Homestead into camp to the tune OF

The squad consisted OF Mack, Mai

with Flick and Garne&u substituting

and two veterans Capt. Mack and
Malcolm.
Two minutes after the first whistle
blew Malcolm brought the crowd to
their feet by caging a basket from
the center of the floor. The game
was played with a snap from the
first whistle and not a little credit
is due TO Duffy and Goodman, who
although new men, played with abiii-
ty of old heads. And to Lasater goes
the credit of playing a sensational
game of stationery guard.
The basket shooting of Malcolm
and Mack featured the game. Fol-
lowing is a summary of the game. \

very attractive.
