Slew-art fumbled cojitimiallv, and even the heretofore sure-ahot Slocum had no aim on the basket. The best that the Spartan guards seemed able to do was to commit fotiN which Referee Ilinsmond never failed to call.

Soon the team which had entered nvn the floor but a few minutes before bubbling over with confidence was playing like the rankest sort of novices. Slocum Still a Wonder The "Braves" were saved from trailing the Carlisles in the openin period only by the clever floor work of Slocum, who was the real sensation aiter the nun got tinder way. "Sloke" was handicapped in his shooting, however, by a ery bad eve. which had been damaged by a fellow chib man's (inters in practice. In this damaged state, the Spartans' "Wonder Man' accounted for eieht of the fourteen points gamed by his team in the first half.

Meanwhile the Carlisles had no! been idle and had scored sijt points to Spartans' fourteen when the whistle blew ending the opening stanza. After the regular rest period, the teams lost no tune in renewing hos tilities. Gtnnbs replaced MaclonaliI on the Spartan team and their score soon went up to Jl. I he Varlisies at this stage started a rally and brought their score of six up to 13. Captain f'aners removed 1-orbes.

who was guarding poorly, and went into the melee himself in a last effort to stop the Washingtonians. Even Capcra' efforts were hopeless. Benny Hill Stars Carlisle presented a player in their right forward. Benny Hill, who seem-fnslr is not nsed to brine stopped. This boy made shots from all angles of the court in the second half and sometimes with the whole Spartan team clutching after him.

When the score reached with Spartan stil! leading, the Carlisle called "time out" and conversed at one end of the field. L'non renewing the game one of their players fouled and Wallace missed the free throw for Spartan. Taylor, the Carlisle captain, got hold of the ball and dribbled all the way down the field for a field goal, which made the score ill-19. The ball was brought to center and Slocum fouled, whereupon Hill got a free, throw for the basket which he missed. mixup following Hill's failure to tie the score with'a free throw, thts litt'e player again got the haM in mid court and cajed a goal which brought the crowd to its feet and put the Carlisles in the lead Mill soon repeated with another field goal, which, made the score i0 33 in fsvor of the Carlisles.

Cant. Capers cailrd a halt ami sub stituted Gittens for Stewart. Wallace shot a throw, which left the Itraves trailing by two points. In the time which followed, Slocum tied the score with a field goal after many others had failed. The timers' wh'Stte sounded shortly a'ter the tvma of the score.

Both teams' work was amateurish in this opening stana-a as the close score of 8-4 plainly Beni. Hill seemed unable to get going and Taylor, the Carlisle's captain, came nowhere near the basket. Arnold, who was in at center for the Carlisles, tried too much individual play for the team good. Even the second half was welt on its way before the visitors could show to advantage over the "Christians." Big Charlie Mock, who went in at guard for his team in the absence of the regular Christian lookout man, was holding his team together remarkably.

Soon after this success by the team. Tavlor. who had guarded won derfully for the leaders, was forced out of the game when he committed his fourth personal foul. Miller replaced Taylor but was not equal to the occasion. With ten minutes to be played.

Mock was next called out of the fray when he had committed a fourth personal. Mock showed a little agitation at Reftree Huisourd's decision but soon calmed himself and went to the sidel lines. Thence followed about the most disastrous ten minutes ever experienced by the "Christians." Without their leader, they seemed lost. Close passing was resorted to and the Carlisle players broke through this and scored at wiiK Benny Hill who himself at Manhattan Casino against Spartan Thanksgiving night, began playing to form and quickly overcame th "Christians" lead.

In the earlit-r days of basket ball, when Spartan was making efforts to gain a foothold on the ladder to fame, its supporters while not so numerous as they are today, were never accused of being bad sports. Some werr possibly too enthusiastic and lost their hard earned cash on the chances of Ross, the Ahlvots.
