uai Stars of Rough But
Interesting Game.

Tired and worn out physically
after q long trip and hard con-
tests with Georgetown and Navy.
the Marietta College basketball
team last night attempted to offer
some sort Of opposition. to the
Catholic University tossers but af-
ter rough and somewhat ragged
forty minutes were forced to be
satisfied with, a 32-to-15 defeat.
The Westernsrs throughout the
entire game showed q lack of pep
that can only be explained by their
lengthy trip which came to such
a disastrous end out at Brookland
last night At no time did they
show the dash and spirit which
characterized their work against
against Navy night before last
They couldn't seem to get under
way properly and the two or three
times that they did manage to Hash
their customary speed proved TO
be merely dying spurts. The best
that can be said for their exhibit
ton is that they fought gamely.
BrsskIaaaers In. Fsrn-
On the other hand the Catholics
flashed one of their best games Of
the season. They were a bit rough
at times, t. is true, but a certain
amount OF roughness il almost q
necessity in their type of game
sportsma Mike conduct. At that
the dog tired westerners committed
more fouls than did the Brook
lsnders.
As usual Lynch and Fasce were
much in the spotlight for the Brook
Ianders. In addition to his excel
lent foul shooting exhibition Lynch
dropped q pair OF field shots through
the net while his usual clever pass
ing and floor work was indirectly
responsible for a number Of two
pointers accredited to his team
mates.
Fa.ee High scorer.
Fasce was the high field-goal
scorer OF the evening. He dropped
four double-deckers through the
net and. with Lynch, played the best
offensive game of the night.
Lynch started the first half with
a field goal after two minutes Of
play. Thirty seconds later he
cashed a free throw. Thereafter
for the next five minutes the game
developed into a close guarding az
fair with members of both teams
now and again taking successful
marathon shots at the rim.
with the half almost over the
Ohioans flashed their best play OF
the evening. 1t was a sustained
effort which at the end OF four
minutes had put them into the lead
for the first and, as things deyel-
oped. the only time during the game
A quartet OF field baskets and a
trio OF successful free losses. which
totaied II points, were the result
of the Westerners' squirt. The
Brooklanders at this time had but
eight.
With only three minutes TO go
before the half ended, Lynch and
his assistants started a feld-goal
bombardment that eventually put
them so far in the lead as TO al
most cinch the game. As the whis-
tie blew, Fasce collected a z-point
er that brought the Catholics total
up to 20. while the Ohioans had
been held stationary at IL points.
The FIRST nine minutes OF the sec
ond half proved TO be the hardest
fought period of the game. Neither
side was able to score a single
point until the last half was almost
over. Fasce then rang a double
decker. with this shot the West
erners seemed to once again feel
the effects OF their trip. They APP
peared to go dead" and were I'M
able TO stop the Brooklsnders' clos
ing minutes bombardment Of the
hoop. The game ended 80 to 10,
|. with She Catholics just beginning
to hit their stride. Lineup and
