Especial to The Kennebec JournaD
Waterville, Mar. 1.-THE Alpha
Tau Omega fraternity basketball
team won the college championship
this afternoon in the play-oif in the
Colby Intermural Basketball League
in the Colby college gymnasium this
afternoon by defeating the NoA-fra.
ternity team 1927 in the last Ii
seconds OF the most exciting game
that has been seen this year on the
Colby court.
The game opened with the Men,
fraternity aggregation scoring after
the first minute of play. The Tau
team did not succeed in locating the
hoop until the very last of the mi
tial period and then only tossed in
one counter from the floor and one
foul shot. The Non-fraternity team
secured eight baskets, mostly
through pretty work by Chafetz, and
one foul. The score standing was
9-3 in the favor of the latter at the
end of the period. The second Pc
riod was much like the first with
the Tau men shooting little bet
ter but playing their man instead OF
the ball. Both teams fou.od re-
peatedly but failed to score on foul
shots. The Non-fraternity team was
again at the head OF the game az
the end of the half, leading Their
opponents AS
Both teams roughed up the game
|, in the third period ana tlcre was a
great deal of poor craftsmanship
shown on the part OF some of the
spectators in raZ2ing the referee and
players. The Non-fratcrnitv team
PLAYED a better game Of basketball
this period and again led by cjsAt
points at the end of the period. The
Tau men insisted in paying their
man and foulod considerably. The
last round was highly exciting with
both teams playing basketball TOR all
they were worth. The Tau team
staged a great comeback ana PLAYED
their opponents OF their feet until
with less than one minute 10 play.
Schmiedel twice Gagged the bah for
a tie score. In the midst OF the cv-
element Gt the stands. the Connect
cut lad again Dropped the winning
snot into the hoop from the center
of the floor with seven seconds IN
which TO play.
Both teams could easily be acCus-
ed of rough playing ana the lack OF
strict officiating was the cause ot
much trouble Tho stands several
times vented their diSapprolal Of Ia"
conduct of both the referee and the
two teams.
For the v.uncrs. Schmic1cl aud
o'Donnell played exceptionally good
ball. The Tau forward seemed to
he all over the floor during the
last period and his three shots won
the game for The Tau team. l'ascc
was the brilliant star IN tho Non.
fraternity lineup with his excellent
defense work. Chafctz and Mason
PLAYED n fine brand of basketball
with the latter making the Tau
men several times Iool; foolish IN
his wizard passing.
