Ames got a basket and it Hooked as if the roof was going to leone sure. But in the last minute of play a gentleman from Plaiafeld i showed his ignorance by cagiag goal (which mae 1t seven in all.

 About this time Dougherty, Plain fields center, lost control of himself and hit Pierce ,our able right guard, Iwho had taken the ball from him.
