as far ahead of all other centcrs in the
southwest as Bowman does at forward.
Miners Tried Hard.
In the second game of the night Sat
urday the great fighting spirit which
Tom Dwyei. has instilled into the
Miners enabled them to hold the Y. NJ
C. A. team down for the greater part
of the first half Toward the end Of
this half the "T" team began getting
in its team work and after that it was
merely a question Of how big the score
would be.
At the end of the first half, fine
shooting by sag" Shea put the "Y'
ahead by the large margin of 25 to 2.
In the second half both the Y. M. c. A
and the Miners changed their lineups
somewhat. In this period the 'Y" con-
tented itself principally with practicing
team play and the Miners scored six
points while the ''Y' was getting u.
The feature Of this game was the bas-
ket shooting Of sag" Shea. Sag has not
played quite his best game recently,
but Saturday night he showed that he
has returned TO his own, as he scored
20 of the 81 points. Had no other mem
Der of the team made a point, the goals
scored by sag" would have been suf-
ficient to give the 'Y' the game by a
good margin.
Bob Done, as usual, played a strong
game at center. For the Miners, both
Billy Race and Buster Biggs played
well Billy played good game through
both halves. Buster was not a howl
ing success at forward in the first half
but he played fine game at guard in
the second period of play

Bailey Bents Alta Vista.
Saturday afternoon the Bailey bas-
ketbsl team defeated Alta Vista in
the SeEiOr Grammar School league by
the overwhelming score of AZ to (.
The game was not even good practice
for Bailey. Palmer Boyd played q
great game for Alta Vista but he could
not win alone and his team mates rem
With the sole exception of Palmer, the
Alta Vista players showed ignorance
Of the game. It was quite clear that
most of the players had never played
before Saturday. The entire Bailey
team played well throughout, with the
exception of two faults. Not more than
two or three times during the game
did they follow up their throws. This
is one of the first rules of basketball
and had the Bailey players followed it
Saturday they would have been able
to score many more points. The other
fault was that in throwing for a bas-
ket the boys rarely raised from their
feet On the whole, though, they put
up a splendid game for youngsters and
when they have overcome these two
( faults they ought to run away from
any of the other grammar school
teams Their team work Saturday was
far better than some of the big teams
show and reflects credit to Stanley
/ Shea who has been coaching them. The
