash five, who
trapped the ball four times, at the
same time holding his men to one
lone marker. Another cause Of the
Quakers' downfall was the password
Of the visitors. Thurber's men have
perfection. Passes the full length Of
the forward in waiting, who perform
ed the rest.
Goodbar Shows Form.
Goodbar opened hostilities with a
field shot after the former had drib-
bled the ball down the floor. A little
later he again caused sorrow in the
ranks of Earlham rooters by dupli-
eating the stunt. Earlhams first
marker came a minute later when Abe
Rowe Gagged the ball near the basket.
The Quakers were unable to score
again in the initial half. Wabash.
meanwhile, having swelled its total
to 12. Score: Wabash. 49, Earlham, 3.
Coach Reagan made several changes
at the beginning Of the second half.
Rowe took Kemper's place at the piv-
otal point: Wolfe and Logan taking
the fore positions.
The second session was marked by
the same uphill fight of the locals.
Logan. Wolfe and Rowe toyed with
the visitors, but could not hit the net
ting for the necessary markers. The
work Of Logan, speedy forward, was
the fastest ever seen on the local
floor for many moons
Visitors Crippled.
The visitors suffered from an cpl
demic of injuries the last half. taking
time out four times. Goodbar sus-
tanned a turned ankle, Ellis was
f1oored. while Egan's head made con
nection with the floor for three min
utes' delay.
Goodbar and Eglin deserve the most
credit for the Wabash victory, al
though the whole team fought hard
from the initial whistle. The work of
the former was the best seen on the
local floor this season, GoOdbar, max
ing nine of the visitors points and
preventing many Quaker markers. Ell
lis and Leffel put up stellar games.
Williams was easily the best per
former of the Quakers, covering his
man we'll and working the ball down
the floor time and time again. Logan
was another bright light for the losers
fast as a shot, and good passer
the former bids fair to become one OF
the Quakers' mainstays. Lineup and
