If the local boys expect to make any Impression on that formidable agftrossion in their second clash . Conceding that the Club team did more than waa erxpectod In the last match with the E!g Five, February 7, dortlng the game with only a margin in the rear, the facts remain that the Chicago team made their initial visit here short handed. It will be a different story, because Watson. Priscoll and the entire r-ular lineup aro borkd for this ga.me. Some fans might say. "What's the difference Watson. Drlscoll, or whoever he fcs bring 'era oft." But here Is food for thought. Sport statistics show that In every game where the regular lineup of the Chicago Big Five hai parilclpat-vd. whether meeting the tr,rns 1" the country, they a. ways com hr.m - wltli the biron.

N. E. COMETS RECEIVE

SETBACK FROM E. C. DODGERS

BY LARRY GEORGE. Vslnp a smooth, well-oiled pisslns style of piay the East Chicago Dodgers pegged a 22 to 36 win over the heavier Hammond N". E. Comets last Thursday night. February 23, 1522, at the Irvins school gymnasium. Duffy, Whalen and Williams were the chief pointgetters for the Dodger and the guarding of Curllnovich and Conroy. was the best these two men have done this season. Drahurt and Willing cornered the scoring honors for the Comets. These two sharks would have scored oftener than they did had it not been for the five-man, follow-up defense that the Dodgers clamped on them when they had piled up a comfortable lead. In the preliminary argument the Dodger lights crashed their way thru the heavy Comets' seconds' stonewall of beef and height for all to 7 slambang victory. Duffy and Frlberger of the Dodgers divided the sparse coring between them. Polock, fast Dodger floor guard, was too much for tbo Comets to handle. Coach Pat McSh.me was highly pleased with the smooth teamwork thoCIRCLES BEAT BOYS' CLUB SPECIAL TO THF TIMCS! WHITING, lad..
