SCORRER
The Lenoir Athletic Club was
given a .severe drubbing by the local
quintet on Saturday night, February
fourth. The game was featured by
fast, clean playing on the pai’t ol
both fives and the effervescent pep
of the fans.
The first quarter was a nip and
tuck affair throughout. Both teams
guarded closely to keep the score
down during this period. Bost and
H. Punches, starting their first game
as regulars, ran like eager young
pups with a pack of hounds.
During the second quartei- the 1
cals began to ring up baskets with
machine-like precision. Fuzz Ander

of high inspiration to all by the en
couraging reports from the College
Organized Department, the B. Y. P.
