RICHMOND EARNS
RIGHT TO PLAY
IN STATE MEET
High Basketball Quintet Will
Journey to Bloomington,
Friday.

BY defeating the Giant Manila t'as-
ketball team in the final game of the
tourney Saturday night, AZ to IL, the
Richmond basketball aggregation earn.
ed the right to represent this district
in the state tournament at Blooming.
ton Friday and Saturday.
"On to Bloomington" has been the
cry Of Richmond high school basket
ball enthusiasts and now Richmond
has the right of trying for state
honors.
In the first half Of the game, the
Manila five decided that it was out
of the question to defeat team that
was as determined to win as was the
Richmond five.
Wicker, the giant Manila center,
started the scoring with Il field goal.
Eighteen hundred frantic r. II. S.
rooters appealed for a goal by the
Richmond five, and finally Van Allen
located the basket after about three
minutes of play. Stegman then con-
nected for the second basket placing
the Richmond men in the lead. Then
the Richmond basketball five, passing
circle around the Giants, brought the
score to 90 and then eased up.
The Manila five came back stronger
and made seven more points before
the new block formation was attempt
cd and the play of the Manila basket
shooters stopped
After that the Manila five found it
very difficult to score owing to its in
ability to get within easy shooting dis
tance of the basket.
Blockade Is Effective
When the ball fell in the hands OF
the Giants. Simmons would cover the
center of the floor with Stegman and
Van Allen on each side of him guard
ing the side and Crafts and r. Price
under the Manila goal. 1t was then
almost impossible for the Manila crew
to pass to one of its men who was
in the block defense of the Richmond
team. and TO shoot at the goal was
hazardous as it meant the ball would
fall into Richmond's hands and be
worked down to the Richmond goal
again for possible two point
The first half ended 16-o.
In the second half the Manila team
had given up the problem of solving
the block formation and only attempt
ed to keep the Richmond team from
ruuing up higher score.
Stegman. Simmons. Crafts and Van
Allen covered the floor like streaks
of lightning, knowing that the ball
would be sent back to the Richmond
goal by Price if Manila was able to
elude them and work it down to its
goal
Van Maks Seven.
The ball was usually fed to Sim
mons and Van Allen who made the
majority OF the goals. Stegman and
Crafts came in for their share of the
scoring hCnors, making four goals
each. Van Allen made five out of
seven attempts at free throwing
In the last half the Richmond five
made thrtythree points to Manilla's
three
Wicker vas the chief scorer Of the
Manila FIVE. making three feld goals.
In the last few minutes OF the last
half, Robinson was substituted for
Van Allen. Harding for Crafts. and
Gardner for Stegman. Coach Rhodes
substituted Johns for l1utchins and
Gardner for Shook.

BY 36-3o::SC0RE

In an overtime game at Greens burg
Saturday night the Y NJ. c. A. basket
ball quintet defeated the Greensburg
five by a $500 score
The game from start to finish was
close, first one side scoring, then the
other.
Edwards of Greensburg was the
star of the game making twenty points
for his team.
Parker led the scoring for the Rich
mond "Y' making eleven points. E.
Porter made ten points.
Edwards of the Greensburg Ave
started the scoring, making a field
which he followed up by free throw,
giving Greensburg the lead by three
points.
The ''Y" passing machine then got
busy and forged ahead. The team
was unable to hold the lead long and
when the whistle blew the score stood
1915
The second half started fast. The
floor being small the Richmond boys
were at a disadvantage but forced
the Greensburg five to make long
shots. During the entire half it was
nip and tuck. When the final whistle
blew the score was 1920 and five min
utes overtime was started.
The Richmond Y. NJ. c. A. men were
able to hold the Greensburg FIVE score
less and O'Neal who was sent in by
Schwan to take E. Porter's place made
three field goals.
This is the first game O'Neal has
played in for some time.

Robs MolLu of
Ne1v Photograph

TNHE daylight saving
scheme was respon-
sible for Miss Molla
Bjurstedt, national tennis
champion, being late for an
engagement yesterday after
noon, caused two photogra-
pliers at the 9TH Regiment
armory to miss getting a pict-
ure of the famous Norwegian,
and otherwise mixed things
up considerably.
Miss Bjurstedt had just won
an indoor championship, and
as she was leaving the court
the photographers approached
and asked the champion to
pose for her photograph.
The snapshot brigade was a
bit slow in getting ready, and
Miss Bjurstedt, suddenly
glancing at the armory clock,
saw the hands pointing to
o'clock.
"Oh, am sorry, but | can't
wait!" she cried and dashed
away. leaving the photogra-
piers empty-handed and dis
consulate. 1t was later dis
covered that the regimental
clock had been showed an
hour ahead by the daylight
saving man, and that it was
really only II o'clock noon.
