AMERICAS HIGH
DOWNS ALBANY
Win Fast Game Here By
Score Of IS To
30

Tie Americas High school basket
ball five routed TIE Albany five at
the Salvation Army gym here Sat
urday night by score of As to 30.
The game was hard fought, in the
first half both teams fighting for frs;
place with the score close, but when
Americas opened up in the last half
goodbye Albany Americas rang
more goals in the last half than AL
bany got in the whole game, making
"a points in this period.
Albany got the first goal Of the
game, giving Americas fans a scare.
Americas got foul goal a few min
utes later followed by field by Al.
bany. Scoring then see-sawed back
and forth, first Americas getting a
goal and then Albany The half end
ed with the score 16 to II in favor
of Albany.
Americas lads, in the rest period
decided that in the next half they
would defeat their old rivals or die
trying. They were considerably weak
ened by losing their star guard, Fet-
ner, who was injured in the early
part of the first half but when the
second half was called they went into
the game with all they were worth.
The tide was turned here, the first
part of this half giving Americas
an additional / 8 points while the best
the visitors could do was to secure
four points. This gave Americas II
score Of 20 to Albany's 20. In the
last quarter the Albany lads recover
ed q little from the daze caused by
the fast and brilliant playing of the
locals in the previous quarter and
.ricd desperately to even up the
score. Though they did better in this
quarter than in TIE disastrous third.
their efforts were in vain, Americas
going still further in the lead, run
ming up sixteen points more to the
visitors 10, making the final score
as to 30 in favor of the local lads.
The game was fast and clean from
the start to finish and many brillian:
plays were made by both sides.
A return game will be played the
Albany lads next Friday.
