BY THE RED AND WHITE IN BRILLIANT CONTEST -1 Uncorking a whirlwind offense in

the last few minutes of play, the Richmond high school forged ahead of the Knightstown representatives and annexed the opening basketball game of their season 24 to 16. The playing of the local team was a surprise to its followers, and the predictions, made during the weeks . of training which preceded the game, that the high team would be small but fast, was clearly demonstrated. Team work was specially in evidence and every man on the squad played a hard game. Coach Null made no substitutions and his judgment was backed up by the rally of the team at the close. Each Man Valuable. - To pick an individual star would be

impossiDie, eata man ia.King ui his job in a creditable fashion. Green, at back guard, kept the Knightstown lads shooting at long distance which explains their low score. Five minutes before the close of the game the score stood 18 to 16 in Richmond's favor. Harkins came through with two well timed shots and Loehr contributed one. Loehr made his big hit of the night by dropping all his four goals through from long range. Amiek Scores First. Amick chalked up one goal in the opening half to start the ball rolling, and after that he was a marked man being covered most of the time. His size was a little against him, but he scrapped it out. Rost covered the floor in good fashion his inexperince showing at times, but he bids fair to prove a valuable man before the close of the season. Cox, Knightstown floor guard, and Holland, center, showed up best for the visitors. The Knightstown boys showed good coaching and played a good game. They were not able to work tho ball by the Richmond defense for scores. Prospects Good. Prospects for a good team at the high school picked up with the game. Although not exceptionally good in their passes, if the men stick to training and are able to set as dizzy a pace in future games as in Friday's encounter, they should be able to make a good record during the season now undcrwav.
