bOtkndkcFs SrCht IchHlWOfk
 In the Lockmakers' and +. game the winners played like well piled machine and every man was in his proper place at practically the right instant, thus it is hard to pick an individual star as each sacrificed Individuality for teampay, but the fast floor work of Preisser was evil dent, while the clever guarding of Iankaskas and Nyborg offset the rallies tried by their rivals. Carraz- "a as usual, was a tower of strength on the offensc and Phil Walther too, did some neat work. "Chief" Lar son was the scoring ace. Luke and MorelIi were the best bets for the losers.
 Too Much Gehrkowski
 There was too much Gehrkowski for Landers in the game with Fafnir. The elongated former High school star jumped center for the Bearing men and jumped it perfectly. On the offense he was whiz and &C., counted for five baskets from the field and then, to clinch victory, he shot seven out of nine free tries. Anderson also played a great game, getting five from tho floor and Weir, who later in the game became act ing captain, set fast pace at guard and also contributed four from the floor. Captain Luke of the flanders team was great in defeat. As fine as has been his playing in other games in which his team won, last night he was greater in defeat. He played a fast, aggressive game, kept his head in the pinches and although repeatedly fouled. he did not be. come unduly excited. He got lG oI his teams points, 10 of them beins from the floor. Bucherri was a fiasf during the time he was in and con tributed four field goals. From tht opening whistle the game was { rough one, with both sides playing their hardest. Paulson, the Tafni' captain was elected for rough pla! land Landers lost three men via th' game route. Klatka went out or four fouls Duke McCabe followed him and toward the close of th' game Billy Preisser had his thirt personal called and, the referee judging his roughness was too often sive, ordered him from the floor This left Landers with but four mel and Captain Weir then sent Stohl t' the sidelines that the two team might he on an even basis.
