mate, Summers, followed suit af-
ter some fast floor work. M. e M.
played a good floor game through
out but White and Kennard were
exceedingly unlucky in their basket

found the rim of the basket. only
to have the ball take an ugly turn
that robbed them of what looked
like sure score. Towards the

good one of two free throws, max

their basket. Both teams were
fighting hard and guarding close,
and they failed to score until White
made good two foul throws, the
score then standing Z to 8, with
Marietta leading. Neither team

hard tussle Hannah shot from the
center of the floor and Gagged a nice
field. Marietta and NJ e M. both
missed free throw but Hannah
let loose with another field, which

in favor of Marietta, both teams
battling to a finish when Hannah

floor. Hannah was taken from the
game few minutes later, just be-
fore the game ended, on account Of
four personal fouls. M. & M. miss
ed it's last chance to score when
White failed to make foul shot,
and the game ended with Marietta
winning over M. & M. by II to s.
White was the individual star for
M. e M. scoring all of his teams
eight points. While White and
Kennard were unlucky with their
long shots, Hannah was surely "on"
for he proved veritable wizard
with his long stabs, and it was this
fact alone which won for Marietta.
Both teams guarded close and it
was one of the good games of the

on the all southern Ohio team at
Delaware recently, which testifies
to his ability.
