 to find himself. but after his first basket, nothing could hold him down.
 Red Reynolds played a particu- larly nice game Saturday night and equalled Gerry's score In total points. Reynolds was getting them when the rest of tho team could not seem to find tho basket. Kilduff and Shce- han gave a great exhibition of guarding work while Taylor. though not counting so heavily in the SCOT ing, played a sweet floor game and counted some of the times.
 One man who the fans in this city will watch as he progresses through the various seasons, will Do Armurr. guard on the Legion team. Arburrs work all season long and especially in the city title series, was of high order and brands him as one of the best basketball guards in the city. He is untiring, can hang closely to a man and is g dead shot whenever he gets chance to ring one in.
 Probably the deciding point in Saturday nights game was the re- movai from the fray of Jack Pel- letter on personal fouls. Jack, thought by many to have had his day on the court, showed plenty of stuff during the three games and 1t far from done. His work Saturday night on the floor was especially brilliant and as was predicted for him. ha was the balancing wheel of the Legion team and the point on which many of their plays centered.
 When ho left the game, 1t seemed ,l'at the Legion team slowed up con- sic r1bly. But the team play ab- .olutely Hilted when Belser went out by the same route shortly after Pel- letter, These two are probably the strongest men on the team and with them out of the game, the Guards were able to get away for the run that gave them the victory in the laSt ten minutes of play.
 However tho game went, though the Guards won. the, battle vas well worth looking at and it closed sea- son that was filled with sensational court battles and well played games.

The E, &: F.. quintet won both contests by close scores and the Corllin quintet will be z extended 10 the limit to win tomor- row night.
