ium to capacity, the Cougars broke |
even in the basket ball series with |
the California Bears on Tuesday and |
Wednesday evenings by the scores OF !
27-22 and 1927, respectively. Both |
contests abounded in speed and /
spectacular mid-floor shots, Eggles- |
ton of California and Hockey of |
Washington State dividing the scor- |
ing honors.
Bears Win Tuesday
In the first contest, played on
Tuesday, the speed of the California
forward, Eggleston, shooting from
beyond mid-floor and the heavy
guarding of Majors, smothering
completely all attempts made by
Moss, proved the principal factors
in the Cougars defeat by the score
of 22-27. Except for a few minutes
early in the game the Bears held the
lead, Eggleston shooting baskets
whenever the Cougars narrowed the
margin. Symes and Anderson add
ed the balance of the California
score
Moss, smothered by Majors, left
Rocky to shoot five baskets from
the field In 13 attempts from the
foul line, Moss added 10 points.
King, McIvor, and Copeland fought
hard, postponing the certainty of
the Bear victory until the last of
the game.

throughout the first half, the Cali |
fornians merging forth leaders by
the score of IA to 10. The second |
half started with the speed of the
first, each side making baskets al
ternately Then, as the period grew
older, the fighting Cougars grew
more determined and widened their
lead. In the last five minutes ellis,
who was substituted for McIvor, who
went out on fouls, instilled more
fighting spirit into the Cougars and
insured victory.
