H. S. Quintets Continue to Win (Continued from page one.) The boys showed improvement Friday in all fields except passing. The defense held the . White at bay most of the game and the Blue increased their accuracy percentage by sinking 16 out of 49 field goals and 6 out of 8 8 free throws. One free throw wasn’t added to the score, however, as LeCount had his foot over the line while the ball was in the .air which is illegal. At the Ligonier game, Syracuse made 8 out of 42 feld goals and 7 out of 13 free throws. The second team played championship ball in the first half of their tussle and then coasted ts a 22 to 16 victory over the only opponents they can seem to down. Although the Red and White didn’t have a strong offense, the Blues protection was excellent. They held the enemy to 2 points in the entire first half. Until the halfway mark in the second period, the visitors score was a “goose egg.” Before they scored, all of their few shots were inaccurate longs. The ponies with some good teamwork, tossed the ball through the hoop for 18 scores in the first two periods. Bell and O’Haver were the mainstays in this attack. A Syracuse team composed of freshmen and other subs spent most of the last half defending their basket and so scored but 2 baskets. Led by Strombeck, Webster garnered 14 tallies to make the final score 22 tor 16. For the first time this year, Coach Neff used substitutes in a first team game. Up to Friday’s tussle, only two subs had seen ation, naitely, Bell and Byrket. But Mr. Neff played the role of Santa Claus and presented Bell. Byrket, O’Haver and Disher, (the latter who wasn’t even on the second team until 3 weeks ago), with an opportunity to play in a part of the first team game. Byrket, who played the entire second half, did a good job, both offensively and defensively, and the other three played good ball also. The Yellow Jackets committed 12 fouls in the game which is the highest number this year except for the Bremen match. Then they erred 13 times. Altogether, 79 fouls have been chalked up against the Blue for an average of about 10 a game which is just about right in your correspondents viewpoint for an all-around team. Syracuse met a real test Wednesday in the form of a match with New Paris on their floor. Second Teams.

The boys proved equal to it, however, by winning over the fighting New Paris quintet, 45 to 50. HOLIDAY SPIRIT PREVAILS ON B. & O.
