BASKETBALL.

The Milford High School Girls defeat
ed the Caulk Club girls in closley con-
tested game last Thursday night, the
score being 6 to 4. During the first
half two substitutes were in the High
School lineup, but in the last half the
regular team played. The Caulk girls
have improved greatly since their last
game, and give every indication of
making a winning aggregation befoi e
the season is over. The High School
girls seem to have lost the team work
which characterized their early season
playing, and the lack of steady practice
is possibly accountable for this. The
lineup as follows
Milford H. S. Caulk Club.
Kern forward A. Harrington
Bennett forward Deputy
Salevan
Masten centre Farrow-W Watson
Vibbert guard Walls
S. Harrington guard Kirke
Field goals: Milford High School

of the toughest and most exciting games
seen in Milford this year. The visitors
were strong on making fouls, and sew
eral of Company BIS tallys were made
because of this. With but few minutes
to play in the last half, an argument
over afield goal which Company b claim
ed should have counted caused trouble
which finally resulted in the stopping of
the game. A foul had been made by
one of the Selbyville players and Nc
Gallery shot but missed the goal. Time
was called by one of the Selbyville |
players and Referee Short allowed it. |
An instant later Company B placed the |
ball in the basket. The referee did not |
allow the tally because he had given the
Selbyville players time out. Had the |
goal have counted, the score would have |
been tie at II points each. Company B |
was Immediately in arms and instructed /
the scorer to count the two points. The
referee left the floor. Cooler heads
prevailed, however, and the militia boys
agreed to play the game out allowing
the score to stand II TO Is in favor of
the visitors. When they went to the
floor, Selbyville then showed a yellow
streak and refused TO continue the game.
Up until this time the trouble had laid
with the local boys, but this attitude of
the Selbyville boys placed a different
aspect on the game. They saw that they
were up against a tough proposition
and to the On-looker is seemed as if
they were hunting for loop hole through
which to escape, the reason possibly be-
ing that they are after the state cham
ionship this year. after giving the
visitors time to return to the floor and
they still continuing to refuse to play.
the referee forfeited the game to ,
Company B.
The Milford High School girls team
met their first defeat of the season Fri
day evening last when they played the |
Academy team at Dover,
The score being 13 to IL. The Milford c
girls lead up until the last few minutes
If play when Referee Ritter called four
fouls straight of Miss Masten, Milford's 7
centre, the tallYs made from them be-
ng sufficient to win the game. The b
Milford Girls are far from satisfied with (
he treatment which they received at +
he hands of the referee. Mr.. Ritter is q
he same gentleman who umpired the
Jaulk- Dover games early last season, r
md the Caulk rooters remember him. U
