The outcome of the game between
the Mounts and the Ohio State School
for the Deaf, of Columbus, Friday
evening told of the ending of sue
cessful season for the Mounts and the
first defeat administered the mutes in
the Ia games they have played this
season. The score was 80 to 81 in fav-
or of the Mounts, it being one of the
closest scores made this season in
Mounts game.
To start the ball rolling, Seymour of
the Mounts Gagged the ball and the
fight was on between the two teams.
The Mounts gained lead of 4 points
on the visitors and then the mutes
tied them through the excellent guard
ing of Weber and the floor work and
shooting of Seinensohn.
At only one time in the game could
the Mounts gain lead over their op-
ponents of more than 6 points, when
they ran up eight points while the
Columbus boys were not watching.
However, this lead did not last long,
as Seinensohn and La Fontaine pulled
the mutes up to the locals with two
baskets apiece.
The game was one of the cleanest
and most spirited ever played on the
local floor and there were a great
many remarks by the large number of
spectators relative to the absence of
dirty" playing.
The score ran almost tie until near
the end of the first period when Bond
Gagged two baskets and Mitchell shot
a foul. The gun cracked and the
Mounts had a lead of 5 points on the
visitors, the score being 81 to 16
In the second half, the game was
played with more pep" on the part
of both teams. Although some un-
heard OF collisions took place, the
game continued to be played in the
cleanest manner possible and proba-
bly, both teams felt more satisfied
over che contest after it was over
The second half was played off with
the same even score and when the
final gun cracked the Mounts were
victorious by two points, the score
being 80 to 81.
The playing of the Columbus boys is
hto, hln tho
was the closest score made in any Of
the games of the Mounts regular
schedule this season. The playing of
the members of the Mounts is in for
great praise, too, as they played their
cleanest game of the season.
No one has seen any real dirty
playing at any of the Mounts games,
but few dubious acts have been OBJ
served in other games.
The Mounts played together well,
there being no individual plays by any
of the members of the team. The
guards, however, were unable at times
to keep track of the Columbus for
wards and the latter were able to
make any shots when they were open.
During the season the Mounts have
lost but four games out of the many
they have played. Friday night was
a fitting ending of the season, as the
game was one of the most interesting
the Mounts have played. The o. S. S.
D. boys have just completed sue
cessful season, having played IA
games and lost only one-that one
being to the Mounts in the contest
Friday evening.
