Hewitt came back with two points

were called on each team from the
beginning. Referee Ed Miller held
both teams very close TO the rules,
and much OF the unnecessary rough

was eliminated.
Groom a Shootist.
Broom of the Normal seemed 10
have more ability in shooting from
the white mark than Peterson OF the
Commercials. II Is interesting to
note that during the game the Nor,
NAL scored thirteen of their thirty.
three points from fouls while the
Commercials gained nine by this
route. Early In the game Wach;.
Ter shot a basket from a long dis.
lance and West was loudly ap
plauded. During all stages OF the
contest. three groups OF rooters kept
silence cut of the way. The Com
mercial bunch took up one corner
of the floor and produced some real
noise. The Normal bunch from the
other end of the gym" retorted loud
ly. and the High school crowd as
usual cheered everybody and every.
thing. The entire first half proved
disastrous to the Commercials and
ended with the Normal leading
twenty-six to seven.
In the second half Hewitt and
Giesele changed positions on the
NJ. c. c. quint and Messing replaced
Turek at guard on the Normal. The
Commercial team seemed to have
awakened from their slumber in the
second half and during these If
teen minutes made fourteen points 10
the Normal's seven, but the lead OF
the latter was too great.
Peterson Was Spectacular.
Near the end of the game. Peter.

of the evening, shooting backward
from the corner of the floor for a
gain of two points. The Normals
