PLAINSMEN FIGHT DESPERATELY, BUT
 LOSE CLUBBERS
Hungry" Floyd Is Too Much for Auburn Guards--Hahn
 and Chisholm Star
BY MARVIN MCCARTHY

I Superior goal shooting and closer
 guarding won one of the best basketball
 games played on a local court this sea-
 son for Coach Hutsell's Clubbers last night when Auburn lost its third con
 secrtive game. g to s4.
 1 It was a splendid battle throughout,
 the Tiger forwards raging from one end of the court to the other but closely
 pursued by the determined Clubber ! were mighty scoring pair, but Floyd
 and Chisholm of the local quint outdid
 them in this department, partly because
 of their ability to make their shots count. or Auburn losing it's third straight game, ] and it fell to the lot of the Plainsnen, tired out with a strenuous road trip. to l, draw the assignment. Results of tho fatiguing journey were not to be scen ! in the spirit or s'pep" of the Tigers, but l shots were missed that should have been made, and this cost Auburn the victory. HIGH HONORS TO FLOYD High honors must be bestowed upon Hungry Floyd. star forward of the
 C1ubbers, who although he was not the leading point scorer, undoubtedly played the best game upon the floor last night. Floyd was most difficult man to guard 1 last night and he led the guard assigned to covef him on every play a very dogs life. The Tigers had one man with ap- parently nothing to do but to stick to Floyd, but despite this handicap the Clubber forward rang up seven field goals, a difficult feat under any condi- tions. The majority of Ffoyd's shots were made when he was in motion and 1 from difficult angles. Not one easy shot was afforded the ianky Ciubber. but he certainly made the best of what op- lportunities he had.
 HAHN A STAR, ALSO | Hub Hahn Of the Tigers was almost
 an equal of Flopd last night Hahn is ,, also lanky individual. and he and Flcyd seem to have practically the same characteristics when on basketball court--namely, to ring up field goals. Hahn also scored seven field goals. He
 was not guarded as closely as Floyd, but. on the other hand. he had hard luck on some of his attempts that would otherwise have resulted in field goals. Gillie Chisholm Clubber forward. was the main point scorer of the game. lie tailed five field goals and seven foul goals, total of IS points. His greatest work was in relaying the ball from Bryan to Floyd and vice versa, whereby
  Wade. Tiger guard, was a sure-shot on fouls. making out of F free at tempts.
 IS TO 16 IN FIRST HALF The first half ended with the ,Clubbers only ? points in the lead, as the score stood IS to 16. In this period both teams fought for every advantage, and 1t was an even bet as to the winner after the first half was up. In the final period, however, the Tigers became inaccurate in their shooting and the Ciubbers be- gar to pile up a lead. rally towards the last of the game almost tied the score, falling only points short of this. Both pairs of guards are to be con- nented upon for their great work For the Clubbers. Laughiinhouse and Smifh chung to their opponents with grim determination that know no denying, and 1t was easily the good work of these two that held the Tigers score lower than that of ths Clubbers.
 DETERMINED GUARDING ' Wade. Lassitcr and Mandy were equally as determined, but Hungry Floyd was too slippery and got loose for about three rleid goals too many. Tho game was hard fought, as the 2s fouls will show. but there was no lack of sportmanship Clean playing was the order of the night, and only eagerness caused the many fouls that occurred. The Clubbers scored points from foul goals, whilL Auburn had 8 taiiies of this kind to her credit Line-ups and summary follow.
