resulted 1920 in Spaulding's favor two
weeks ago but was played in pecu-

In the first period Earl Smith played

several times in outiumpng his oppo-

five was clever and forced them ahead,
1879, in a short time. Little, the six
foot-four man, who had been playing
left guard was then transferred to his
original position at center. This to a
great extent accounted for sudden
change in the scores, and before the
first period had concluded .the Peerless

points for the second period the score
then being 1913 in favor Of the Peer

just as in the first period, Spaulding
started strong in the second, caging the
ball number of times before their
opponents managed to get a fair OPP
portunity Perhaps it is the method
the Peerless men 60 after their games,
for they came back suddenly strong in
the latter part Of this half. These
giant players missed many baskets and
to this poor shooting is attributed their

Peerless left guard, Ralph oliver,
