SUPER BASKETBALL
EXHIBITED IN FRAY
WITH TIGER QUINTET

DePauw university's basketball
team downed the Earlham five for the
second time this season. Tuesday
night at the Coliseum, by the score of
1927. During the first half the Quak-
ers fought the Tigers to a standstili
and emerged with the big end of a
21-20 score. The second half told
different story, however, as the Meth
odists bombarded the netting with
deluge of shots, many of which took
effect.
For the first 20 minutes the two
teams played some of the fastest
basketball seen on the local floor for
some time. Each outfit exhibited
clever password and the two scores
remained in such close proximity that
the spectators were kept in state of
constant suspense. Eight minutes of
the initial period passed before either
team was able to connect for field
goal. During this time Lawler made
three foul shots, while CanH~tl made
one.
Young Scores Goal.
Young, of the Greencastle five, was
the first to secure two-point marker.
Carey OF Earlham soon retaliated and
from this time on the quintets scored
alternately. Bills made the count II
all at the end of Is minutes with a
long shot from the side. The first
half ended with the Quakers one point
in the lead and battling every inch of
the ground.
Shortly after the beginning of the
second round, Young brought the
Methodists into the lead by a field
goal. Here Cannon proved himself a
worry to the score keepers by collect
ing four field goals in raid succession.
The scoring melee thus commenced
continued to the end of the game al
eral times in an attempt to hit a win
ming combination During this period
the Quakers scored 6 points while the
visitors annexed % markers.
Cannon lis Star.
Cannon of the Greencastle aggrega-
ton was easily the star of the game
both in floor work and in points. This
speedy forward managed to collect a
total of 81 points. Mendenhall and
Young also played a stellar game for
the winners.
For the locals, Carey showed up to
good advantage. He used his lanki-
ness to a good advantage in follow-up
shots under the basket. Beck, Goar,
and Lawler all entered the scoring
column, Goar. annexing 10 points.
Lawler did not seem to be on good
terms with the basket and was unable
to come across with his usual number
of field goals although he fought tooth
and nail all the time and broke up
many plays of the Methodists. John
son played consistent game at back
guard and especially during the first
half proved a wall of strength which
the visitors seldom got by.
Feel Halls Absence.
The absence of Hall was felt by the
team as this was the first time for
two years that his name had been
missing from the lineup. Townsend,
a freshman, is showing promise at
the center job and will probably fill
that position next year.
The Quakers have two more con-
tests to play this week, Butler on Fri
day night and the Indianapolis Dentals
On Saturday night. Both of these
games will be played at the capital
city The last contest of the season
will see Franklin in action here.
