ROSEWOODS TRIM
INDEPENDENTS
Hill ToSsers OutclaSS McCord's
Team in All Departments
of the Game

Dame Fortune again smiled on the
Rosewood A. c. five, City Amateur
League champions on Saturday night
and it came out victorious over the
Harrisburg Independents, in a game
played on the Chestnut Street Audi
torium floor for the independent cham
pionship of Dauphin county. The final
score was "a to 80.
The Hill tossers displayed rare form
and led by Kent on the offense out
classed the Independents at all times
Only twice during the entire game
was Captain McCord and his artists
in the lead and this occurred during
the opening minutes of play. Several
times later the score was tied but
never were the downtown lads able to
show enough speed to take the lead.
The Rosewood tossers outscored the
Independents nearly two to one from
the field, and the only redeeming
feature of their play was the foul
shooting of McCord in the opening
period, he netting eleven out of thir-
teen tries. In the second half he fell
down miserably, however, and only
Gagged seven out of thirteen, many of
these were missed at critical times,
when a point would have given his
team the leaQ.
Kent Big Star
"Sure Shot" Kline the star forward
of the Rosewood five was forced 10
take a seat in the background Saturday
night when Kent cut loose with style
of play that possibly has not been
equaled on the Chestnut Street floor
this season. Although closely covered
this lad broke through the defense and
Gagged five dual pointers. He also play
ed a clever floor game and was one of
the main cogs in the teamwork of the
Hill team. The other members of the
team displayed their best wares and
deserve equal credit, with Kent, for
the victory.
The Independent tossers were COW
cred closely and were forced to take
long, hurried shots at the basket. Kent
started the scoring for the Rosewood
team a second after play had been
started. The Independents soon led
at to 4, but at this period OF the
game the Rosewood team started its
drive, which was too much for their
opponents to cope with. The first half
ended with the score at . to Is, but
clever playing again gave the Hill lads
the lead which it retained until the
end. The summary:
