In these two games there we1'e no individual stars on the Normal team, because it was just a question of who could get the ball near enough to the basket to throw it in. Campbell played the best game for the visitors. Roth of the games were well attended. The score of the first night's game was 59 to 13 and that of the second game 57 to 14.
