CENTRAL
WINS BASKET BALL CHAMPIONSHIP BY TAKING GAME FROM STATE
Central University won the championship game of basket ball from State University in one of the fastest games ever witnessed on a local floor. The score which was 26 to 20, was in favor of State until the last three minutes of the play when Hess threw three field goals and State was unable to gain first place again.
State opened the game with a rush and kept the lead until the close of the first half when the score stood 13 to 13. 21 fouls were called on State and 13 on Central. During the game one point was awarded to each team. Plummer for State had the best goal fouls. He threw nine out of twelve attempts, while Mason threw seven out of eighteen trials.
The game was witnessed by a very large crowd. Central brought a number of ardent supporters with her team.
Friday's victory gives the championship to Central who has won five of the six games she has played this season. State has won three of the five games played and has one game yet to play with Georgetown College.
