STATE FALLS BEFORE THE WESLEYAN TEAM
Blue and White Defeat In Winchester By the Score of 25 to 19
WINCHESTER, Ky., Jan. 27 -- The largest number of people who have seen a basketball in Winchester this year saw Kentucky Wesleyan defeat the State University of Kentucky tonight in the Auditorium, 25 to 19. The battle was about the hardest and fastest that ever took place here, but there was no ill feeling displayed by either team.
Few fouls were committed and the team work of both aggregations was the feature, no spectacular work being done by any player in particular.
Game Writeup - The Idea
STUNG AGAIN!
Old man "Inability to throw baskets," and poor refereeing lost State's second collegiate game 23-19. Last Friday our boys left the gym building at 5:30 in two powerful automobiles for Winchester where they met and lost to the Kentucky Wesleyan five not because of inferior playing, but because the referee was a man who, had been coaching a girls' team and who insisted on playing girls' rules. State's men showed vast improvement in team work and all around playing but time after time just after a basket had been thrown or a man was unguarded under the basket ready to throw one the referee's whistle would sound invariably, not counting the goal and allowing Wesleyan a free throw for the goal. Is it to be wondered at the result. When they threw eleven of these ? It was more of a contest of overcoming Wesleyan's fouls than anything else. At the end of the first period the score stood 17-11 in Wesleyan's favor but our men came back strong in the last half and ran the score up to 20-17 until a few minutes before the end of play, when Wesleyan added three more points to our two. If the authorities at Winchester insist on treating opposing teams this way, it is only a question of time when they won't be able to play any teams in Kentucky. Harrison and Hart starred for State while Hendrix excelled for Wesleyan. Next Saturday State lines up against the fast quintet from Bethany and a close game is expected. This is the last game we play before leaving on the Northern trip, which begins February 9.
The following men made the trip: Hart, Marx, Harrison, Campbell, Preston, Gaiser, Redd, Beatty, Farmer.
