Hazard A. A. Wins
From c. &H. Quintet.

The Hazard A. A. won the hardest
fought game of basketball that has been
witnessed here this season Saturday eve
ming from the Cushman & Hollis quin-
tet by score of "a to &c. The game was
full of dirty work. In the real
article of basketball the Hazard
lads slightly outplayed their OPP
ponents. The Auburn bunch did not
get to playing until the second half was
well under way and in the first half were
constantly offending on the side of rough
ness. At the end of the first half things
looked dubious for Auburn, the score be-
ing % to s in Hazards favor. Finally
the Auburnites awoke to the fact that
roughness would be their downfall and
with Hugh Solomon, former Al-Maine
High school back in 1912 and erstwhile
star on the Wassitts. playing in his old
position, the Auburn lads steadily gained,
running up % points to Hazards II. The
guarding game of the visitors in the sec
ond half was of the closest order but FIVE
goals being registered by Hazards. In
the first half Solomon played forward
and was practically lost. Stetson and
MARI also starred. Sears and M. Scott
made over half of Hazards points. Near
~ every one of the Auburn lads tried
conclusions with NJ. Scott, finding him
there every time. The summary:
