ST. JOSEPH’S DEFEATS Y. M. P. O.

Racing along at neck-breaking speed from start to finish with the score only a few points apart at any during the fray, St. Joseph’s college nosed out the Lafayette Y. M. P. C. in an extremely exciting contest by a basket’s margin, 36-24. The college five took the lead at the start when Curl caged the first goal and was soon followed by Cox. Lafayette was held scoreless for some time until the rangy Kallmeyer succeeded in dropping one in, opening an attack which looked dangerous for the purple and red quintette. The first half ended with St. Joseph leading, 22-12. 1 Lafayette fought desperately hard in the second half to outclass its smaller opponents, but the speed and, shooting ability of the locals was tod much for the visitors, forcing Rlchs* men to bow in defeat when the fluM gun sounded, 36-34. •• 3
