ST. JOE LOSER IN HOT OVERTIME GAME

The St. Viator college quintette of Kankakee, Hl., met the St. Joseph college five on the local court Saturday evening with the result that the home five was defeated in a heart-breaking, five “minute overtime exhibition by the margin of one field goal, the score reading 24 to 22 in favor ,of the Sucker five. St Joseph lost a golden opportunity to win the game in the final moment of play by the foul route, but the Red and Purple marksman failed and the gun found the teams knotted at 20 all.
