Detroit U. Upset St. Joe In Sunday Basketball Game

' Despite the fact that they had met Chicago University, Rose Poly and Indiana University in successive nights, the Detroit University basketball squad had but little trouble in disposing of the St. Joseph’s quintette Sunday afternoon. Tfie University men were worn out by their long, tiresome trip and during the first half displayed but little of their real brand of the game, and at the end of the first period were leading only by four points. Curtains found the visitors leading by a count of 64 to 24. The men of Coach Campbell, refreshed by their short rest, went in-’ to the 2nd stanza, showing the kind of basketball of which they are capaable of playing. Their team work was superb, their passing sure and deadly and their basket shooting a revelation. Time after time the Detroiters sank the ball in the net from long range. During this period the local collegians were able to score only eight points, and were helpless before the whirlwind attack of the Mic ilgi n five. Rynolds sparked for the visitors with fourteen basket's, while the work of Lause featured for St. Joseph.
