Company M Defeated in Brilliant Scrap by High School

Co. M wept down to defeat Hot the second, straight time before the onslaught of the school lads at the armory last night. The game was fast and rough from the start and became so rough at qne stage of the game that the school team was unable to stand the gaff and left the floor, but finally returned after a few minutes of squabbling, and from then on a cleaner, faster game was played. The students took the lead early on two free throws and followed this up with several field goals until they totaled 13, while the soldier boys had a white alley. Clark then scored a foul for-the militiamen and soon followed with a field goal. Putts followed with another and then Clark came back with one more, bringing their total to 7. The half ended with the school team on top, 14 to 7 Shortly after the gong rang for the second half the soldier lads hooped another field goal, bringing their total to 9. At this stage of gam ethe school boys left the floor on account of unnecessary roughness. The militiamen appeared to have found where they had their Anigoras pastured. A few minutes later they returned to the floor and the militiamen quickly assumed the aggressive and two field goals followed, leaving them trailing by an ace, 14 to 13. Eigelsbach and Healey again took the students out of the danger zone with a field goal apiece and Eigelsbach followed with, a foul, totaling 19 for the visitors. The militiamen then got busy and by a great spurt managed to tie the game in a knot at 19, bringing the crowd to their feet. Be scnooT team foTged to the front with a foul goal and two field baskets. Kirk scored for the militiamen. Eigelsbach followed with another foul for the school, giving them a four point advantage which they maintained until the finish. As the final gong rang the scoreboard showed a 25 chalked up for the high school lads and 21 opposite the soldiers.
