Play of Greeks Improves
Rapidly After First Period
When Farmers Men
Threaten Defeat.

Coming across with great rally in
the third period when the score stood
4 to 2 against them the Greeks batter
ed down the Muncie attack and de-
Tense, making three goals and winning
out by the score of 5 to 4. A fairly
large crowd turned out to witness the
game and was well repaid as they
saw one of the fastest and cleanest
games of the year.
Lancaster Boots EN- Out.
Picking a star in the Muncie-Greek
setto would be hard matter as no in
dividual work "stood out" strong en-
ough to call him the Star unless it was
Lancaster's play in front of the cage.
Hank prevented Fahrner from scoring
several times when he slipped by the
defense and came tearing down the
floor toward the guardian of the local
cage. Hank met him about yard
from the cage, booting the pill out
in the most approved style.
Ellington, the hard hitting center of
the Muncie five, got but few chances
to get the ball on Picks" and his driv-
ing for the most part was all wild al
though he did manage to give Lancas-
ter few hard chances. Fahrner play
ed perhaps the best game he has
shown before a Richmond audience
being the whole thing on the visitors
firing line. The defense of the visitors
was also much stronger than in previ-
Gus games as Houston. of Elwood, was
in Houses place at half back. This
gave the visitors two old and expert
enced defense men who time after
time would stop the Greek advance.

not hold out the last.
Muncie Outplays Greeks.
Things looked bad, very bad for the
Greeks in the first period especially
when Fletcher topped the ball giving
it just enough force to get into the
cage rolled lazily towards Lancaster
and between his legs for the visitors
first tally 1t was a very lucky goal
Fahrner added another five minutes
later when he got by the defense and
slipped one in. Everything was Mum
Gle in this period and the knockers
were busy.
Things began to happen in the sec
end period the game becoming faster
with each minute of play. The teams
appeared to be more evenly matched
than ever anC it was nine long min
utes before either side could score
Here came Vic. right from his own
goal going by the visitors as if they
were tied. Getting within shooting dis
lance of the visitors cage he handed
Allison a beautiful assist and the
score stood to ! in Muncie's favor
Just 1:24 minutes later Costing, not tc
be outdone by his defense mate, pitch
ed one behind Poland for the Greeks
second marker. The score was tied
The Greeks were outplaying and out
fighting the Muncie five at this stage
of the game. Fahrner put his team
one to the good just "a seconds later
Muncie held this slender lead for the
remainder Of the period.
The third period was the best period
of the entire evening with the Greeks
staging their own feature &C. How tc
Do 1t When the Doings Good" SPEEDY
Fahrner was the first to score making
the score to 2 in his teams favor
Then it started Lefty Bulia broke
away from his affectionate friend ant
let loose with one of his cannon bal
shots which went straight and true in
to the corner of Polands cage. Allison
came right back with two more III
6:04 and Al respectively and the ole
game went into the local game bag
