the Y. M. C. A. Juniors eked out
an 1915 win over the High School
Junior Varsity on the Y hardwood

The high school quint got off
a walk-away as they piled up z
points before the Y boys were able
to tally. However, their attack
begged down and the Triangles
gardually drew up to lead by 81

point they led all the way in spite
of a determined rally late in the
fourth period which narrowed the
margin to a single point. The win
ners played well defensively but
missed too many shots of the

boys also put up a stiff defensive
game but could not solve the Y
defense. The contest was unusually
rough, is fouls being called, eleven

Owensby, Y center and Oliphant,
elusive Junior Varsity forward, tied
for scoring honors with eight points
each. Johnson's floor game stood
