 The game, considered by many spectators the fastest of the league, was exceptionally hard fought. both teams showing pretty passwork but nullifying each others offesiNe by we'll nigh impregnable guardinG All baskets were scored from heated scrimnage in sensational fashion. Adams was again the high scorer of the night with four field goals and three fouls, but he blew seven other free tries, Cooley's work in the closing period was the deciding fac tor in the game, while HaVlick came through with two pretty long goals. Woodruff and Parker got only bas- ket apiece but were into almost every play. The Braddon brothers working beautifully together and with pcming Hewitt rounding out a nice trio, made q formidable attack .and dropped in many hard shots, while II. Anderson played q whale of a game at guard, Usually accu- rate on fouls, the whole team was off in this respect and made but one out of l 0 tries.
