1852 Watch Caps
Drench Waterloo
BY 1913 Count
By Bill Fuchs

Tall, angular Bones Mckinney
started the Washington Caps roll
ing in the first period last night
at Uline Arena and when the local
club halted at the final whistle the
visiting Waterloo Hawks had been
drenched, 1913.
Only 1882 fans turned out to
see the National Basketball Asso-
citation contest, which found the
Caps climbing past the century
scoring mark for the first time
this season.
But the biggest thrill Of all In
the one-sided affair came In the
first period, when Bones, who has
been having a touch time getting
started this year. plunked ii i've
field goals and three fouls to lead
Washington to a 1926 advantage.
Best of Season Here.
OF Washington's first nine
points. Mckinney made eight on
two lay-ups, a long two-hander
and a jump shot. He made IL
field goal attempts all night, and
completed six of them, retiring
from the arena with II points, his
best performance here this season.
Jack Nichols picked up where
Mckinney left off in the second
quarter and with his one-handed
push-up shot working amazingly
we'll. led the Caps to a 54-42 half
time advantage.
Nichols scored nine straight
points that period and added 10
more in the final to gain high in
dividual honors with a total OF 10.
The Hawks, who have won only
IL OF 80 games, actually made a
game of it-for one period. With
Harry Boykoff, the former st.
Johns of Brooklyn ace, plunking
in some beautiful hook shots, the
visitors got off to a 1916 lead. Nc
Kinney scored the Caps first six
points. Here. however, the Caps
scored eight straight points, with
Fred Scolari, Bones, Chick Hal
bert and Dicks O'Keefe all getting
in the act. Waterloo never re-
gained control.
| OF the Caps 101 points, they
scored only 10 in the third period
They made more points in each
OF the first and final periods than
In the second and third combined
IA for Scolari.
Waterloo had a couple of hot
shots in, Dick Mehen and Don
Bowen. each of whom scored Ia
points. while Boykof made IL and
Leos osKubiak II.
Scolari dumped in IA points for
Washington, while Gilmur tailed
IL. all in the final period, which
saw Washington outscore the visi-
tors, 81 to 27.
With / minute and 20 seconds
to go, and the Caps leading, o.
IN, the fans began yelling for six
more points. Gilmur made it 95
on a foul shot and John (Hook)
Dillon hooked one over his head
for 81. With 40 seconds to &c
Nichols scored a charity toss for
98 and at the 20-second mark
put in another for SO. Gilmur was
fouled with 10 seconds remaining
and missed his shot to the accom-
paniment of $500 groans, but Dill
! lon tapped one in and everybody
out Waterloo and its supporters
was happy.
The Caps, who have won Is and
lost II this season, will take on
the Chicago Stays Tuesday night
