Each team displayed some real basket ball playing, and it was only when the final whistle blew that anyone could tell who the victors would be. High Point started the scoring ing the first minute of the game. From this moment the ball was kept whizzing from one end of the court to the other, the score being tied for much of the time. At the half the score stood 16 to 16. The second half was just a repe tition of the first. Each team was fighting its very hardest to win. At no time was either team more than two points ahead, but when the last whistle blew, it was found that Germantown was leading by two points. Fay was the outstanding star for the visitors. It was by her quick footwork and accuracy In finding the basket that the visiting team took the game. The whole High Point team played an exceptionally good game. Hamil was the star forward, making 18 of the team’s points. All three of the guards played a wide-awake game.
