On Monday evening. the fast high
school team from Homecoming met de-
feat at the hands of the Oakland High
School boys. The game was one
crowded with thrills and exciting plays.
Central High began the scoring with a
foul pitched by burst. Scott, of the
Oakland team, then Gagged a basket
from field, and from that time on the
game was always Oakland's. The
Coney boys played fast and consistent
game, and showed the training from

the record for this year. What could

A FAST GAME
Oakland High Nearly Defeated
COllegians on Home Floor.

Oakland High School lost her first
game of the season to the Oakland
CoIlegiaps on Tuesday night, at the
Empire. The Collegians were playing
their usual whirlwind game, and could
have defeated any team with the dash
and spirit which they displayed. Sincell
shot seven baskets in the second half.
The high school boys again showed
their pluck and spirit. The boys were
simply stars, and seemed to do the
right thing at the proper time. Bolden,
Scott and Hinebaugh did the scoring,
while NaYlor and Cheuvront guarded
beautifully. Luck was against them.
With the fast article of basket bail
these two teams have been playing,
Oakland fans surely have had a pleas
ant entertainment. Lineup and score:
