The second post-season game be- tween the all-stars and high school resulted Tuesday evening in a dec!-, sive victory for the school aggrega tion, the score ending in their favor iS-O. From the first toss-up the high school lads were the favorites for the victory, showing such ginger in pulling off their well-developed plays that for the moment the all- stars were swept off their feet, and had several points marked against them. However, the high school boys were weak at converting their plays Into the pointa they should I have had, and the veterans had soon pulled up to within striking distance by speedily worked plays and accur ate basket throwing. Trimble, the gigantic all-star center so far over topped his opponent that he was practically sure of the toss, but the speed and ingenuity of the younger basket tossers made this work Into their plan of campaign, and by pret ty team work took the ball under their own basket. This offensive work on the part of the high school quintet is their strongest depart ment, although it Is' very hard to break their defense in making bas kets, Bixby and Teel showing up at their best iu thia fast, hard play ing. Faubion and Smith bad all they could do taking care of each other, although Smith broke away long enough to add several points to the high school score. Douglas, the all star speed marvel seemed to be ev ery where at once and nipped many plays and attempts almost before his oppouents realized what they were doing, and made some very pretty plays. The contest was fast and hard from start to finish and at times re tie ui bled a "free fox all" rather than a game, but all that added to the n Joymeju of the spectator, who cer tainly mere well paid tor attending last night. The gym. was very well filled but a still larger crowd -is ex pected for the third and deciding game which will probably he played early next werit. The high achiutl line-up was: Smith, Stlnehaugh, forwards; Gale Hamilton, Bixby, guards; Teel, cen ter. The all-stars: l.auner, Doug laB, forwards; Martin, Faubion. guards; Trimble, center. The preliminary game Jot even ing was a contest between the Jun iors .of the combined Methodist and Pjte6by.ter.laji clubs, .and the com bined Christian and Baptist juniors, the AlethodJet-Preahytorian quintet winning by a score of 16-12.
