A Real Thriller.
When (he game started it bore the
earmarks of a thriller. It was plain
to see that It was going to he a battle
from start to finish, and one of un
usual intprest :mrl Hint if wne not
going to be either team's victory until I ckenstock. rf
tho final gong sounded.
Marseilles First to Score.
Marseilles was first to score. Thp
teams hid only played about two min
utes when Referee Maxwell called a
personal foul on Goodman, Ottawa
wtcpttter. Osgood made the free throw.
However, shortly afterward a foul was
callenl on the Marseilles team and Ant
ram knotted the score. 1 and 1. by
making the throw. Then Van Hoore-
-"Ijeke, long, lanky center lor th" paper
city lads, sicored the first field goal
of the game, giving his team a two
point margin, The Ottawans seemed
to have taken a slump from then on
until the end of the first quart"!'.
When that period ended the score
stood "i to 1 in favor of Marseilles
During the second quarter both
teams played evenly. They fought
and fought hard for supremacy. Only
six points in all were scored during
that period, each team making three,
bringing the score to S and 4 at the
end cf the half in favor of Marseilles.
Knot Score in Third Frame.
Then came the third quarter, when
the Ottawans succeeded in knotting
the score. Coach Smith during th"
time between Halves gave his men a
severe talking to. and when they
started the second half the strong de
fense which they threw about the
Marseilles stars was very noticeable.
The red and white players scored
seven points during the third period,
while .Marseilles- was held to only
three. The score at the end of the
third quarter stood knotted at 11
points each and the two teams were
in for a real old battle during the last
frame, in which the winner would be
decided. Hefore the quarter ended
Marseilles had run their count up to
nine points, While the Ottawans were
held at five. Two free throws by Ant
Tarn and a sensational field goal by
Toad "arey brought the two teams
to even terms.
Exciting Finale.
M When the final period started fans
went wild with excitement, and mem
bers o! both teams displayed unueual i
anxiety, some a fear that they would
lose and others a determination that
--they would win. Smith's mer tight
ened their defense more thnn ever. A
personal foul was c alled on Ottawa.
"Oaood missed, however, and shortly
afterward a similar foul was called on
Marseilles. Antram also missing.
About that time, things began to get
interesting and the school gym was
tilled with continuous roaring and
chiering of the fans. Then another
foul was railed on Marseilles, and this
time Antram succeeded in caging the
their hopes of defeating Ottawa. How
ever, they will have another ehane
which will come in about two weeks,
when Smith will take his men to the
paper city for a return battle with
the Marseilles team. That game, due
tc the victory of the Ottawans list
night, should make the next combat
between the two teams a humdinger.
The score:
Ottawa.
