Co. M Defeated at the Armory Friday Evening.

The Co.. M basketball jossers went down to defeat before the St. Joe quintette last night in the opening game of the season. The game was a fast, hard-fought battle all the way and was marred by a great deal of rough work. The superior condition and teamwork of St. Joe were the reasons for the victory. The locals with more practice and better conditions should be able to defeat the college lads handily, showing much more natural ability than their rivals. When the final gong rang the score Sheet showed 28 to 19 in favor of the red and purple. Not until the last few minutes of play did the St. Joecrcw pull away from the soldier lads. Deery led in the scoring for St. Joe and Clark for the locals. A return game will be played later at the college. The lineup and summary follow: Co. M.—dark, Morgan, Kirk, Putts, Nowels. St. Joe—Schall, Shellenberger, Deery, Monihan, Mattingly. Field Goals—Deery 4. Schall 3, Shellenberger 3, Monihan 1, Clark 5, Putts 1, Kirk 1. Free throws, Schall 6 out of 10, Clark 5 out of 7. Referee Fitzgerald. Umpire E. Duvall.
