This was a series where every man
was q star Each was playing his
position in; fine shape. The guards
of each Of the teams worked especi-
ally well, holding the forwards to few
baskets. The small floor prevented
the fast men from getting away to
do any especially good work. This
also kept the score more even.
The members of the teams and the
scores Friday night are as follows:
Juniors Score 81.

The finals in the high school series
were played in the gymnasium Tues
day evening before large crowd.
Though not as many turned out Tues
day as did Friday, the yelling was
Just as spirited and the enthusia SIN
was good. The game between the
Juniors and Sophomores was the bet
ter Of the two. This game was won
by the Juniors 17-12. It was
clean and fast and though on a small
floor many Of the players showed
that they were capable Of playing in
fast company. The players were all
in the star class. Each member Of
the Junior team, with the exception
of Gibson, who played back guard,
were able to land at least one field
basket. Butler, the captain of the
Sophonores, was the leader of his
team in all departments Of the game:
He made more points than any other
player during the evening, was al
ways in the game, covering the floor
in fine shape and continually break
ing up the plays of his opponents.
As in the games Of the first series,
the work of the guards was especially
good. Though the forwards worked
hard, with the exception of Butler,
they were unable to get away for
many free shots.
This gives the Juniors undisputed
right to the Cup given by the Athletic
Association. During the coming year
they, will be the holders of this
trophy as well as to have their class
and year engraved upon it. They
may hold it two years if successful
in the series in the year to come.
The Grades outclassed the Fresh
men without much trouble, winning
by a score of 25-12. This game was
much rougher game than the Jun
ior-Sophomore tustle. -
The Grades showed much better
team work as every time they secured
the ball they would work to their for
wards. The Freshies on the other
hand would simply throw it wildly to-
ward their end Of the field, hoping
that one Of their, forwards might be
in the way to stop it. Guon played
the game for the Freshies, being the
only one who could consistently get
the ball from his opponents and keep
it. The work of the forwards and
center of the Grades was good,
though closely guarded they kept
raining the ball around the basket and
piled up about the same score the
second half as they, did the first q;
The players were the same for
these games as the 6rst ones with the
exception Of Nelson instead of Han
son for the Grades. MI @s.ss ~ *sl
One Of the main. features OF; the
series was the spirit shown by the
members of the different classes
backing their respective teams. AT
times the air was filed with flying
arms and ribbons, and one was al
most deafened with the Fyells from
the followers Of the, team that had
made a basket sor a brilliant play.
This makes for better athletics and!
