PAGES TEAM TO.
FINE VICTORY.

Two very good games OF basket
ball kept the spectators excited
Saturday night in the Fraternity
League contests at the st. Antoine
~" IN the first game Nacirema
continued its undefeated streak by
shellacking Kappa. 10 to rs. In the
second game the hard-fighting
Sigmas bowed before the mighty
power of Omega by count Of
1927. The games were well on
ciated. and the usual roughness
found in such games was eliminated.
With its victory over Kappa,
Nacirema is now within two games
OF the league championship. In
their game Saturday. the smooth
and precision-like team play was
the result Of q serious interest in
doing a job right. Though LaVerne
Smith was the high scorer with IL
points, the great play Of Street,
Horne. Van Buren,. Stewart, Butler,
Talbert and Proctor cannot be
overlooked. The good passing and
the ability to keep the attack going
will make them a mighty tough foe
in their next two games.
Both Played Well
Again. Kappa lost. but to a worthy
foe. Van Hargis tailed ten points
to pace his team. Walter Simpson
and Hewitt Williams. who usually
do a lot OF scoring. were held in
check by the strong Nacirema de-
tense. Together they were able to
score only ten points. Nacirema
and Kappa had 20 free throws each,
and each team made eight Of them
count.
In the second game. Omega
turned on the heat and edged out
a victory over the strong Sigma
quintet by the score of 1927. With
sure-shot like Fletcher. they
might have fed him the ball more
often. However someone had to do
the feeding and Fletcher did it well.
Lee. Broadnax. Dean, Paul and Bill
Stonestree, Mhoon and Murray
gave a good account Of themselves.
Lee was the leading scorer with
nine points.
Omega seemed TO come TO life
again in this game and showed
some Of its old form. The return
Of Bryant to the lineup may have
contributed much to the teams new
life. Although he left the game
early by the foul route, he gave a
very creditable performance while
he was in there. Harris. F. and j
Hill. Evans and Long were in there
fghting all the way. Sigma scored
7 out OF Ia free throws while Omega
scored only out of Is. League

Bike TheftS
Result of
CareleSSmeSS

Commenting on the theft this
week of five bicycles in Mount
Clemens, Police Chief Arthur !.
Rosso today warned wheel own
ers TO take more precaution
where and how they park their
bicycles.
OF the five stolen, three were
recovered up till now. Still miss
ing are wheels owned by Byron
Corby, of 95 Riverside Drive,
and Donald Berkey, of Selfridge
Field Homes.
Most bicycle thefts are main
ly the fault of their owners, "
Rosso declared, land could cas-
lily be prevented.
The wheels are left outside
theatres, schools, and such places
not locked up. even though the
ycles are equipped with
chains and locking devices. II
owners would take little more
time. and be more careful to Sc
cure their bikes, it would save
them and the city police much
time and worry.
when left lying loose, the
bicycles are picked up by some
boy. who rides it around for the
rest of the day, and then aban-
dons it in some field or out OF
the way place. All this petty
thicvery could be stopped with
bit of precaution," the police
chief concluded.
