ColleEians Lose Exciting Game.
Pennsylvania State Forestry Acad-
envy. Of Mont Alto. Pa, sent her lads
to Shepherdstown last Thursday night
10 engage our Collegian team in the
winter sport of basketball. They came
with determination and went back with
the victory, 80 to q. The game was
much closer than the score would indf-
cate. The visitors were the first to
draw blood, when Lott, their star CEN
ter, dropped one in from the center of
the floor. From then until near the
close Of the first half the home team led
10 10 r. With but a few seconds left
to play, the visitors tied the count and
the whistle blew with the score 10 all
The second half opened up with the
visitors caging two straight goals. The
local aggregation frightened up and held
the game within a baskets reach until
the last five minutes of play, when
a sudden burst of speed the visitors
ran the count up to 81. Legge for the
home team shot pretty one with two
men guarding him and then Banks
did the same stunt, and il looked as il
the home boys were due for victory,
Knott was out of the game and Myers
took his place the second half. He
still showed plenty of speed and his
opposing forward only could shoot one
goal.
The noted Keyser Collegian quint
was in town Tuesday night in the per-
sons Of Parrish, Gibson, Slocum, Mont
gomery and Schaffer. The local man
agement booked this game for the sole
purpose Of showing the local fans
what real basketball aggregation
looks like. II is needless to say any
thing Of the work of the local outfit,
with the possible exception Of Mckee,
who Gagged eight baskets during the
contest. The visitors are all star play
ers, each and every one of them having
played his allotted time on uni
versity team, or others equally as good.
The game opened with the above named
Mr.. Parrish dropping the ball through
the net with succession Of rapid pass
ing. 1t will be well to note here that
this same Parrish, center, never shoots
the ball into the basket, but drops il
gently to its final resting place; the
reason thereof being that he is head
and shoulders above all on the floor.
He counted twelve times for his team
by this method, while the Messrs. Glib
son and Shaffer scored eighteen and
fifteen baskets respectively. Slocum
was little off in his shooting and
only made six. This was without a
doubt the cleanest game that has ever
been played in Shepherdstown, with the
best team in all this part Of the country
as an opponent. They are worthy OF
the name that they hold, recently
having defeatd the aggregation repre-.
