TOWN BASKETBALL TEAM TRIMS
STANFORD --UNDEFEATED YEAR

Stanford came down to play = re-
turn basketball game with the unds-
feated Belt team and lost out by Z
38 to II score.
A good sized crowd attended tAe
game. sufficient to pay all expenses.
and il the crowd are not satisfied that
they got run for their money, they
have kept their opinions very careful
ly to themselves.
Fluhr has been under the weather
for some little time with an attack ck
jaundice and did not intend to plsy,
but when he scented the enemy COM
ing the lust of battle seized him and
he was at center throughout the whole
game. While not up to his usual form
and blanked in the first half, yet he
came back stronger in the second
frame and Gagged the ball twice.
The short swift passing Of the Belt
team, the speed of Gossack, Pattsner
and Huber on the floor, and the
stonewall defense Of Gillette with the
ring generalship Of Fluhr made too
strong a combination for the visitors
who in general were compelled to
shoot from the foul line or beyond.
The Stanford team played good ball
but they simply were not fast enough.
