TWO GOOD GAMES
IN Y BASKETBALL
FEATURED LAST NIGHT

o nthe Y. NJ. C. A. basketball
court last night the Karos were de-
feated by the Wilson Biggs by the
score of 80 to Al, and the B. F. Kings
won from the Swans Downs, 33 to 20.
Both were very close throughout,
and no enc could predict who would
be the winner in either game until
the final time keepers whistle ended
the playing.
These games were the best exhi-
bition of team work, passing and goal
throwing and all-round playing since
the beginning of the season. Each
game shows improvement in the
teams, and before the league closes,
some phenomenal PLAYERS will be de-
veloped.
The rise of the B. F. Kings during
the last two games has been remark
able. They have met and defeated
during the last two games the Karos
and the Swans Downs, both of which
had previously won an easy victory
over the Kings. The Swans Downs
displayed some of their pass work as
usual, but a great many passes were
intercepted by the guards of the OPP
posing team and resulted in goals
for the Kings.
In the game between the Karos and
Wilson-Biggs, both teams passed the
ball good, but the guards were. on
their jobs and broke up great many
passes. Some seemingly impossible
goals were made by both teams, and
the goal throwing was very good
The lineup of the teams follows:
