BIG VICTORIES INSPIRE BOYS TO
TAKE ON HEAVY SCHEDULE
- INCLUDING AMERICAN ALL
STARS.

Last week the Redwood Guardsmen
played three consecutive games on
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
evenings. The first game was play
ed against the Green Isle sphereoid-
lists and ended with Redwood on the
neavy end of 30-15 count. The gang
came back true to form in this battle
and played the Irishmen off their feet
during the whole struggle. Early in
the first frame Hank Hoffert opened
up and sunk two counters which
Scotty promptly followed with a pair
of free throws and failed goal. The
Shamrocks seemed slightly discon-
certed over the disturbing frequency
with which the soldiers found the loop
and Karron did his best by replying
with single field basket. The effort
evidently was to much for him as he
promptly retired under the timekeep-
ers table and Young Murphy, the dim
inutive sub forward took his place
IN the front line trenches. Murphy
was four degrees faster than streak
of tightening and he covered the floor
like a fog. If the locals had had five
come might have been different, but
It probably would have been the same,
the way the cadets were travelling for
points. However, everyone who saw
the game will admit that Young Muir
ply fits into a basket ball team like
the skin on an olive and he is fitted
for bigger team than the one he is
supporting at this time. The quart
er presently ended and the Sham,
rocks had three point lead to over
come in the next three rounds.
The second term opened with Hank
and Polly Gaasch out of the game and
Runt and Hutch Bobzin as the life
of the party. Hutch went through
the Irish defense like Sherman Went
through Georgia and netted three
counters during the second chapter
Castle also threw field goal into the
general collection. The local quint
kept the ball on the move most of
the time and passed wide circles
around the Green Isle defense. Iii
fact, defense was the Irish watchwor1
all through the fracas but they could
mt seem to pull it tight enough to
bother the Guardsmen Comboy of
the Green Isle crew sunk one more
ieio goal before the half ended, witt.
the count 1915 against the visitors.
The third quarter started right off
with a loud bang when Castle looped
in a couple short shots to strengthen
the Company's lead. The Fighting
Irishmen came right back at them
with two field baskets and, as. the
street cleaner remarked, Business is
Picking up. Green Isle kept right
on coming and Young Murphy, the
infant prodigy, gave them another
deuce by finding the hoop from past
the center of the floor. This so
alarmed the soldiers that Castle
loosened up and kidded the score
keeper for another two points. BY
this time both aggregations were well
exhausted and everybody was think
ing that enough was enough Where
upon the third quarter ended.
The last episode was over almost
at once. Castle sunk both of his two
trys for free throws and Hank came
back into the game just in time to
ring up three short field goals. Two
more field goals by the Irishmen end
ed the scoring for the game and pre-
sently the final whistle ended the
