FAST SHAWNEE TRIANGLES DE-
FEATED BY FASTER WAGON co.

SBCOHuNHIlI WAGON 70. i II4 Won Dy
a scoresof 80 to 26 over the fast
Shawnee Triangles here Wednesday
night. At the end Of the second
half the score was tie.s24 ALL In
the five minutes overtime period
Wagon Co. made six points to their
opponents Q.
In the first half Wagon Co. while
playing fine floor game, seemed to
have almost entirely lost their bas-
ket shooting eye. Time and again
they missed easy shots. However,
their splendid guarding held the
score of the Triangles down re-
markably well, considering the ease
with which they made baskets, when
given even a half chance. During
the first half Shawnee made fields
and two fouls Wagon Co. had
failed to score a single field basket.
In the beginning of the second half
Shawnee again scored with pretty
long field then with foul Soon
Bingham scored field which put
new pep in our players, and they
commenced to gradually cut down
Shawnee's lead, and kept on until
they had tied the score. Then for a
time first one side and then the
other led by point or so. Wagon
Co. then led out and trimmed cou-
pie of fields, which gave them 4
point lead, and with only about 2
minutes remaining, the crowd
breathed a sigh of relief feeling that
the lead could not be overcome. How
ever, Shawnee in rapid succession
Gagged three long field baskets thus
giving them a two point lead, but to
spoil things for themselves, they
made double foul, and F. Deed
rick made both good, leaving the
score tie when the whistle blew.
In the five minutes overtime per-
iod our boys showed the real stuff
that is in them. F. Deedrick scored
with a field, which Bingham soon
duplicated. Shawnee next scored
with a long center shot. H. Deed
rick, after pretty pass, bucketed
close under shot, just few sec
onds before time was up.
Out of 8 games played this season,
some of which were with mighty
strong and fast teams, up till the
time they played Wagon Co. last
night, Shawnee had lost but sin
gle game, and has been playing hard
for the championship of this second.
They are fast bunch, right at home
on the basket ball floor, but every
thing considered are not quite up to
Wagon Co.
Bingham was back into the game,
the first time since his illness num-
Der of weeks ago.
