.LUTHERANS BATTLE
 WAY BACK ID LEAD
Defeat South Church in Fastest
 Game Of League
Church League Standing

In what was by far the fastest game Of the league and one Of the spoediest played on any court dur inS tho present season. the First Lutheran team broke tho tie existing for first place in the lnter-Church league by nosing out the South Con gregational quintet. 1914, at the I. NJ. C. A. Saturday night. The two teams, which were dcadlockcd for top position, fought on almost even terms from start 10 finish and both played wonderful basketball. The Swedes, more experienced and far heavier. were forced for the first time 10 give all they had, but this proved enough 10 best the lighter South church five.
 Tor several minutes there was no scoring, and then Adams put the South church ahead with a field goal. The battle was evenly wagod. but with three minutes of the half remaining, Havlick gave the losers an S-5 lead with nice shot. Larson then broke away and scored two pointer and Hoist added a foul to tie it at S-s as the whistle blew.
 The South church started fast in the second period, Cooley shooting a field goal and following with pair of fouls. The Lutherans made their stand here, Hoist finally began to get loose, and the Swedes gradually fought back 10 even terms and push ed ahead to 1912. Nyborg's foul shooting proved an effective aid In this rally A long shot by Parker made 1t 1914, but it was vain, for the game ended shortly after.
 Both quintets put up almost i'm penctrable defenses, and scoring was at an absolute minimum. most field oals being of the long range va riety Hoist, held scoreless by i Cooley during the first haf was nevertheless the spark plug of the winning team and finally located the basket in the closing session. Oscar Larson was the Swedes offensive, star, caging one sensational over head goal. while Nyborg played his usual dashing game and did well from the foul line. Wilson's de- lensive play was strong. Cooley led the South church in scoring; the for wards played well but were closely guarded and had tough luck on their shots. Parker held Floden and Nyborg scoreless. The one had feature of this whirlwind encounter was the wretched foul shooting, either team being able to do any thing from the l5-foot strip. The l summary:
