to finish Neither team was quick to
score, but settled down to hard de-
fensive game. Gertie Dwyer was the
star of this game caging seven field
goals and one free throw for Is points
for the Lucky Strikes. Keller of the
visitors held Alta Ballard down to Z

ing of Evelyn Postle, Alice Dwyer and

the locals defense. Williams was the
point getter for the visitors, scoring

The last game, between the soldiers
and Commercial Point five, produced
the most thrills Co. was first to
score but the visitors soon tied it up
and from this point it was see-saw
battle, first one team being in the lead

the soldiers out in front by the score
of 16 to IA. At the start of the last
half the visitors Immediately tied the
score and then took the lead again
which they held up to the start of the
last quarter. But in the last quarter
the soldiers started their last-quarter
rally which has won them many
games. AT this point Co. c started an
attack that had the visitors completely
baffled. Tim Alexander sank two long
shots, while Bill Scott time after time
would bring the crowd to its feet by
dribbling through the whole CONNER
cial Point team, making some of the
most brilliant shots ever made on the
local floor. This lad was the outstand-
ing star of the evening and scored 20
points for his team. Guy Alexander,
Bill Scott's running mate, played a
bang-up game and picked up points
for himself Paul Lafferty, regular
soldier center, was absent due to i'll
ness, but Lawrence Kimble took his
place and played his position we'll.
Kimble is also pushing Lafferty hard
for his position. John Emmons, sol
der guard, showed his mettle by hold
ing down the fastest man on the Wis
itors' team. Beatty played best for
the visitors, scoring points for his
team.
