 Straight; Reserves Also Win

-
 The Boys club speedsters con tinued their victorious rush last night by taking the A. l.. A. into camp, 29-l9, in rough game at the club. The Lithuanians gave the club team big scare in the early part of the game, but the winners soon found themselves and carried the battle into their opponents ter- ritory for the rest of the way.
 The contest was marked by much physical contact, which worked to the advantage of the heavier A. L. A. players. but the club youngsters fought gamely and took their pun ishment unflinchingly. although 1t was apparent that they could have done much better had they stucl, to their passing game and not tried to mix 1t up.
 Both teams were on edge and played fast basketball from whistle to whistle. Urged on by large and rabid cheering sections, they fought furiously for every point and scored one sensational shot after another. The most spectacular basket of the game was made by Jasper, who starred for the A. L. A. and led both teams in scoring. He took the ball off the blackboard and, while run- hing away. heaved 1t over his head and clean through the hoop. He was the main cog in the A. L. A. offense and defense. Hoist having an | off night and Kamenicky showing little. Yankaskas and Sake put up good defense, but the latter tired and had to be replaced.
 The Boys club scoring triplets, Pete Kerelejza, Ray Anderson and Mickey Luke, divided scoring honors with four baskets apiece, the first two getting a foul for good measure. Many of these shots were nice one- handed f1ips, bats, or long heaves. Arburr and Nyborg put up their usual fine defense, while Nibby fur nished plenty of comedy by his good nature after spill.
 The A. l.. A. started off quickly and sturdily. After several minutes of play, Kamenicky found the hoop. Jasper fouled Nyborg and Nibby got point. Jasper then dropped in field goal and Kamenicky followed suit, making it 6-1. Kerelejza toss- ed goal and was pushed as he did so. The basket counted and Pete made good one of his tries from the foul line. Hoist lectured Referee Avery and received a technical foul. He then made it S-4 with basket. Ray blew two foul tries and Hoist made good on one. With the score 9-4, the club braced. Ray sent home a foul and followed up with one handed flip from the corner, bring 1 ing the score to 9-7 at the quarter. Luke tied the score at 9-9 with a long shot in the second period. Jas per here injected his wonderful backward toss, but Kerelejza, after missing two free tries, followed the last one up and evened >the count again. He shot one from the side an instant later and the club was in front to stay, while his fourth basket came a few seconds before i the whistle and made the count 15- II. AS the whistle blew, Hoist de- liberately pushed Luke, but the club captain failed to count.
 Two baskets by Luke started the third quarter. Jaspor came through but Luke went right back to count on a pretty bat shot from mix-up. | Jasper tossed a foul and it was 2l- IA. Kerelejza did some pretty work in taking the ball away from Sake; he passed to Ray, and the latter scored. Jasper opened the final ses- sion with a field goal, but Luke put the club points to the good again. Knapp replaced Kamenicky, Jasper scored again and Anderson made a neat long one. Saxe retired, Hoist dropping back and giving way 10 Tuttles at center. Nyborg, who had the fans with him because of his fine exhibition Of sportsmanship, tore up the floor and shot while still going at full sped. Hoist ended the scoring with free shot when Ar burr charged him.
 The club then put on an exhibition of passing which completely bewild- cred the Lithuanian defense. Up and down thA floor went the ball, and the A. L. A. could only main- tain a dogged defense. The score:
