CHATTANOOGA LOSES ID '. M. |. A. FIVE IN
 WELL PLAYED CAME
Game Close Until Last Part of Final Half When Locals Run Score Up-BrOOks'
 Playing Features

Efficient team work and Captain Brooks remarkable playing accounts for the local Y. M. c. A. victory over the Chatta- nooga Y. M. c. A. last night by the score of 34 to 20. The score does not indicate the fierceness of the game Until the last few minutes of play, the score was of the two teams was seperated by only a few points.
 The locals, although they outclassed the Lookouts in practically every department of the game were forced to fight for every point they secured. Chattanooga was good in one department of the game and this was guarding. Every man on the five was an excellent guard and the fact that Brooks scored the only points scored by the locals in the first half proves this statement.
 However ,the Lookout combination was broken when Brockhause, the star guard of the team, was forced out of the game for having four personal fouls credited against him. Cornelius was substituted in his place and the score which stood 21 to IS in favor of the locals at the time of Brockhause's removal rapidly grew to the final score.
 When Brockhause was removed the Lookouts gave up hope. Their pass work and team work failed and it was proven that Brockhause was the keystone of the team. The locals rang up 13 points dur ing the remainder of the game, bowman and Henley leading in the scoring.
 Ellis, the Chattanooga captain, was a strong man on the team but did not have a suitable partner. and was handicapped n this manner. Faucett. although fast. was weak on pass work. Lowry. the giant center, played well until the latter part of the game.
 Brooks played in a class by himself. He shot goals from the center of the floor and from under the basket. He got five field goals four of which came in the opening half. He shot 10 foul goals, making a total of 20 points for the en- tire game. Durham and Strange were given a chance at forward but failed to add anything to the strength of the team. Henley was substituted and played well, Working well with the remainder of the team and getting two goals. bowman played a great game at center during the last half and aided materially in crush ing the Lookouts offense. Estis and Faunce played at guard in great style, both guarding their men good besides getting a goal each.
 The playing of Brooks although re- marl1able, must be accredited to some extent to the remainder of the team The locals showed considerable improve ment over their last game and show prospects of developing into a winning five. Their next game is with the Colum- bus Y. M. c. A., at Columbus on Fri day.
