This humiliation wasn’t enough so Lebanon walloped P the first team 45 to 14.Lebanon proved to be the fastest team that has ever been seen on the local floor. The local hoys do not feel chagrined over their defeat, but admit that the better team won. The game was fast and clean and the ability displayed by the up-state boys has never been equaled here before. It was worth the price of admittance to watch the teamwork and basket shooting of the visitors. The excellence of the work of the Lebanon boys probably is due to their coaching. The present coach of the Purdue basketball team has been coaching Lebanon until this year. Their team work was unexcelled and their basket throwing was far superior to anything seen here before. The locals put up a strong defense but were simply outclassed and admit it.D. White, captain, and G.
