X. OF G. AND HIGH SCHOOL WIN
THEIR GAMES EASILY.
X. Of C. Practically Cl1nches schon-
berg Cup by Defeating the
Snappy Five.

/ In one of the most exciting double
headers of the entire series the X.
of G. and High School romped home
by defeating the snappy Five and
American Legion by decisive scores.
In the first game the X. G. tied up
with Snappy Five, who played their
best game of the season, but were
| not strong enough for the league
leaders, who forged ahead with a
safe lead In the first half. The sec
ond half found the Snappy Five
fighting with that never-say-die spirit
which made the game very interest
ing. The K. G. forwards, Heintz and
Clark, stood out as stars for the
winning team who showed cham
pionship form as club, while La
croix at forward played best for the
Snappy Five and played the best
game he has played this year.
In the second game between the
High School and Legion, it was very
evident from the outset as to who
of how many the Hi would make.
The score stood 40 to at the end
of he game and only indicates about
so per cent Of the results, the other
so per cent being pass work on the
part of the High School. The Hi
deserves a great deal of praise for
the manner in which they handled
the ball in this game, even tho the
score indicated very one-sided
affair.
"Wednesday night the Snappy Five
made bold attempt to get out of the
cellar at the expense of the Legion,
but failed by two points, the score
ending 1913. The first half ended
4-3 in favor Of the Snappy Five, and
the Legion came from behind few
minutes after the whistle Of the sec
ond half determined to win. The
score see-sawed throughout the sec
ond half until finally the timers
whistle was sounded with the Legion
the victor.
The High School, playing in usual
form, defeated the highly-touted and
strong G.. G. C. by the score Of 25-12
in very interesting game. The c.
Il. C. played a good game but found
the High School stamina and pass
work invincible. To pick star
from the High School would be Inn
possible, as the entire team played
brilliant ball. King, Latil and Duke
played a brilliant game on offense
while Caison and Seller played con-
sistent game on the defensesive.
For the c. G. c., Emile Menetre and
Planche played a good game.
