 A fast, foul-filled second game in which the National Guard and the Jennings hoop squads fought tooth and nail in the last canto the Soldiers chalked up thelr sec ond win of the season by beating the clothing men 28 to 26 in a game that looked as if it would end in overtime play.
 The win for the Army puts them up another notch in the League standing, tied with Hen ning's for fifth place.
 The first game of the evening 5 doubleheader started with what looked like a game for the cellared Dc Molay and for the first quarter the lodge men kept pushing the Elks. But in the middle of the second frame the Elks took the lead to hold it until the final horn when the score stood g to 28 for the Elks.
 Crowd Was Nil
 Although the games merited a capacity house of several hundred, exactly "A basketball fans crowd ed the balcony and bleachers. Ex- penses for the lights burned during the two fast games were not cov- cred by the door recepts and there were more players and officials pres ent than fans. Apparently specta- trs are waiting for the tournament to start and are not supporting local ball.
 But so much for a plea which should never have to be entered. Byington, the lad who only too obviously could not stand on his own two feet for the full hour game, cleaved his way down the floor without falling down, to make long drive and battle with stall WarC Elk Moss before sinking to draw first blood for the DcMolay
 Slow at First

 The last two minutes of play showed more spark and fight than in the whole preceding game, which was highlighted by the incessant, raucous, side-linc coaching of Bud Don't call me Tubby) Brown wno was in the official role of time keeper.
 Garcia, who has been prophesied IS an up-apd-coming lad, began to warm up, ands Aggregated a to- tai Of eight points but the time was too short for the DeMolay to make much of a rally and the game ended with the Elks ahead 32 to 28.
 Second Game FOOler
 Jennings started out in the sec- ond game with an attack designed to push the Army right into the floor and have them walking about on their knees, but they reckoned without considering the determina- tion and fight of the Army men.
 Close checking and good ball handling by both teams marked the play for the first two frames with the clothing men keeping well ahead until the third canto when the Guardsmen took the lead with such a grasp that their opponents could not take it away. 1diosyn- cratic MaXie Lewis ran amok with the ball cn several. occasions. and shook his head and blinked his eyes in amaZement at his own shots out it was not enough to down the Soldiers
 Both Mclaughlin and Dalinsky ueually excellent scorers, made only six points apiece for the Guards while Kloss was up to form witf five field goals.
 The last few minutes of play put the clothing men again anc again within two shots of a win but the Soldiers always retaliateo with basket that took them some. what out of the danger zone anC when the final horn sounded tht Army was only one shot ahead O their opponents and the scoreboarc showed Guardsmen 28, Henning's 26
