in the W gymnasium yesterday, in
very one-sided game. The final count
was 81 to L. The game. although fast,
was marred by many fouls being called,
as is generally done in interscholastic
games, but other than this there were no
slow moments. The inability of the Prep
boys to cage baskets, coupled with some
excellent shots on the part Of their Op-
ponents, was the real cause OF their
downfall But one of them was able to
FIND the basket for more than one time.
This lucky person was Bolton, right for
ward of the team. Should the other
men pick up in this respect much more
can be expected of them
The game started by March shooting
a goal from the foul line, and at no time
after that was the result in doubt, as the
