    STATE, 12; CLOVER W.HrtuLmEN, 10.
jtiDGING from the size of the audience whose cheers greeted
our team and that of the Clover Wheelmen of Philadelphia
in the Armory on January x3th, the lapse of a year has in
creased, if anything, the enthusiasm of the students and faculty
in the game of basket ball. We regret, though, that, owing to
the fact that the visiting team, had been accustomed to playing
tinder a different code of rules than that used by our team, the
progress of the game was so often delayed by fouls. In spite of
this feature, the game was an exciting and interesting one from
Start to finish, especially because the score was at all times close.
Our team had one less field goal to its credit than the visitors had,
Mit Stevenson's excellent handling of the ball when attempting
to throw for goals from fouls more than made up this difference.
The honors of the ganie were divided between the two captains,
Stevenson and Fisher. Wilt also played a very good game for
the visitors. The line-tip was:—
