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.
