but lost to the strong five of Annapolis
rnidshipmen on the armory court this
afternoon by the decisive score Of 40
to IL.
The big Green team was simply out
generated, and could not cope with the
rattling fast attack of the sailor boys
nor break through their defense with
any degree of success.
The Middies got an early and en-
couraging jump on their opponents. In
the first few minutes Of play they
Gagged the ball five times In rather
quick order. against one tally by tho
Hanoverians. The latter did not let up.
however, but fought hard all the way.
The first half ended with the score
reading Navy, 10; Dartmouth, 4. but
the indications were that the visitors
would show to better advantage In the
fnaf stages Of the play. They were not
equal to the occasion, however. Capt.
Smith and Adams, the Navy stars, were
in fine form. and this pair gave the
visitors their greatest bother. They did
some fine work on the floor. their de-
fensive play being especially strong,
and they also had a keen eye for the
basket.
Between them they rolled up thirty
four of the total points scored. For
Dartmouth Steele, who took GRANTS
place at guard. and Winship pore the
twice from court, and Winshfp had four
more points to his credit by successiul
throws from the foul circle. But the
real spectacular features Of the game
were furnished by the two fine throws
for goal by Steele, one from past the
center of the court. The lineup:
