Donovan and SOuSIey Feature
Fast Game Witnessed
by Monster
Crowd.

Before the largest crowd that ever
thronged the Y. NJ c. a gym. the
fast travelling Ohio lads from Find
lay high school fell easily before the
terrific onslaught Of the local tan
and blue squad last evening by the
score Of AZ to %.
The comparison OF the scores does
not merit the relative strength of
the two teams, for the Ohio lads
were much larger boys than the local
crew. but they could not muster
enough endurance power TO match
the winners and fell easily. The
game started off with a rush and
after o minutes Of playing the locals
had piled up a II 10 lead. Grad
ually the visiting lads cut down the
handicap until only five points sep
arated them from South Bend when
the first half was called.
The second half started off with a
rush. but the rush was mainly by
the visiting crew. They threw
scare into the crowd, for in about
one minutes play they had located
the hoop twice. But then they sue
cumbed and from the first five min
utes on the locals piled up a steady
and an easy lead
Two Local Stars.
All the credit for the locals Won
derful showing is due to the great
form displayed by the two stars of
the local crew, namely, Donovan and
Sousley. The former, the center, led
the field with eight baskets TO his
credit, and time after time he jump
ed for a held ball near his own
through the net The latter. the
smallest man TO ever wear a tan
and blue suit, and the so-called
South Bend mascot" when the To-
Gals visited Findlay, easily outpassed
any man on the floor
O'Donnell. captain of the locals,
came through with five baskets from
the field, but most every one was the
result OF a pretty pass from the
midget, Sousley. Smith and Z1ky
performed creditably at the guard
posts, but the latter was prone TO
try a little rough tactics. for which
he was several times warned by Ref
cree Miller. Seven fouls were chalk
ed against him.
For Findlay, Crosby at forward
gathered four ringers, while the first
guard of notice to appear on the
local floor made his appearance in
the person Of Capt. Routzen. Though
small of stature, he covered ground
like a fiend, and easily outfought any
man on the floor and that by clean
tactics.
Play Niles Tonight.
The visitors are considered the
cream of the Ohio state material.
but their showing last night can
hardly warrant them the victories
they have attached 10 their scalp.
They will perform in Niles. Mich.
this evening, and Metzler, coach of
the local crew, is slated TO referee
the game. From Niles the travelling
lads will depart for Chicago.
