It was the City’s night all the way
through. Both Captainess Policy and
Captain Veach marshalled their teams
to victory on the basketball court at
the expense of the Commission and the
14th. The young ladies of the City
defeated the Commission Graces 8 to
2, while the regular City quintet
came out of 40 minutes’ rough playing
with the 14th with the long end of a
26 to 17 score.
Many of the fans stayed at home to
put the last finishing touches on their
St. Valentine costumes, but the 200
enthusiastic spectators who witnessed,
last night’s matches were well repaid
by seeing the most exciting double
header of the season.
The rooting last night was good
and real, genuine, whole souled en
thusiasm was displayed, nor were the
City rooters so sadly in the minority
as at former games. Last night’s play
would have brought a croak from a
dummy, for the play was fast and fur
ious and both games were fraught
with great team work and emphasized
by star individual playing that kept
the spectators keyed up to the proper
pitch of excitement and interest.
There was no particular evidence
of change in costume as the young la
dies made their debut for practice; the
change in personal appearance, how
ever, was more apparent at the close
of the game, but the difference was
becoming.
Dick Leahy impartially called the
fouls and otherwise kept peace in the
family. The first half ended in the
City’s favor, 3 to 0. This was due
entirely to the unerring aim of Buryi
Polley, who has forever proven the
fallacy of the statement that woman
kind has no aim in life. And she ac
complished the end with such appar
| ent sang froid and just as though she
had spent the best part of her young
life in nonchalantly winning basket
ball games by scoring baskets from
the foul line. Fouls played the im
portant part in this half, for neither
team scored a field basket. Five fouls
were credited to both teams, but the
Commission failed to realize on their j
opportunity.
In the second half it was different j
and Captain Lockhart scored two from [
the foul line and closed the scoring for t
her team.
The second half proved that the 20
minutes’ rest had done the work and
both teams started off with a ven
geance. Lockhart scored one and mis
sed one free try. Buryi Polley by
great checking insisted that Parks
should not score tonight. Byles miss
ed good chance to score, as did Rog
ers who played a splendid game at
guard. Commission missed several
golden opportunities and were playing
hard to score. Recovering the ball in
the center of the court Albertson, al
ways cool, calm and collected, passed
to Buryi Polley who shot the first
field basket of the game. Byles, not
to be outdone, recovered after a de
lightfully interesting and rather com
ical scrimmage in which all of the
players participated and every figure
of Euelid’s famous problem was grace
fully displayed and shot the longest
basket of the game. Buryi Polley
scored again from the foul line. The
Commission girls showed class for a
minute and carried the ball to their
basket with a possible score in sight
only to have their hopes shattered by
the clever blocking of Opportune
Walsh. This gave the City girls their
chance to show a partial degree of
team work which they did. Recover
ing the ball at the extreme south end
of the court Walsh passed to Albert
son, who in turn passed to Byles who
passed to Captain Polley. The play
took the ball to the north end with a
splendid chance to score, but they
reckoned without the guarding ability
of a Fitzgerald who successfully
blocked the play. After a few inef
fectual attempts by both teams to
advance the ball the second and last
