Lowell H. S. Given Severe Drubbing by Soldiers.

The light but scrappy Lowell team met defeat at the hands of ■' e basket tossing fiends of Co. M o yesterday afternoon at the armory by the onesided score of 75 to 16. The Lowellites were slipped the K. O. in the first few minutes of the battle and from that time on they were never in the game. Kirk hooped the first one after about two minutes of play and Putts followed with another and then Clark came through with three more before the Lowell lads scored. The superior weight and height of the militiamen were the reasons that the northehders were never in the game, but they will probably hold their own with any high school teams that they meet. The game was free from fouls, but two being called on Lowell and four on Co. M. The first half ended with 33 to 9. Roy reployed Morgan at the beginning of the second half, but the scoring went on just the same. The Lowell lads were a fast, clean, gentlemanly bunch of players, but were simply outclassed.
