At the beginning of play the Tooele five took the lead, which they held for a short period, being overcome by several sev-eral clever shots by Chipman, and from this time on the Red and Black players were never headed. The game was characterized char-acterized by the inability of both aggregations aggre-gations to locate the hoop consistently and the constant fouling of the fives in stopping the progress of the ball. Both sides were off color and the demonstration dem-onstration ' of teamwork was never up to standard, as the men had much difficulty diffi-culty In locating each other and appejed nervous on the floor. The brilliant star of the day was Lyv man Chipman, Leopard forward, who covered the floor In excellent fashion, scoring six field goals and six out of nine from the foul line for a total ji-18 ji-18 points. Glen Anderson alloweCy?!i3 man only one goal and kept him well covered up besides annexing a counter himself. Romney shot two baskets from the middle of the floor at the beginning of the second half, which brought the spectators to their feet. Staples and Harris were the high guns for the Smeltermen, both shooting three from the field and showing aggressiveness aggressive-ness at all times. One of staples's tallies tal-lies was nearly the length of the floor. As a result of this contest. Tooele and the East high are tied for second honors In section 2 of the Salt Lake division. The only hope for these teatiis to win out lay in the chances of the Ieopards to win over the West high next Friday, which will put the Panthers, East high and Tooele tied for first place. Interest is already at high pitch over the East-West game next week, as both fives have been playing fast ball of late and much hinges on the result of that battle. Lineup and summary: TOOELE (22).
