BlCKHANN0N QUINTET TRIMS ST. NARY'S TEAM
HEAVIER PLAYS
BRILLIANT GAME
Local Quintet Lacks Practice,
But Plays a Marlborough
Game.

Playing in midseason form the
Buckhannon Collegians basketball
Ave composed of three regular mem-
bers of the West Virginia Wesleyan
College team, defeated the st. Mary's
Club five in a fast and interesting
game played on the st. Mary's gym
nasium floor Saturday evening, the
score being 80 to 16.
While the Buckhannon boys
doubled the score or the local quip-
tet, the game was one OF the fastest
and most interesting that has been
played here since the days Of the old
Scholastic team. The st. Mary's team
lacked practice at shooting the ball
into the basket, or there might have
been another story to tell. The team
work of the two fives was about even
but when it came to caging the pig
skin the locals were not there.
The game started promptly at S:lo
O'Clock, and four minutes OF the first
half had been played before either
side scored and then both teams
scored at the same time. A double
foul was called on H. H. Williams
and Morrison and Ross Of the Col
legians Gagged the ball, making the
first point of the game. A few sec
onds later Kersting, WHO snot fouls
for the st. Mary's team, repeated
Ross's act. giving the st. Mary's five
point, tying the score. From this
time on until the end Of the first half
the Collegians were in the lead.
Near the end of the period the ST.
Mary's boys took brace and came
within two points of tieing the score.
but the Collegians ran away with
from them, again having seven
point lead at the end Of the half.
In the second half Richardson was
substituted for McAndrew and j. VIII
lams and Crummit traded places.
This shift was beneficial to the team
work o fthe st. Mary's boys, but stu
they lacked the art og caging the ball.
The Collegians played faster ball IN
the last half than in the first and II
was soon apparent to the large croWd
present that the Collegians wouiu
win the game,
Jimmy. Heavier, local boy,
playing on the Collegians team, was
the star performer of the evening
and many basketball fans who have
seen him play number of times said
that they never saw him play bet
, Ter game He was the main spoke
of the Buckhannon team and all OF
its plays and team work were built
around him. When time after time
he Gagged the ball from difficult an
giles of the floor. 1t was apparent
to all that their Judgment was not
misplaced.
In the firsht half he made five field
goals and in the last half four, max
ing total of eighteen of the thirty
two points made by his team. Nor
rison and Ressiger, the other Wes-
leyan players, and Ross and Blake
also played great ball.
Kersting was the star performer
for the st. Mary's team, his best
showing was made at shooting fouls.
He made six out Of nine trials which
is better than the average. He also
made ten of the sixteen points made
by the st. Mary's team. While not
in training, h. Williams at center
for st. Mary's played a great game,
as did ]. Williams, McAndrew, Rich
ardson and Crummitt.
The work Of Lloyd Nudge" Will
liams. who refereed the game was
the best ever seen in this city. His
work was entirely satisfactory to
both teams.
