'The refreshing thing about the
game last night was the way the
game was handled. His Nibs Peter
son called everything worth calling
and nobody whimpered.
..
Another thing that markod the
game was the attendance rather the
lack of it. Enough money was taken
in to buy food for canary for a day.
It is distressing enough that the
townspeople dont attend but what of
the student body and the faculty?
Coach Reynolds' five-months' old
Everett could make more noise in a
minute than the handful of students
did in the whole game. What '3 the
use of players breaking their backs
to learn the game when their own
student body won't come out to see

Enterprise bumped against hard luck
in the first five seconds of play when the trick turned?

building after the game, his usefulness
as a player is gone for some time to

! sorely at Union and Cove for he is
j the cog that meshe3 With Ault at for-
want, and by the way, before we for
get it, that man Ault is some pump
jkin. He is rangy, fleet of .foot and
possesses an eye like an Indian at
shooting baskets. Ho was easily the
slar performer of the game. A total
of 22 points he won, about all that
Enterprise got. Enterprise's next
best bet was Steel, as short as Ault is
tall, but possessed of speed that
makes the other players on the floor

Steel were the only men playing ball

i they haven't learned to keep stenm
