ment while "Tobey" bounded
away down the court, with his
slender adversary, Marshall in hot
pursuit. Phillips passed straight
and true down the hall and at =

it went singing into the net. Then
Gait ripped loose. Weaving in and
out among the opposing basketeer3

Again the kid" repeated thu
weaving process and tailed.
Lucky" Fisk and Marshall
were peppering the basket but
their shots rolled around the rim
temptingly but did not settle
within. "Sandy" Phillips pick ID
up the ball and scooted by the
local defense and found the mesh

the invaders leading 10 to /.
Recovering from an annarcnt
case of stage-fright the local,
started to whoop things up mite.
Whitley" Dumas shot his free
throw, after he and Phillips had
been mutually fouled, and tn ~
"Fitz" ran wild for a couple Of
minutes. He scooped the ball up
under his basket and dropped t
into the hoop. No ono saw him q
moment later as he streakcd
toward the basket. But "Chick"
Burch saw him out of the corner
of his eye and passed into the
lads hands; the leather settled
neatly into the mesncs. Again
Marshall's marked propensity to
following the ball resulted in an.

"Fitz" secured possession of the
sphere long enough to arch il
into the loop. "Tobcy" then had
his inning, tossing in one of his
colorful one-handed shots clean
through the laces. "Luckv" Fisk
emerged from the thick of the
scrimmage under his basket and
popped in a deserving counter tor

Here "Tobcy" contributed or
of the most picturesque shots cv i
witnessed at the Armory The
big raw-boncd pivot was fumbl q,
for the ball on the floor with
Marshall. Suddenly Selling the
sphere he sprung, brushin" aside
his light opponent, and all in the
