f.. C. A. BEAT TUFTS
A Mighty Interesting Basket Ball
Contest At Y. M. G. A.
Building.

BulAO1ng.
In a fast game in F. c. A. Hall
last Thursday night, F. G. A. defeat
ed the fast Tufts quintet by the
score of 81 to %. 1t was adver-
tised as the fastest game of the sea-
son and the claim was not mislead-
ing. The locals were outweighed
and in the scrimmages the visitors
were more than able to take care
of themselves, but the speed and
team work displayed by T. G. A.
proved the undoing of the college
five.
Demers was back in the local line
up after several weeks lay-off, and
he showed that he hadn't gone back
by leading in the scoring, caging
the ball seven times, and playing his
usual all-around WhirlWind game.
Dutile was another local who showed
great form and his brilliant playing
brought forth great applause. Be
dard was assigned the task of look
ing after Anderson, which is akin
to saying that Bedard had his hands
full. This man Anderson, who sub
stituted for Richardson on account
of an injury to the latter, is one of
the fastest men in the game today.
He managed to connect four times

throughout the entire game and
managed to add two baskets to F.
C. AS total.
The first period started off with
rush and there was veritable fu-
sillade of the baskets by both teams
and a little rough work for good
measure. The locals took six shots
and Tufts four before Dutil scored.
This broke the ice and after the toss
up Bedard took the ball down to
the basket and dropped it in. An
other lineup and Demers repeated
after some pretty passing by his
teammates. Again the shifty for
ward Gagged it and then Dutile
brought the house down with a
pretty shot from a difficult angle.
Anderson, Demers, Martin and Du-
tile missed and then Anderson shook
off the locals, one by one, and Gagged
the ball. Angel, whose name by
the way is rather misplaced, came
through with Tufts last score of the
period. Demers took the ball when
it was tossed up between him and
Angel and neatly dropped it through
the hoop. Bedard finished the ses-
sion with a perfect shot, half the
length of the hall. Score, F. c. A,
IA; Tufts, 4.
The second period of 10 minutes
was slightly in favor of the visitors,
who scored 10 points to the locals
eight Each side took 1 5 shots, the
locals scoring four hits and the Wis
itors five. Anderson showed class
in this session and eluded Bedard
long enough to cage the ball three
times. In the local five, Larry Gag
ner came to the front with two of
his famous long shots. At the start
Pryor, Angel and 'Demers missed |
and then Gagner Gagged one. De- |
mers misjudged the distance again |
and then Anderson ploughed his way |
the local five and scored. |
Van Dyke scored his first one and !
Larry made his total two. 1t was |
again Anderson's turn and although |
two or three men were hanging on |
to him he managed to cage one that |
brought the crowd to their feet. !
Gagner and Dutile tried and failed |
and Angel and Pryor had the same /
luck, but Anderson was there with |
another perfect shot. Demers got |
hold of the spheroid again and |
against all opposition made three |
tries before he Gagged it.
It was a pretty piece of work and
he fans showed their appreciation.
Martin, with pretty shot evened up
'or Angeles basket but the latter
came back with anoth-
IT, which closed the period. Score,
?. C.. A, %; Tufts, IA.
In the closing session the locals
shaded their guests, both in pass
ng and in goals scored. The col
eye boys realized it was their last
nance and went after the game with
rush, but F. c. A. not only held
hem, but increased their lead by
hree points, one of them being on
ouls. O'Meara came into the lime
light in this session scoring three
ines and both Dutile and Demers
we're credited with three. Martin
made it two all between him and
Angell. Van Dyke added a basket
o the Tufts side. Score, 81 to 22.
