of Thrills' 1n Contest Against Holy Cross of
New Orleans
When Big George Smith cuts
loose, there are few basketball
players ill this section that can stop
him. Joe Lynch of the Holy Cross
Coin-glans was one that could not
stop Smith in the Armory last night
and for that reason the Red Men
were victorious, 40-33. "Big
George." following his great per-
formance last week when he scored
20 points. came through with an-
other splendid exhibition last night
and rolled up 2': points.
Last evening's game was one 0!
the best ever seen in the armory.
There was plenty of excitement and
