Bad Night Plus Good Opponent Equal IWU DefeatThe U. S. Army landed atMemorial gym in the form of the*Chanute field basketball squad Friday night, Jan. 18, and pulled a marine trick. They took the situation well in hand. At the half, the fiyers led 22 to 7, and kept hitting to win 55-36.Chanute displayed a cool bunch of bucketmen that handled themselves in a lacadaisical but efficient manner. The flyers were content with taking long shots— Forward Alexander tallied 18 points from the field, mostly longs, to lead the Army scoring.Wesleyan seemed to be having a bad night. The Green and White players were not up to their capabilities. This, coupled with the fact that Chanute is far from a school team, spelled the Titan defeat.Still there was a bright spot in the Titan camp—that being lanky Hank Bennett who hit ten markers before fouling out. It was the first time Hank had ever left a game via that route—high school included.
