WRISTS FIRST GAME BY Sc TO 10

One Of the fastest games Of basket
ball seen in this city for long time
was pulled off Thursday evening in
the 7. NJ. C. A. gymnasium when the
team representing that institution took
the Community Club of Gardiner into
camp by final tally of So to 10. Tire
Y. NJ c. A. team played its first game
and the quality of basketball that the
aggregation put up was enough 70
convince even the most pessimistic
spectator, had there been any Of that
kind in the audience, that this five is
some" fast.
The Gardiner quintet was outclass-
ed from the start and the fast pass
ing and star shooting of the local team
kept the visitors forever on the de-
fensive. From the time the referees
whistle sounded the Y. NJ. c. A. team
started out with a dash and kept the
pace throughout the entire contest.
Henna and Thompson We're there
with seven and six goals respective

Smiley Gagged three from the floor.

basketball that everyone likes to see
