CADETS WIN

DEFEAT COLISEUMS 29 TO 28

Fast Basket Ball Game at State College Taken from Louisville Team by Local Boys

In a whirlwind finish, the State College Cadets Saturday night defeated the Louisville Coliseum Club at basketball. The game was generally conceded to be the best exhibition of basketball skill that has been seen here this season. The final score was 29 to 28.

At the opening of the contest, the Cadets by a series of brilliant plays by Downing, took the lead. The plucky Coliseum team soon settled down to work, and by lightning-like quickness succeeded in raising their score to 18 at the end of the first half while the Cadets had scored only twelve. In the early part of the second half, the Cadets began adding to their score until it stood 16 to 18 for Coliseum. The Louisville boys then made a desperate effort and by the time State had reached 18, Coliseum had scored 28. This rally by the Louisville boys seemed to be only a spurt, however, for the superior endurance of the Cadets then began to show. They kept at their constant pace until they succeeded in raising their score to 29 without allowing Coliseum to budge from their 28 mark.

In a few moments time was called and the crowd broke forth in cheers for both the victors and the vanquished. The game was noticeably free from foul plays and all the contestants seemed to realize that they were in for a struggle for existence, in which the fittest were to survive.

For Coliseum, Lehman, center and Arthur, right guard, played somewhat the best game. For State, it would be hard to say who won first honors. Their team work was almost perfect but they found some difficulty in locating the basket. The work of Wilson at right guard was probably the most noticeable part of State's work.
