COMPANY E WINS INTRA-POST BASKETBALL SERIES:
In what was generally considered the best basketball gune of the
series, Company E defeated the Detachment quintette Saturday afternoon,
13 to 7, winning theintra-post pennant*
Both teams were working at top speed, although the Detachments
were minus the sergices of Staff Sgt* Solar, who was suffering with Hmt
was believed to be an attack of appendicitus* Jimmy Stidham, who sub
stituted for him, played an excellent game, however, and the Detachments
never appeared stronger than in this deciding contest.
Both teams played decidedly clean games, contrasting moat favor
ably with the former game between these outfits and showing that sports
manship is not lacking among soldier athletes; The work of Corporal
Wilson and Private ^avine as officials was excefctionally good. Both be
ing players and wise to all tricks of the game, they passed up nothing
in the way of foul-.s (although there were few of these ' committed.)
