threc baskets during Inc time he was
in the game.
Lanpher was at his best. He was
quick as a flash and played a stiff Of
lensive game, proving a nemesis to
every Legion player.
Goslant and Demers lived up to
their reputation as guards of extra
ordinary ability. Both men played
games to be proud Of. The former
stuck close to the fleeing Clark and
hampercd his efforts to shoot Dem
ers watched Dumas as a cat would a
mouse and leaped upon him every
time he grasped the sphere. The f.
c. A. veteran experienced hard luck
in his shooting and was able to gath
or in but one lone basket Once in
an over hand throw, the ball struck
inside the hoop, rolled around several
times and hoped out
Referee Hicks held the boys down
strictly to rules which accounts for
the unusually large number of fouls
called on each side. He called 81 on
the Legion and q on the company.
Heretofore the boys have been play
ing a different game than they were
forced to play last night. Holding was
prohibited as was walking or running
even one step with the ball. Tackling
a man from behind was also taboocd.
The fans seemed pleased with UNI
pirc Hicks work. The players, if
Hicks referees the remainder of the
gamcs-or the second and last game
must conform to the rules or suf-
fer the consequences.
Each player drew a big hand when
they were introduced by Hicks. Mar
shall scored the first basket, a clever
toss from the side after several
minutes of play. Fisk got the ball and
dribbled the length of the court but
missed his basket Fisk missed many
shots in the opening session. Dumas
was injured in the nose when Goslant
tackled him in corner, Time was
called and "Whitey' retired for a
few minutes until he had recovered.
The first period ended with the score
8 to in favor of the Legion.
Foye started the scoring in the
second period by taking pass from
Lanpher and tossing the sphere
through the meshcs. Dumas sprained
his neck, but resumed after a
moments rest. Conner made one
cracker-iack shot from center in the
first period and made a second just
Ike it in the second frame. The
score was 26 to Is in the Legion S
favor at the close of this stanza.
When the last frame started tho
company boys seemed to be in better
condition than their opponents but
nevertheless the Legioners held up
fine to the finish, despite their weari
ness. Smith, replacing Foye, started
out early to play good game and
although he was not successful in
ringing baskets he played a fine Of
fenSive game. For the third time
"Whtey" suffered injury. This time
he sprained one Of the digits on his
left hands. An unfortunate incident,
which was soon erased, however, oc-
Cured near the close Of the final
period. Marshall in attempting to get
the ball from Gibson pushed the tail
center with great force against the
chairs and when Gibson managed to
get up he took a swing at the small
lad but missed. The men were separ-
ated and a double foul was called.
The fans are now looking forward
to the second big game,
Dancing was enjoyed until y
O'Clock, with Hcnault's famous OF
chestra furnishing some very snappy
music.
