ANYBODY’S PENNANT IN 3ASXET3ALL SERIES; COMPANY E LOOSES TO DETACHMENTS
The defeat of Company E* 9 basket tossers last Monday evening by
the Detachments’ quintette puts the pennant again very much in the melee.

ner the pennant. If Company F wins both
games, as is not improbable from the way
they have come up during the last week,
there will be & three-cornered tie.

and Bruh of Company E and Pnillips of the Detachments, for playing the
kind of brenuous but clean basketball which their team-mates would have
done well to have imitated. Several other players, through inexperience
in basketball under present rules, committed fouls although apparently
