ing High, 80 to Is, Last
Evening
BY DISPLAYING
MORE VERSATILITY
A Large Number of Fouls
Called on Shamrocks, Few
on High School Boys

The Shamrock basketball team put Q
stop to the winning streak Of the Spauld
ing five last evening when they won the
game at the Church street gymnasium by
a score Of 80 to Is. They had much
heavier team and outdid the high school
boys with ease. Both teams showed good
team work, but the Shamrocks passed the
best and at times brought cheer from
the crowd by their fast work. Evidently
their team has been playing so much un-
der professional rules that when In
game of amateur rules they forget them
selves and foul often. In the game last
night they fouled IL times. Carroll,
Brown and Grady were the chief foulers,
Carroll having six called on him and
Brown and Grady five each. During
the whole game only five were called on
Spaulding and out of these only one was
shot in, that being from the hands Of
Stuart.
Some minutes passed after the opening
Of the game before either side scored, but
on an excellent shot Bartlett was the
first to send the ball through the net.
This started the Shamrooks off, and after
that they got warmed up and did some
fine work. They got their passing to
working and after series OF fast ex-
changes Brown was given the ball under
the basket and he sent it through for the
second time. In the first period Brown
played an excellent game, covering the
door with great speed and making the
highest total of baskets. Five were
marked to his name in the. first halt.
Hooker played against him at left guard

Hooker himself played a fast game on
the floor and got one of the two baskets
that were scored from the floor by his
team. He also shot two out of four
fouls. Peanut Carroll, at center, was
tied with Hooker, getting the other bas-
kets from the floor and also shooting two
out of four fouls. Tomasi, who played |
right forward last night, played the floor
fast and made many nice passes but
failed to score. Bartlett who was guard. |
ing him, did il well, and was one Of the /
Shamrocl's fastest players. BY his work /
number Of the Spaulding combinations
were broken up. Stuart, who played the |
other guard position, played hard toward
the end of the period and Gagged three |
baskets from the floor before the end of /
the half. At the end Of the half the high
school team had the small score OF eight
against the Shamrock's 25.
They were not on the floor two minutes
after their rest when Bartlett sent the
ball in after a pretty pass. The team
work of the Shamrocks was well shown
in this last half. They did not work the
floor quite as much but passed and saved
their wind. Brown was about the only
one that worked the floor 10 any extent,
and his dribbling was very good. In this
period the Shamrock's did not outplay
the high school so badly as in the first.
The total for them this half was II,
while Spaulding piled up 10. Carroll
starred for Spaulding this half, getting
three baskets besides using his strength
ON his opponents TO good effect. He held
bis brother down to one basket each pc
