 publin> Slaughter Arrows
 The Dublin guards V wrought haN oc with the Arrows. accounting for 8 points. and the Dublins raced away 10 53-6 victory which just missed being a shutout. Lyman Wiehn scored ten baskets and foul goal and "Snorky" O'Brian, the other Dublin guard. got nine field goals to as suage his feelings after his long search for scoring honors in the h. dustrial league. Wiehn started right in with three baskets in row and then O'Brien made a like number At the quarter the score was l4-o and the winners made it G--o dur ing the second period. Only five points were scored in the third ses sion, and again these were all mad by the Dublns.
 A shutout was ayerted. howey or early in the last period. With the score 39-o. Josapavich, Arrow cen. ter, let the ball fly from three quarters Of the floors length and i went cleanly into the hoop, mucf 10 the surprise Of himself and every one else. The Arrows had beer scoreless for 26 minutes Of play After O'Brien had scored again De fancy made two more for the losers
 The Dublin scoring sTas peculia' in that the forwards did so little of it and the guards so much. Yet since the Arrow forwards did no' score. 1t can hardly be said tha: Wiehn and O Brien deserted their posts. The game was too one-sided to be Of anything except comedy interest. The summary:
