Throughout the contest, Loffler .and Smith for V. E. S., and French for S. M. A. were the outstanding
players.

The quarter started off with much passing, but little shooting. After about four minutes off play, E. H. S. fouled Loffler in .the act of shooting. The "Cabbage King'' sunk both shots. A minute later he sunk a field goal from a difficult angle, the ball finally falling in the basket after
