Hoffman, Matthews and others, Hoffman’s injuries, though not ser
ious, resulted in his leaving the game. Hie Detachment-F game v/as
also a hard but clean-fought affair, both teams putting out every
ounce of effort.
One of the amusing events of the series was whan Ford Butler,
guarding for Company F, got ahold of the ball under the S’ s basket.
Just as he was throwing the ball to his own forwards down the floor,
Lyons of the E* s knocked into his arm. The ball sailed out of the
battler’s hefty hands, back over his head and into the basket scor
ing two points for his opponents. Not since Captain Edwards dribbled
the ball the length of the floor last season and skillfully threw a
basket in the wrong goal, scoring for his opponents, has so comical
an incident occurred on the local flobtf.
Clarke* s bump on the head and a wrenched ankle interfered with
his playing considerably; while although 7ilson playe 1 his usual fast
game, the fact that the Cnpany F star has had no opportunity to
practice for several weeks caused him to miss many tries for the bas
ket. Company E fortunately had a scoring player in Lyons, who,back
at his old position as for.,ard, scored eight ^ield goals.
Snyder, of F, who has had little basketball experience, showed up
remarkably well when substituting for Chapman, especially in tip-offs.
Next- season he should pale a good Post Team material.
