BrowervilIe Trims Town Team

The Sank Centre Athletic, Club was
defeated at Browerville Friday, Jan.
26, in one of the fastest, most excit-
ing games ever played in that town,
by score of 20 to 16. The home team
was handicapped by not having theil
regular lineup, DR.. Gales, the center
being absent. In addition to this,
Browerville gave them surprise, as
they did not expect to meet with such
a we'll organized bunch.
Browerville played very clean
game, but lacked thorough knowl
edge of the rules of the game. For
that reason they erode" the Sank Gen.
tire men whenever they had the ball
Often there were tw0-sor thre to one
man. The Browervil1e center was the
star of the game. From the center
position he repeatedly batted the bal
with his fist so that it went like shot
into the hands of his forward, who u.s.
ually was ready to receive it under
the basket. His unusual height also
made it possible for him to toss the
ball into the basket without difficult
especially since the baskets were no.
regulation height on account of tn
low ceiling.
The hall was packed with pe"rle
who agreed the game was one of The
best and most interesting ever plav
ed there. After the game the loo
team gave the visitors supner at the
hotel and later dance. The Sa-'
