| Thursday afternoon. For the greater
part OF the first half the bail was kept
about two feet higher in the air than
the ). G. boys could reach. and no one
seemed greatly surprised that the
points were 2S TO 3 against us. In the
second half, Johnson took center and
| Bell was moved TO forward, thus
putting three taller men toward the
college goal. This scheme, along with
more aggressive spirit on their part.
enabled the home boys TO get l6 points
at the better goal. while the Foresters
made only l2 points. Thus the game
ended SO to 25 in favor of p. S, +. A,

10 points, Davis IL and Johnson
enabling the s. G. boys to win IS to

could do was to secure % points to
