Caps Defeat EImira,
.1O5-91, as Slaughter
Stages Comeback
By Bill Fuchs

Jim Slaughter, who almost was
kicked off the team for loafing
last week, was a 6-foot-11 mass of
energy last night as he helped
the Caps to beat Elmira, 1851,
at Uline Arena.
While small gathering of 765
fans watched, the former South
Carolina University star played his
best game Of the season, scoring
1S points and utilizing his height
under the boards.
Accused of being out Of shape
and loafing last week while the
Caps were losing three out of
three games on the road, Slaugh-
ter persuaded Coach Chick Reiser
to give him another chance.
Caps Score 18th. Win.
Slaughter was joined by Ken
Murray and Dick Schnittker in
leading the Caps to their 18th
American Basketball League vic
tory against six losses. Schnitt-
ker and Murray. both of whom
missed the all-losing road trip,
accounted for almost half the
Caps total, Schnittker with 2s
points and Murray with 26. Alex
Athas and Don Savage each
scored 19 points to lead Elmira.
The Caps broke the game open
in the third period. Slaughter,
with 10 points, and Schnittker
with II. led the scoring in that
period, which ended with Wash
Iington leading, 1910.
Caps Take 17-Point Lead.
Carl Braun opened the final
period with his first goal, Slaugh-
ter put in four more points and
Schnittker two, to put the Caps
II points in front.
Hertzberg, who made eight of
nine fouls, scored Washington's
last seven points and was given
a big cheer when he dropped in
two fouls to put the Caps over the
100 mark.
The game was marred some
what by the endless whistle toot-
ing Of the two officials, Riley Pit
koff and Phil Weller, who called
II fouls, 38 against Washington
and 33 against Elmira.

Ohio States Vic Janowicz, Michi-

tons Dick Kazmaier blended their
talents today to give the East a
spectacular 1914 triumph over
the West in the annual Shrine

A capacity crowd of more than
$4,000, sitting through a thrill-a-
encounter, saw the 9th
contest in the East-West series.

Shrine's Hospital for Crippled
Children.
The East scored a field, goal in
the first period, a touchdown in
the second and another in the
third. The West scored in the
third and fourth periods.
West Outplayed.
The field was muddy and slip
perry, but the Eastern collegians
combined thrilling performances
from start to finish to outplay
their heavier rivals most of the
way.
Janowicz, kicking a 32-yard field
goal, put the East into lead that
was never relinquished. The hard
hitting fullback from the Mid
west was the workhorse of the
day, tearing off chunks of yardage
when needed.
Janowicz also scored the third
period touchdown. He was voted
the games outstanding player by
press box sports writer's and will
receive the William M. Coffman
award.
Dorow and two-time All-Amer-
