team. playing one OF its strongest
games of the season. n0sed out the
strouz Armour Post. American Lee
giOn team. OF Chicago. by the score
OF % 20 20. IL was one OF the clos
est and cIeanest games seen on the
local court
The fans were disappointed IN the
absence OF RED" Dever, OF the Chi
eago quintet. who was out OF the
game because Of an injured knee,
bue Sachs. who went IN at his posi-
ton soon made them forget about
the sorrel-topped tOsser. Sachs will
be remember as a member OF the
strong Seward Blues team when that
team was defeating all corners. He
also gained prominence as a half
hack on Paddy Driscolls famous pig
skin chasers.
The new life injected into the To-
cal outfit proved a combination that
would give the best OF them a strong
tussle. Matt Butch. the high school
player. put up a strong game at
back guard and held the famous
smith in check at all times. with
the result that ne was unable to
score a basket from the floor. While
Butch was trailing Smith, Dixon and
Idsxa. OF the visitors, were able 70
toss in baskets. but not until they
had received considerable opposi-
zion from Kizer and Butch.

vantage and on many occasions
raced back TO ward off the visiting
attacks. Rizer was high point get
ter for the locals with nine. closely
followed by Burnham and Rhodes
with eight and six. respectively. XII

thorns IN the sides OF the Armour

The locals had a big advantage In
foul shooting, az Kizer was in rare
form. scoring i've out OF seven.
Smith. OF the Chicago team. failed
on two losses at a time that would
have gone a great ways towards boil
stering up the morale OF his team.
At that. Smith tossed two out OF
four. Both teams were unfortunate
in having a number OF losses roll
around the ring only 20 drop out
Burnham broke the ice for the
~ team with q pretty ringer a
minute after the game started. XII
gar tossed a free throw minute
later and Burnham repeated with
score from under the basket. Liska,
OF the Armour outfit, chalked up the
frst marker for his team, but
Rhodes. receiving a pass after the
fogs-up. sunk another into the net
Tor the South Bend aggregation.
