-,rf-wr'-Y 4 sv-Wy -, ---v--1-f. Un Saturday, lfebruary 15, the VVorcester Trade School beat us in a Close hard-fought game by a score of I8--13. St. Georgelg was foiieed to .play with an incomplete team as de Sibeur was sick anal, though his substitute played well, his absence was felt throughout the game. A On February 26 St. George's won a brilliant victory over the Second Regiment team from the Training Station, beating them .80---39. lt was a hard, well-played flilllwi especially when'the visitors put in a professional in the last half, but our shooting ability won us the game by a large margin. The following Satur- day, lllarch 1, we won a game from the Galahad Club of New- port. This time the best playing on the part of the visitors came in the first half, but in the second period we, forged ahead and won 5-lf-17. ' ' On bfiarch 5, before the largest crowd that has ever attended a game here, St. Georgels defeated Regex-is High School in one of the fastest and most exciting games ever seen in Auchinelosg Gymnasium. Rogers brought out a large following of girls and boys and the cheers of these, combined with our own, kept the game going at top speed. From start to finish there was hardly a moment's pause, the floor work and shooting of both teams being remarkable. At the end of the first half the score stood I8 to l-l in our favor and Rogers refused to allow us to increase this lead. In fact several times during the last half of the game the score was tied, but our forwards always brought us ahead until at the end the score was 32 to 28 in our favor. N Three days later, on March 8, we played a return game with Rogers on their own floor, the last game of our long season. Great interest was taken in this game by both schools and the night of the contest the large gymnasium was packed with basketball enthu- siasts. The game' was as hard and as 'fast as the one before, and, though our team put up an extremely fine game, we went down to defeat I6 to 9. The floor was verb' Stfillwie to us, beiI1LE lined on each side by rows of spectators, and the baskets were quite a little higher than those we were accustomed to using. ln spite of this there were several bursts of brilliilllf Plilving by both sides and often it seemed that St. George's would make a winning rally, but there was comparatively little scoring as both tives spent most of their energies subduing dangerous opponents. This closed a long and most successful season in basketball. The few defeats we -suffered were either at more experienced teams or when we were team on 'the Hoor. The final summary shows that we outscored our opponents no way were our defeats discreditable to member of the team played hard, clean entire season, one of the best seasons St. ' 9 Y .IQ an 1 !P', v !
