|FORDS DEFEATED
FOR FIRST Time
Bucks and DodgS Come
Through in Yoney Ball League

The Bucks handed the Fords their
first defeat last night in the bust
nessmen's volley ball league at the
Y. NJ. C. A. but not without strug-
gle for the Bucks won the series by
only a single point. The first game
was walk away for the Bucks who
won the match Is to out-placing
and spil1ing the Fords at every angle
of the game. The Fords somehow
could not get started owing to the
fact that everybody on. the team
wanted to be captain.
However the Fords IN the second
game put on speed and sailed right
away from the Bucks giving them
taste of their own medicine VIM
ming Is to 7.
The last game was filled with ac-
ton, the Bucks taking the lead and
holding it until the score stood IA
to 10 in their favor. Not only did
they fight hard physically to win the
deciding match but there were verbal
combats as well. Every man ron both
ttdillS dlltiilIttu " lcltiStJ anu
score at the same time. There were
many questionable decisions that
Henry Dressed efficiently handled
but the players did not think so un-
til Henry declared II am the referee
and what l do or do not see matters
not, so long as I blow the whistle.
The third game went to a tie, at 1 4
all, under the well placed shots OF
Van Open of the Fords. Then the
Bucks ran up the necessary points
to win Is to IA.
The question as to the outstanding
player of the match between the
Bucks and the Fords was handed tc
the captain of the Fords who un-
questionably played every position
but his own. Only one mistake was
credited 10 him. He should not have
played at all.
Dodgcs Win
The second match between the
Dodges and the Hudsons was won
by the Dodges easily. The CONNER
cial street gang was there last night
winning three straight. However
Bert Loomis has two new men on
his team in the persons of Erickson
and King Tut, not the king who has
been dead 5000 years but a real hon.
est to goodness live wire when he
gets his sense of direction and finds
out what it is all about. These two
men will strengthen up Bert's team
in the second round of play and will
undoubtedly win one or two games.
The reason the Dodges We're 50
strong last night was because all the
players played in their bare feet to
show their opponents how really
tough they were. Nolley ball has
been played for nearly thirty years
but this is the first time in its history
when a team trotted on the floor
minus gum-shoes.
AS all the members on the Hudson
team We're suffering with head colds
the parade of pedal eXtremities failed
to make an impression or even knock
them dizzy.
