RICHMOND GIRLS ARE
LOSERS TO lYhCHBURG

The basketball team from the
Lynchburg Young women,s Christian
association was victorious over the
.sextet representing the Richmond Y.
w. c. A. on the local floor last night.
The score was 81 to ri.
The visitors had cne OF the bost
girls teams ever seen on the local
floor. The teamwork was unsurpas-
sable, and their accuracy in shooting
goals proved to be first-class
The supremacy of the Lynchburg
team began at center. Miss Peck,
at that position, got the jump on the
tall each time, speeding it to Miss
Massie. who shot it. to the forwards
and then to goal. The local guards
seemed to be unable to prevent the
throwing Of goal once it reached the
opposing forwards
Many of the points of the Rich
mond team was made on account OF
throwing of free goals. Seven points
were made in this way while the visi-
tors only made one point from a free
goal Lynchburg was penalized con-
siderably because Of failure to keep
one hand behand the back while
jumping at center
Misses kunz and Cross. the Lynch
burg forwards, were clever at throw
ing goals. The former registered
eleven and the latter rung the goal
seven times Neither of these players
was of large size. but they seemed
to possess an agility 10 cage the ball.
Credit especially is due them for the
victory. although the center and side
center aided materially in the victory
The Richmond team was saved
from a greater defeat by the fouls
made by Lynchburg. In goal throw
ing and guarding they were not in the
