The Three Horsemen, with their
venerable father Gus Manthey,
onetime star athlete and not yet
disabled, waving his haf and cheer
ing for them from the bleachers,
ably assisted by Otto Sandbeck and
Ed Sandbeck, out ran the Wasmuth
Sea Horses last night in the cage
tilt at Dreamland Auditorium and j
chalked up a score of 22-13 in
favor of the Seward Ponies.
The game, a flash of action, was
going slowly but surely to the i
Navy’s score board until Cook
i Wasmuth) unintentionally passed
the ball to Iron Horse, on the op
posing team, who stood directly
beneath the basket and was un
guarded. With plenty of time and
accurate aim he tossed the ball
thru the hoop turning the tide
of battle in favor of the Ponies
This play, which evened them with
the Blue Jackets’ previous advan
tage, instilled addi^iorisftl courage
and ambition into the hearts of
the Broncos and from then on
they strove to shut out Drake’s
speed ball five. Referee Groth call
ed them close and missed nothing
•and it was a clean fought game.
FIRST QUARTER
» With the agility of panthers both
teams went into action as the
whistle released them to their sec
ond encounter of the season.
Drake, with one of Lis stai players
on the sick list, fought with forti
tude to win back for the Naivy

to Wasmuth, and there was a mis
take for which Ray got a free
throw but missed.

Johnson, the basket-making gen
ius for the Wasmuth. the ball went
from him towards the basket but

Iron Horse for a free throw and he j
made it good, which was followed J
by Ray’s attempt with a free,
throw- Johnson got the ball from '

Johnson making good a free throw
for the Bluejackets. Starting from
center, the ball passed to Iron

The Army again last nite vig
erously yanked the chin whiskers
of the Navy’s angora when the
mules brought smashing defeat to
the Perry Sea Horses in the second
game at the Dreamland Auditor
ium. The mariners dug deep into
their sea-chests for scores but the
soldiers gave them a five-man de
fense which they could not break
down and marched away with
largest score margin of the season,
20 to 6.
Before the game started one of
the army players informed the
press that hte mule was with them
and in first class kicking condition.
His prophesy held true thru the
first half which ended with a total
shutout for the Perry. The game
w'as reminescent of machine gun
fire as the ball wizzed up and down
the court time after time.
The first goal was made by the
army center, Turner, who proved
the star player thruout the game.
Elbert Kunz, local songster
and composer, refereed this
game and, after someone scout
ed up rubber soled shoes for
him, which he donned display
ing a pair of passionate colored
socks much to the delight of the
interested spectators. Bue he
called them close and fair, in
spite cf his asthentic sense.
During the first quarter Capt
tain L. L. Hunter, of the U. S. S.
Wasmuth, on the sidelines,
came in for some fast catching.
The first quarter favored the
Army with a score of 7 to 0.
Van Druff started the second
quarter by missing a perfect
chance for a basket. The sol
diers took the ball and made
better use of it. The game went
into the enemy’s quarter fast
and hot. Mr. Flickinger again
came into the play when he was
tackled low and nearly knocked
into the ladies dressing room
by Sharrett, husky Perry guard.
Stansfield was saved on the
count of three by the whistle af
ter Turner had K. O’d him. End
ing the half still stood a shut
out for the Navy. Score 9 to 0.
Haddad went in for Ring
strom and Noble, an excellent
player, went in for Hawkins in
the second half. Turner made a
good one as a starter and num
ber 4, for the Army made anoth
er. Time was called for the Ar
my and when the ball went in
to play again Van Druff proved
the hero of the evening and
made the first field goal for the
Perry. It looked like revenge
when the Perry Seahorses took
the bit in their teeth after Van
Druff’s play and fought for
blood and scores. Van made
another good one and the quar
ter ended 15 to 4 favor Army.
Peyton, injured, was replaced
by Griffen in the first of the
fourth quarter. Number 4 again
made good, the soldiers got one
point on a free throw. Ringstrom
fell with a bad jolt on the hip
but came back gamely. High
smith made another for the Per
ry. The Perry five seemed to be
just catching their stride as the
whistle sounded and the game

Well, you folks won the games
last night, but we hope you noticed
who won the dance! Note the girl
friend: We are not that selfish,
just be true to the boys in blue.
We’re looking for the dirty bum
who turned on the lights at the
wrong time last night at the dance,
also we’ll get the horse thief who
stole our girl. Miss Allen, may we
have the first, second and third
dances tonight? We will ask for
the others while dancing. If Miss
Allen turns us down, who will vol
unteer?
The Sports Reporter wouldn't
have socked you with the club,
Moro, but says he’s glad you didn’t
know that.
We note with pleasure that you
ladies are taking advantage of our
offer to give you our receipts. Now
we would like to know' how you
keep looking so young. Acker and
Duguid, on the Perry, are scrapping
about age and if we could re
juvenate them the battle would
cease.
"Doc”-, on Wasmuth, was
kicked by a mule, both doing nice
ly.
Headlines for game last night:

Ah Ha! You handsome intie
tow-head, we’ve got the dirt on
you! Come coco now. Like the
wiley octopus’legs, our eyes extend
all over town. Little birds, and
even little worms and insects, tell
us things. We also have the dirt
on the little dark-haired char
mer.
We have a secret from which the
dankness of the dungeon comes,
‘tis so deep and eboned. None other
than the best cook in these parts
has shown the S. R. the results of
her handiwork and even now cer
tain big gluttens may be eating It
and here we stand, or rather sit,
with not a crumb of it to smear
over our face- But joy of joys and
the plural of Eureka! We are get
ting our jam today and we know
we will get our chicken leg to naw
on soon.

D. E. Price is the fond foster
parent of a handsome porcupine.
We noticed him wet-nursing it this
morning just forward of the after
deck house.
Lady whose lip stick is in our
possession may have same by
designating place to meet her, or
leave same. We don’t need it now
as our youthful blush returned this
morning.
What Ho! And another nautical
expression of interrogation. What’s
this we hear from the Sports Re
porter about your mistaking him
for us. If we had a face like that
we’d rather someone else stood be

Hot off the wire! Our (we hope
to come back with you) kind
hearted mayor contemplates tak
ing a gang of Blue Jacket sports
men out to his hunting lodge Sun
day. They will take two cars, Mrs.
Mayor driving one and Mr. Mayor
driving the other, filled up with
mariners and spend Sunday out
among the bears, bunnies and big
timbers.
We got the dope straight from
the Wasmuth’s carpenter and we
call it darn good of Mayor and
Mrs. McMullen. But you bozos are
not getting away with everything
someone has offered to tajce ns
snipe hunting Saturday night.
