this section. were delegated by the
common council 10 block Ponsford,
the outstanding star OF the Tigers
y o this the two gave their almost un-
divided attention and how well they
hung on TO EOLsl0rd throughout the
game is best told by the fact that the
Tiger champion scored but once When
10 was handy, Booth, Tiger forward,
was blocked but for the most part he
was left to run wild, being able TO
score but points, although the
guards gave their attention 10 Pons-

The Tiger Hunters again showed
unsurpassed Judgment when IN prac-

time 10 q play used with success on
the Pacific coast by the Marines,
trusting 10 personal proves for the
rest The plan OF stopping Ponsford
worked perfectly; the dark boss"
play nettled the Tigers and the per-
sOnal work OF LapowsI at forward
and BrOaddus at center was backed
by enough force and speed that the
Tigers could stop neither. Lapowsli
scored ten points. BrOaddus = the two
highest scores Of the game. Compared
with his form OF last season LapOWsAl
looked like a hippopOtamus but here
again admirable judgment was shown
by the fast forwards class OF play,
using the strength acquired by some
20 pounds additional weight In a
wearing down style Of play that tired
and bsfled the Tiger guards. In the
marine formation Bryant did telling
work, while BrOaddus outplayed both
Tigers placed against him.
As for captain Harry McKemy
and Bob Carson fl may be said
that another such an exhibition OF
guarding has not been seen on
local 1oors for a number OF sea
sons.
