SENSATIONAL SHOTS
feature BASKETBALL
OF HABICHS, RkYLS

Featured by many long shots and
sensational baskets from the center of
the floor, the Indianapolis Habichs
downed the Y. M. O.'s or the old De
troit Rayls on the Coliseum floor We'd
nesday night by the score of 33 to 20.
The Detroit team displayed more of
passing game than did the Habichs,
but could not overcome the individual
playing of the many stars in the Ha-
bich's lineup.
The game lacked the usual dash and
vim that has featured many of the
games that have been played here this
season, or when the men played in
their old college days. There was
plenty of action in the game and some
very clever basketball shown by both
teams. Time after time the teams
would work the ball up the floor for a
shot at the basket, after a clever bit
of floor work.
White PIeases Crowd
Don White, the diminutive floor
guard for the Habichs, showed up very
we'll and seemed to put more dash and
vim into the game than did the rest
of the players. He showed some very
clever twists and turns during the con-
test, and was a marked man from the
time he stepped on the floor until the
end of the game. He was allowed very
few shots at the basket. His floor
work was very good and the only way
that he could be stopped was by bodily
contact
To him goes the credit of making
the feature basket of the evening,
when he dropped one in from well past
the center of the floor in the first half
for his first marker. 1t was one of the
protest baskets that has been made
on the Coliseum floor this season, and
possibly the longest one that has ever
been made here.
Bacon Plays Well
Bacon put up fine game for the Wis
itors, taking the ball off the blackboard
and working 1t up the floor ON many
occasions. He also connected for two
goals from the field, both of them from
the center of the floor.
Stonebreaker was the leading scorer
for the Indianapolis team, making a
total OF 13 points, getting four from
the field and five from the foul line.
Johnson also came in for his share OF
the points, making four field goals in
the first half.
Dermody. Voss and Kavanaugh were
and put up very good games. Dermody
no doubt possesses one of the best bas-
ket eyes of any player that has ap-
peared on the Coliseum floor for some
time. He dropped the ball into the
basket from all angles of the floor. He
was the high point man of the game.
making a total of IA points, making
seven goals from the field.
Voss Up To Mark.
Voss, the husky pivot man, played
a very good game and was every bit
the player that he was cracked UP to
be- He is big tall man and gets
over the floor in fine style for his
size, his big long strides taking him
down the floor in very few steps. He
connected for three baskets in the
first half but got very few chances in
the final one and failed to connect for
field goal.
Kavanaugh put up good game at
backyard but was inclined to use a
little unnecessary roughness in his
play On many occasions he broke w
plays that looked good for a basket
His passing was the best that has been
seen here for some time, being true
and accurate, and seemingly always
to the right man.
