| | | ) DOUGLAS FIREMEN PLAY FAST GAME, DEFEAT SUBPORT PAA Shows New Life fo Beat Signacs-Latter Needs Practice ) Douglas Firemen, with a winning score of 39, and Subport, with ¢ final 21 points, met last night in a basketball melee that could have passed for anything from a new style football game to the business end of a bowling alley. Scarcely a play was executed with all par- ticipants upright on the floor. In comparison, the spasmodically eye-brow raising PAA-Signac con- test, with the former winning by & 48 to 31 margin, failed to achieve the interest and spectator enthusi- asm it warranted. Douglas Firemen’s first and second string players, sparked by Hickey, Brown, McDaniel, Smith sand the Cashen twins, composed as strong and dynamic an aggre gation as any yet seen this year in Channel gymnasiums. The playcrs mentioned are former high school hasketball stars and received a hearty ovation from last night’s fans. Proof that the team’s playing can focus into smooth unified basket- pall will doubtlessly be seen in future games. Last night's session #was too hectic—on the part of both teams—to point up any well- defined strategy. Indications were, hcwever, that Captain Jensen has selected an exceptionally fine team. As in its last game, Douglas Fire- men showed no grandstanding ten- dencies. * Scoring was adequately handled by the team in general rather than by key players. A good working knowledge of foot work, passing, and general ball- ¥ handling particularly was shown by McDaniel, Brown, Jones and the Cashen twins. High scorers were McDaniel with 10 points and Brown with 9. Subport Works Hard Subport players worked hard for 1 - their 21 points. The team as a whole did not function with its| usual smoothness. Fumbles were plentiful and plays, at least in the nd half of the game, were exe- cuted in a ragged and haphazard manner not usually scen on the Subport team | There was no doubt that Sub-| | port's efforts were at a maximum. | Apparently its lack of ability to handle the ball with its usual ef- | ficiency was due both to over-| enthusiasm in the game and the fact that players realized the Fire- men’s team was a lot stronger | rival than they had expected. Since this is the 'second league game for | the Firemen's team | for many of its pl: | and the first | rs last night, | the Subporters had no advance | knowledge of strong and weak | points. Even when the team is better | known by its fellow-league con- tenders, however, it will not be an easy push-over for the top team in the ieague—if last night's show- | is any criterion.

Passing was good in many instances. Shooting was better than average—that is, the Signacs aver- age, and individual playing in sev- eral cases was good. It is rumored the Signacs are planning practice periods—and the rumor is greeted by the fans with open arms—and in some quarters, open mouths, To date the Signacs have not held practice sessions and in sev- leral instances all players on the floor have not even been ac- quainted with each other. “Hi y Smith,” one Signac forward heard to say to another Signac forward recently, to whom Smith replied: “My name’s not Smith it's Thibodeau.” Practicing together and the players into definite first second string material might dividing and not | make Signacs a top-notch team at but it would cer- off the rock-bottom this late date, list.
