bus basket ball team proved to be
easy for the fast Eastern Nor
mal FIVE when the locals defeat
ed them by a score of "a to II at
the Madison Hi gymnasium Mon
day night. Paris K. c. took the
lead at the start OF the contest
but 1t was soon overcome by the
great work of Eastern. A pass
was shot 20 Burnett. Paris cap
tain and star guard, shortly after
the first whistle blew. He drib-
bled under the goal. shooting it..
which gave Paris the lead. In
the next few minutes of play
Eastern MAGE several field goals
in succession. giving them a safe
lead. The score at the end OF
the first half was Is to 4 in favor
of Eastern.
The second half was much fast
er than the first. both teams
scoring more points in that half
than in the first. In the first half
Clark, Byrd, and Stephenson each
made two field goals but in the
second Byrd succeeded i'll caging
six field goals while the other
two Eastern scorers made two

shots. He covered the floor with
much speed. passing the ball with

distances. he scored more than
half of his points. The two-arm
shot from the shoulder helped
him very much in getting rid OF

work that aided Eastern greatly.
lie was there with the goods at
all stages OF the game. His shots
included some pretty long ones.
when passing was impossible.
His guarding was also 4 feature.
Stephenson, at center. succeed
ed in getting the tip of on the
Paris opponents nine-tenths OF
the time which made the Eastern
signals run with more regularity
than against Wesleyan. He came
in for his share of the floor work.
Stephenson also followed up his
shots well. Besides passing well
he scored eight points as the re-
suit of four field goals.
The only shift in the Eastern
lineup during the game was
when Coach Hembree removed
Hall i'm favor OF Mainous at the
close of the first half. Both of
these men who were the running
mates of Combs at guard played
rue to form. Combs has been
he victim of a sprained ankle
since Friday and it was doubtful
until the last minute whether he
would be able to play or not.
When the time rolled around he
was feeling as good as ever and
played throughout the contest.
His work was of the highest class !!
IN spite of the bad ankle he was
forced to guard against another
injury. Time after time he leaped
nigh into the air for a Paris pass
and came down with the majority
Of times. He with Hall the first
lali, and Mainous the second half
permitted the PARIS pass to pen
.trate their defense but few
lines. Mainous' floor work could
hardly be improved upon while
that of Hall was OF the same
class.
For Paris X. p. Tucker and
Burnett scored six points each.
Neither succeeded iii throwing i
field goal in several attempts.
Burnett got two of his three
goals from the middle OF the
floor. He was fine shot from
that position and would have got-i
ten more had not it been for the
fine work of the Eastern guards.
Tucker covered the floor with
much speed aud all his goals were
beautifully executed. The line !
