EhiiIf ob tAit SHoaiN'hS
evening the juniors and freshmen
bowed to the seniors and sophomores
on the small end of an Is to IL score
The junior freshman classes fought an
uphill game against superior weight
and experience and lost by the margin
of a single foul. 1t was a battle from
the beginning to the end.
The junior freshmen combination got
the jump when Tierney shot foul
soon after the opening of the game
Douglas evened up matters for the SEN
ior -sophomores shortly after with a
foul. Then the same man followed up
with short shot from the floor, Civ
ing his team the lead which they held
throughout the game. As the period
progressed they played smoother and
easier game until at the end they led
10 to 6.
The feature of this period was long
shot by Tierney well back of the foul
line and out to one side of the floor
Tierney proved a fast man, following
the ball well, and not bad On shoot
ing. With a little practice and expe-
rience this man ought to become val
liable as an asset on the varsity.
With the resumption Of the second
half the Junior freshmen classes be-
came more aggressive and threatened
ma nv times to take the lead. Tier
many times to take the lead Tier
to start things off. Hardly had the pc
Rod been well under way when the
difference in scores dropped to one and
two points. Bursts of speed by the
senior sophomore classes, however, kept
the total in their favor.
All the way the lg22-l924 combina-
ton kept the bail in their possession
most of the time. Their passing and
shooting was wild, and what might
have given them a victory was turned
TO naught. The same fault was pre-
dominant in both teams, a tendency 10
individual play when the ball APP
preached shooting distance of their re-
speetive baskets. Neither side handled
the ball as cleanly as it should. These
defects. however, can quickly be COW
cred up in the next few days with ad-
ditional practice. Coach Ross has the
makings of a good team, but will find
his time well taken up in the perfect
ing of combination to battle with
Goddard next Tuesday.
Slayton played good game at cen
ter and was the right man for his
team TO pivot on. He is tall and well
built. 1t will take a good man to get
the lump on him. And he has the expe-
r;ence; he knows how to use his
strength. Last night he played de-
fensive game most of the time and sue
ceeded in breaking up several senior
sophomore attacks.
Douglass and Brown appeared very
good for the enior-sophomore team.
Douglas is cool and plays the floor
wei. He is consistent shot. Smith
picked one off the floor in the second
period and tossed il in for a pretty
basket. Douglas, Smith and Melon
aid shared the honors in scoring for
their side, getting two baskets apiece
from the floor Douglas also shot two
fouls.
Tierney was high scorer for the night
with three baskets from the floor and
seven fouls giving him total of 10
points. The lineup;

Notes of the Game.
The intercass rivalry was quite keen
both on the floor and in the balcony
With a little organized cheering there
ought to be some noise. A little better
turnout on the part Of the student
body might add to the volume.
Coach Ross has seen his varsity ma
terial in real battle, and he ought to
be more able to pick out the right
men for the first string outfit.
After seeing the game last night
many are trying to compare Spsuld-
ing's chances with Goddard's. They
must not be too hasty in their judg.
mcnts for a team made up OF the pick
Of the men who played last night,
working together, is bound TO get bet
ter results.
In matching up the comparative
weights of the various opponents in
this interclass game. every man on the
Junior freshman team was out-weighed
but Slayton. Credit must be given the
smaller members Of the light team for
the fight they put mp.
