fore coming to that basketball VIC
tory scored at the Armory yesterday
when the Capitol Hill lads fell before
the Red and White basketers to the
tune of 81 to 10. A year and half

long end Of any kind of a battle
against the Easterners.
Two years ago in football Western
won from Eastern. Since that time

out repeatedly. In basketball East
ern has won dandily, in fact West
ern has never before defeated East
ern in basketball. Baseball games
were won by Eastern with compara-
tive ease, although the Fasteners
Tucked out last spring and caused the
game to stand at a tie at the end of
nine innings.
Last fall Western looked for a win
in football, but the Light Blue and
White athletes handed Western a sur
prising defeat IN q manner which gave
w estern no cause for an alibi. Yes,
terday, however. 1t was different
store, for the Red and White basketers
showed not only superiority in condi.
ton, but better basketball ability t.
such an extent that they are today pos
sessed of several records.
