ALL STARS TAKE
FALL OUT OF T
HOOP QUINTET

Playing one of the finest PASSING
games seen this year at the Y. NJ
C. A. gymnasium. the All Star team.
composed of the best players in the
rest of the City Basketball League
| took the measure of the Y. NJ. c. A.
quintet, the pennent winners, by
score of % to 10 in post season
game, Thursday evening. The All
Stars played together as If they had
been playing as a team all the sea-
son.
The game was a hummer from
start to finish and was very closely
contested up to the opening OF the
last period. AS the third period
closed, in fact so close to the blow
ing of the whistle. that the specta-
tors were divided on the point, Benn
STARTED one for the basket. The
whistle for the end of the period
blew before it slid through the hoop,
but 1t was ruled that the ball was
in the air when the whistle blew
and the score was allowed. making
the score at that time. 10 all.
In the final period the All Stars
uncorked some especially brilliant
passing and shooting and melted five
from the floor. at the same TINA
smothering the ~" forwards SO
that they were unable to tally.
Charley Prime of the All Stars was
the big noise in the shooting end OF
the game. He netted the sphere six
times very prettily, and some of the
shots were from, q long distance.
Both Bcaudoin and Souic of the
same team got three, and one or two
of these were pretty ones from the
center of the floor. slipping through
the hoop without touching. Benn Of
the y. II. {. A. had hard time OF
il, getting but three baskets. He
was covered much of the time and
when he did get chance TO shoot
seemed to have lost his eye for the
basket.
A game between the HallowCll
High school girsl and a pickup team
representing the Augusta \. NJ. {. \.
resulted in a one sided score or II
TO five with the Hallowell girls on
the long end. While the game was
one sided, il was by no means dull.
Fuller. the Hallowell forward ac-
counted for Is of these points. She
PLAYED very hard every minute and
Followed up every short. so that in
case the ball did not go through she
was usually able to get another
chance. She was the mainstay Of
her team and the other members
all raised until they could get the
nil TO her. Jones of the Augusta
team got all of their points. Be-
cause of the fact that the Y. Nj. {. n
gym. is not lined off for girls
game, boys rules were played.
