HAMMOND HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL that team work could not be indulged in on either side to any great extent. At nearly all times when the ball was tossed by the referee, holding was done by the Rockets. Never-the-less, after two unin- spiring halves and a hard fought game, the score ended with the tune of six to three in favor of H. H. S. Following was the line-up. H. H. S.

The Chips were sure of the game and decided that they would add another victory, and that an easy one, to their record. The game started very fast but many fouls delayed it. The first half ended with the score 10-13 in Brier links favor. The second half was interesting on account of the close guarding by both sides. As the whistle closed the last half the score stood 22-22. Brier Hill Chips were very determined that the tie should be played off, so the game was again started.
