ST. JOE TAKES EASY ONE FROM WHITING FIVE

The St. Cyril basket ball five of Whiting proved no match for the St. Joseph five at the college gymnasium last night and were defeated by the overwhelming score of 49 to 12, the collegians scoring almost at will. Whiting’s wild attempts at finding the basket from long range proved ineffective against the well oiled team work of the Red and Purple. The visitors resorted almost entirely to this style of play which accounts for their low score. Half time found the collegians leading 28 to 1. The visitors seemed lost on the spacious college court, and their every movement indicated that they were accustomed to a much smaller floor where teamwork was not so essential and Where baskets could be made from any part of the court with great regularity. The second stanza was a repetition of the first, with the visitors making substitutions in a frantic effort to stop the Red and Purple basket shower. Schaefer, of St. Joseph, was the leading point getter of the evening and rarely failed to drop the leather through the hoop when given an open shot. O’Brien, also played stellar ball. The Indiana Dentals will be at the college court Saturday afternoon, and Worth McCarthy, Rensselaer boy, will be found at the back guard position for the toothpullers. The Dentals defeated the home five in Indianapolis early in the season.
