Weaver put his team within 2 points of V. E. S. Chatham tied the score with a long shot only to have the home team make a spurt. Barber made good on both of his free tries, and V. E. S. started to "freeze" the ball. Sam Lee caged one and Weeks came through with a foul to put V. E. S. in the lead with a 5-point mar- gin. Then Woodberry started play- ing some good basket-ball. Alexander followed up his free shot for two points, and J ack Weaver sent a long one through the mesh. Then Alex- ander scored the deciding points. V. E. S. fought their hardest with but forty seconds of play left, but were unsuccessful.
