COMMENTS ON THE
BASKET BALL GAME

The Circle Banner:
Yours for little space in regard to
the Circle-Brockway Basket Ball game
played Thursday the 18th, as the
6rockway fans saw it.
1t was real game OF basket ball
moment, and nobody's game till time
was called to ent the struggle. Never
before had been seen in Brockway a
lineup OF SO many athleticly built
young men struggle for dear life to
gain supremacy. Everybody done his
best to win. The Brockway boys knew
they bad to put every inch that was in
.hem to win, and went into the game
with all their might. Circle likewise
did the same, and when the whistle
blowed the struggle was on. And
some struggle, never before had /
seen such struggle among players,
only playing for the glory that was in
it, and / have been from ocean to
ocean and in many important contests
myself, in the boxing line.
Joe Ronney is some basket ball
player and he is hard to beat in this
part of the country. / really don't
think he has learned all he knows in
Circle for he has got the class, of
that there is no doubt. Win Allen
knowing him from the Circle game
went in for the game of his life and
some guarding it was. 1t was die or
do with Allen and there was no doubt
ne played rs per cent better than he
did at Circle. Brockway had some
changes in their lineup with Bud
Seubert for center, and the score
shows he played a great game and
mas bright future head of him as
a basket ball player. John Anderson
also did we'll at center and with a
boil on his cheek he must havt beeRr'
into trouble several times to play at
all. This takes grit to do as he did.
O'Rourke and Chase played for all
tAdt " do LII -tACAA Q4Ao 60fOAdA NAAAOo
got pretty rough with both taking part.
But they laughed at one another and
took it good natured which shows
true sportsmanship. Young and Gasti-
neau played hard game at all times.
Gastineau is some guard. Peterson
and James played a rafting good
game and nothing came their way
that was not taken care of.
All the way through the game can
not be hardly be duplicated and the
fans got real treat for 25c.
The referees did well only one little
say to them not to call fouls on every
little point that cannot hardly be help
ed. as it takes the life out of the game
Otherwise there cannot be no fault to
be found.
The Brockway High School team |
will be down to Circle on the 28th |
and if the same game is duplicated |
between the town teams as was at |
Circle will see some game. |
| kind of think quite few fans will |
90 to Circle to see it from Brockway |
and will dom their best to root for the |
boys and hely them win. These
.eams are evenly matched and it is no
,nes game till the gong rings and
ends the struggle. And l assure 4
Circle will see some real basket ball
playing as taking on both Brockway |
cams 1t will be real entertainment |
ind treat to them. The Brockway
High School team is a classy lot of |
'oung fellows and can put up real
game with any. team, though out
weighed they overcome this by their
asst team work.
The Brockway Athletic Club hearti
Y thanks the Circle boys for the game
hey put up against our boys, and
ome again you are welcome.
Let me say another word to the
,ublic such classy playing should be
such as these teams put
Ip and should be patronized. ! am
ure you are not making any mistake
o see an entertainment of this kind
nd we'll worth the price of admission
Yours very sincerely,
