The Red Men with the old to the

Renaissance Big Five, world's cham-
nion "9er team, in the armory last
night, The visitors won, ill-20. The
'3‘an was played before a crowd of
600 f"ll-‘- 01" lamest, attendance of
the season. The colored boys gave
a wonderful exhibition‘of team work.
but. many fans were disappointed
that they did not roll up a bigger
score.
Manager Douglas of the Rennie.
sauce Five said that last night was
the first time that his players had
ever performed on a court with wire
hackboards. The backboards battled
the colored boys. Time and time
again they took easy backboard
shots only to find that the. ball went
dead and rolled away from the rim.
he iooso baskets also raised havoc
with the visitors. In fact. both teams
missed an unusual number of shots
during the contest. The colored boys
took twice. as many shots as the Red
Men and for that reason they seem-
ed t) be way oiY form,
Several fans remarked after the
game that they could not compare
the Renaissance team with the
Original Celtics. The colored boys
did not exert themselves and for that
reason they seemed to be for inferior
than what they were cracked up to
be.
The Visitors. began to score imme-
Vdiateiy after the game started. Jen-
kens made the first field goal after
loss than ten seconds of play had
elapsed. He took a pass from h'iail
who received. the tap from' center.
. Bill Court scored a foul point for the
Red M'en.but the colored boys had
better luck and scored'four field
‘goals' and a f0ul~ln rapid succos-f
sion.

, scoring of their own. Before the
, half ended Harry Clancy scored two
field ‘gdals as did George Smith.
Smith also added two fouls. The
1 score was 19-11 at the close of the
’ -iirst half.
The Red Mcn were‘half.scared to
death for a. while. They thought the
visitors would pile up the points and
a; e a runaway game of it. But,
It they found that they could stop

if they meet again the Indians should
