DOUBLE-HEADER
ATTHE MOOSE
Moose hall was crowded with spec
tators last evening to witness the big
double-header game of basketball be
tween the Moose and Ft. Liscum first
teams and the Moose and Fort Lis
cum second teams. Both games were
hotly contested from the first toss-up
of the ball, and for two hours the
spectators were treated to a magnifi-1
cent exhibition of ball playing.
| In the first half the Moose team
|outplayed their antagonists at every
'point; but in the second half the
Fort Liscum team returned the com
pliments, and gave a pretty exhibition
of team work. The ball was in their
territory the greater part of the time
and baskets were piled up with great
frequency. The game ended with the
Moose team winner 37 to 30.
In the game between the second
Moose team and the Fort Liscum
second team, some good snappy work
was exhibited at times. The boys
from the Post played a fine game but
were outclassed by their opponents,
who had received more practice, and
the game ended 43 to 21 in favor of
the Moose team.
The line of the teams was as fol
