Perhaps it was an off night for the girls, though. All teams have them.But. at that, none of the approximately 350 people who gathered at the Y. ,\l. C. A. gym'strol asked for their money back. The rega game was a novelty and from i had that standpoint it was quite sue- j day. cessful in providing entertainment for the folks, no matter what it lacked when viewed as a basket ha II spectacle. The fans enjoyed seeing the girls rough up the ”Y” boys, and ; xhoi they certainly did a neat Job of j hors that.U mutual RaletThe gaiue whs piuyed under some ruther peculiar rules, or ut least they were odd to the Washington basketball fans. Alter a held ball the players were permitted to hit the hall on the way up, which rather took the ”Y team by surprise, for they couldn't get used to it. And tlu-rules permitted more in the way of what in high school or college circles would be called rough play than is usually seenhereabouts.The girls took full advantage of all these rules that operated lu their favor. Referee Williams, of iowa. always gallaut audiWlul courteous in bis treatment ofj. the ladies. didn't call many fouls ou the All-Stars and the Washington team were very gentle, so that only two fouls w«re called on the home boys during the evening.Itals-llc lu StarBoclhorsde||WingsonPiexpewithAlICl15unt is.oshipeleciBariVice
