| were hurled at the team by the man. agers of the Rectors and Y. M. c. A l contingent. The Rectors in submit i ting their claim to the championship 1 direct attention to the fact that they l have thus far won Is games and suf- ! fered but one defeat. | Manager Lovely of the Rectors has 1 taken the trouble of conducting a per sonal investigation of the CoIonials' record and contends that that team ! won but one game all season. That victory" he said today, was scored against Westport and the Westports l at the time were crippled. And yet the Colonials won only by a margin l of three points, Manager Lovely says also:- 'The following is the record of defeats chal<ed up against the Colon ials: St. Mary's 28, Colonials 2; Vic tors 35, C61onials 2; Compo Life Guards 32, ColoniaIs IS. This is somewhat different than | the statement issued by Manager Lynch that the ColoniaIs only played | 8, few games but all were victories Manager Lynch asserts that the Rectors played all out of town games ! This is true to a. certain extent as 1 there is only one team in the city which is in a class with the Rectors- 1 Y. M. c. A. team. Manager Lynch 1 of the CoIoniaIs is so well informed about local basketball that he can not name three teams in the city, who are willing to give the Rectors ] q game and put up any creditable showing.
