VANDERBILT WINS SECOND GAME FROM STATE QUINTET

Score 23 to 20 in One of the Hardest Fought Contest Seen Here

Game Ends in a Tie Is Played Overtime to Decide the Winner

The two basketball teams of State University both went down in defeat last night after battling in two games with foemen worthy of their steel. The Wildcats were humbled by the five from Vanderbilt University in one of the hardest fought and fastest games ever seen on a local basketball floor. The score was 23 to 20.

The girls' five, of State was beaten two point by the girls from the University of Louisville in an overtime game. The score at the close of the game was 10 to 10 and the time was extended until one side or the other scored two points. Miss Hoskins threw a most difficult goal after the teams had struggled without advantage for three minutes and the game was over.

The main attraction of the evening -- the Commodore-Wildcat contest -- was hardfought from the first blast of the referee's whistle, and not until time was called was the game won. With their defeat of the previous night rankling, five blue-jerseyed warriors trotted on the floor of the Auditorium last night determined to fight to the last and wrest from the Commodores their dreams of a southern championship. Their Wildcat spirit was up, but they were pitted against foemen who were also trained athletes and sons of Kentucky and Tennessee.

Team work was matched with team work. Any stage fright which the Wildcats may have suffered the previous night had disappeared. Vanderbilt scored first when Davidson threw a foul, but this was immediately followed by Hart tossing a field goal. Throughout the half the State forwards were everywhere on the floor, but Davidson and Cody, of the visitors, were also everywhere. Lighter men fought heavy men almost to a standstill.

The half ended with the score 9 to 7 in favor of Vanderbilt. During the period, Vanderbilt men were amazed that plays which they found so successful the night before failed. Continued calls of "Get together men. Play, play." were shouted by the Commodores, but the light but fighting Wildcats had held them to only a two point lead.

In the second half Vandy started with a rush and within a few minutes Cody had the ball in the goal. This was followed soon with another by Davidson and it seemed that Vandy was going to repeat her Friday performance and defeat State by superior team work. But State's spirit was not to be denied. Karl Zerfoss, Hart and Server fought for goals and made them. These three composed State's scoring machines. They were everywhere, but their old inability to locate the goal at critical moments cost them the game. Shot after shot failed, but then the Wildcats ran up a score of thirteen points in this half. George Zerfoss and Gumbert guarded with the skill of superior guards.

The second half developed into a replica of that of the previous night. Vandy gaining an advantage of one point and winning the game by three points.

During the second period Vanderbilt seemed to have developed an unnecessarily rough style of play. Seven fouls were called on the visitors in this quarter, while State was held but twice. Continued calls came from spectators demanding that more fouls be called on the Commodores. Cody was replaced at forward near the end of the second half by Tom Zerfoss and three brothers were again playing in the game, two of them pitted against the other.

Hart Leads Scoring

Derril Hart again led the scoring for the Wildcats, making a total of eight points by his shots at the basket. Server held his opponent Ryer scoreless, while he himself tossed three baskets. Captain K. Zerfoss scored four. For the Commodores Cody and Davidson were again the leaders of the scoring machine, making all the Commodores' points.

State's defeat was due in a measure to her inability to throw fouls. Each team scored nine field goals, but Hart threw but two fouls out of nine attempts. For Vanderbilt, Davidson threw five of seven fouls.
