c. III. S. CAGERS HOLD LEGION TO
TIE IN HOT BATTLE; STRALSSMEN
SHOW CLASS AND COACH PLEASED

high school basketball team bright
ened last night when the smaller
high schoolers battled the local
Legionaires to 1898 tie on the
high school court.
After the former service men had
started the scoring, Dutch" Strauss
cohorts came from behind and dur
ing the first half scored 26 points
while the Legionaires We're register
ing 16.
While the Legionaires were fight
ing to even up the score, Coach
Strauss, determined to measure the
qualities of more of his men, sent
in new material. W. Adams released
Lents, Cam replaced Green and
Green replaced w. Adams and Roach
succeeded Clark at guard.
The changed lineup did not prove
as effective as the original one and
the Leglonaires, fighting and dis
playing better brand of cagin, tied
the score For two minutes before
tae game ended, the score hung in
balance A field goal would have
won the game-and both teams tried
desperately to place the inflated
sphere through the iron loop. Capt.
Shafter Bailey's aggregation nosed
out a one-point lead in the last min
ute of play, but only few second
later a Legionaire fouled and Stats"
Green tossed a free goal, thus even
ing the score.
Im well pleased with the showing
my team made; in fact, I'm sur
prised at the outcome OF the game, -
said Coach Strauss after the game.
Tie coach did not assume charge of
the squad until last Friday and they
had been put through three work
outs under his direction.
Bailey is Missed.
That the Legionaires missed the
work of Capt Shafter Bailey, for
ward, was evident throughout the
game. Carlos Wilson played a won
derful game at Bailey's forward posi-
tion, his defensive work figuring con
spieiously in the small score made
by the high schoolers in the second
half. Wilson is a guard but is capa-
Bile Of following a forward s shoes in
case Of emergency.
Strauss cagers witnessed some DIFF
ficulty in catching their stride in the
first few minutes Of play. They soon
tightened, however, and so tight was
their defense that the Legionaires
were forced to resort mostly to long
shots which failed to boost the score
This defense was broken in the
second half and consequently, the
former khaki-clad lads did most of
the scoring. Keller and McCarty
were the scoring aces for the lie
gionaires, while Wilson, Hendrix and
Williams were the backbone OF the
defense.
In l.. Adams, guard; Green, center
and Washburn, forward, Coach
Strauss has the nucleus of a wonder
full machine These men showed un
expected flash and skill last night
Clark, former Bradley high school
forward, played a consistent game
until he was released Jy Diamond
Roach. Tha little forward, Lents
probably was the speediest man OF
the court, although he had some diff
ficulty in handling the ball.
