FIGHT FOR SECONDS
CITY TITK GROWS CLOSER
Deltas and Oaklands Furnish
Thrills in Second of Elin*
ination Games.
That the fight for the secondary
city basketball championship of the
city will prove interesting is the opin
ion of faus today who last night wit
nessed the second leg of the tourney
at the "Y" gymnasium. The follow
ingflscores resulted;
Institute 24, Array Y. M. C. A. 13;
Athenians 14; Boulevards I; Deltas
21,
Ixiuis Y. 11. C. 7.
The last two games furnished the
thrills of the evening. The Deltas
and Trurabulls played a fast snappy
game and the Deltas’ victory was in
doubt until the last flvo minutes ot
play.
The flt. Ixjuls Y. M. C. team were
away off last night both in shooting
and passing and while they bad their
best tnen in the lineup, they put up \
poor exhibition of basketball beside
s me of their other games this sea
son. The Oaklands played fast ball,
were sure on their passing and found
the net with accuracy.
The following schedule has been
arranged for the third elimination
trials:
Omicrons vs. Institute.
Riversides vs. Athenians. ,
Deltas \s. Immanuels.
"Y” Bines vs. Oaklands.
