RICHMOND PHI Debts
PLAY RINGS AROUND
UNION CITY QUINTET

Union City proved no match for the
Richmond Phi Debts. The locals ran
away from the visitors in their game
Monday night in the Coliseum by the
score of So to 90. The Phi Debts put
up wonderful offense and scored al
most at will during the entire game
Richmond had chalked up eight
points at the start of the game before
Union City managed to break into
the scoring column, when McGehen
scored from the free throw line. me
closest the Randolph county lads came
to overtaking the locals was IN the
first half when at one time the score
stood s to 5. Here the Richmond lads
spurted and before the whistle ended
the first half the score was u to Is.
The Richmond lads put up fine de-
tense and the Union lads could do
very little in the scoring department,
especially in the second half. In this
period they scored only seven points,
while Richmond slipped the ball
through the nettings for 26 points.
Completely Outclassed
The Union City team was complete
ly outclassed in all departments of
the game. After the first five minutes
of play it was a matter of how large
the score would be. Many substitu-
tons were made during the game by
both teams, especially by the Rich
mond five. All the substitutes were
given a chance in the game.
On the offense Jessup and Simmons
were the bright lights of the game.
The basket shooting OF Jessup in the
first half enabled the locals to obtain
a good lead. He made six baskets
from the field and a total of eight
baskets for the entire game, before
a substitute was sent in in his place.
Simmons carried the heavy end in the
second half scoring six from the field
and two from the foul line. He col
lected a total of nine field goals and
FIVE foul goals, for a total of 23 points.
The Harding brothers, Roy and
Hank, put up a good game under the
basket. The work of Roy at floor
guard was very good. He worked the
ball up the floor on many occasions
for baskets and covered well on the
defense.
Best for Visitors
For the visitors Metank and Nc
Gehen we're the best McGehen dis
played some very clever basket ball
and was very fast but did not seem to
have anybody to help him advance the
ball to within scoring distance.
Metank also played a good game for
the visitors. These two men divided
scoring honors with six and eight
points, respectively
Richmond (53) Union City (2o)
