TN the presence of a larger audience than had ever before as- SemblCd iii the Armory to wittiells a b.sket ball contest, State defeated Bficknell on Jan. 28 by a score of. r 7 to 6, (ides not follow from the Wide difference in the score that the teams were poorly matched, but on the contrary, every movement made by one of the teams Was contested by the other. , The game was an lively and interesting one from the time when the referee first put the ball in play until the timekeeper's whistle sounded at the end of the second half. Both teams adhered strictly to the new rules and clearly demonstrated the fact that they make a far prettier game than the game of past years. In team work, 13ucknell out. , classed State, the passing of the ball being accomplished with re markable precision. On the other hand, State far surpassed Bucknell in throwing goals. Buckhout had phenomenal success in caging the ball. The members of State's team, without ex ception, played excellently. Stevenson, by an almost superhuman effort, played during the latter part of the first half and all of the second after having had one eye painfully injured. This did not prevent his playing as well as usual, nor did it prevent him from throwing goals from a majority of the fouls made by Bucknell. For Bucknell, Bell and Blliott played exceptionally well. Two goals thrown by Weymouth, one from a foul and the other from the field, were forfeited, the former on account of his having crossed the foul line while the ball was yet in the air, and the latter because he threw the ball from out of bounds.
