yVesssss Sys sssesee~~v,

The games in the Dusty league last night both were good ones, we'll played and vigorously fought from whistle to whistle.
 The Landers outfit enjoys the dis tlnction of having played three games without one man being elected via the four foul route.
 Last night they came close to 1t however, for McCabe. Preisser and Luke each needed but ono more to be chased to the showers.
 Last night 1t was close race be- tween Duke" McCabe of Landers and "Al" Schade of the Stanley Works to see whe would miss the most shots.
 Both tried long shots repeatedly and while Mccabe got three baskets to "Al's" two. 1t must be admitted that Duke" took about three addi- tional shots.
 Those who watched the game realize that both players shot almost every time they got hold of the ball. While Paul LaHar managed to get but a single basket last night, this is accounted for by two reasons. First, young Paris guarded him very closely; secondly Paut player a fine passing game and worked well with his mates, sacrificing shots to team work. N.
 The first half of the Corbin-s. w.. game saw the Corbln boys hopeless ly. R seemed, outclassed. Their pass work was bad and their shooting worse. But in the second half, what a difference!
 Jasper now Is piloting the Corbin team since the resignation of Cap tain Wilson.
 The Stanley Works, without So- kora and Grobstein, offered new lineup last night too. Jack Pelletier jumped center and did a neat job of it, too.
 The report that Warner Johnson has retired and hung up his shoes must be wrong, for Warner was out there in person last night, shoes suit and everything.
 Hoist, Coach Ginbergs latest ad- dItion to his P. 6; F. outfit, was the ace kid last night. He fits in we'll with the team, is good team work CT and a bear on breaking up oppo- sition assaults.
 Chick" Hayes referees the game alone, as Preisser can tell Prelsser tried to advise Chick" last night You keep still' was the officials polite way of saying shut up
