LOCAL " WINS
ANOTHER VICTORY
Defeat Kokomo Chamber of
Commerce. urnh am
Again Stars for Locals.

The South Bend "Y" annexed an
other victory Saturday night when
they defeated the fast KOkOmo
Chamber OF Commerce five by the
score Of 81 to %. The game was not
as fast as some OF the former games
played on the local court, but the
majority of the fans went away sat
ished that they had seen one of the
best teams in the country, the vic
tors. Out of 10 free throws not one
counted, a popularity seldom seen.
Again Elmer Burnham was the
bright star for the locals. This
doughty little forward chalked up
- baskets for his team. He might
easily have made more, but at the
start OF the game he was having
ough luck. Several times the ball
rolled all the way around the iron
ring, only 20 fall out. Kensler also
had some difficulty in finding the
ring. but dropped in three neat ones
to aid in putting the locals on top
of the heap. The big center was
playing more Of a defensive game
nd all Of his shots were long ones.
Award. although the lightesC man
on the South Bend team, repeatedly
broke up Kokomo formations. and
time after time he took the ball
away from one Of his opponents
and either dribbled or passed it
down into "Y" territory.
McNutt Stars.
McNutt was the star OF the visit
ing aggregation. This big center
dropped the ball through the net
for seven goals, or half of his teams
points. He was carefully watched all
the time, and all but one OF his shots
were scored from the center of the
court. Sinner and Arbuckle also
played good games for the Kokomo
bunch. but the guarding Of Award
and Kizer was too much for them.
Time after time the Kokomo team
started the ball down the floor only
TO have the play broken up by one
OF these guards, or Kensler.
Sinner made the first point OF the
game. a neat basket from near the
foul line. Kensler tied it up a min
ute later with a dandy long but
Arbuckle dropped one in for the
down state crew. Kensler again
dropped in another long. The game
worried along for the next five min
utes with neither team having any
advantage The score was a tie at
eight all when Burnham got warm
ed up and dropped in three in rap
id succession. Rhodes and Kensler
each dropped a basket for South
Bend while McNutt and Arbuckle
ran the KokOmo total up 10 IS.
Burnham then began another squirt
which ended in FIVE goals, running
the South Bend total up to sas the
half ended.

hoys outplayed the locals a little.

locals 10. McNutt took the offensive
fo~ his SQUAD and deposited four
field goals 70 his credit, while Doug
lass and Sinner each scored one.

fore. He got four baskets. but most
OF the time two men We're right on
his heels. and ne had little oppor-
tunity to score. Due 10 the injury OF
wards shoulder Coach Cooper in
