In a brilliant game of basket-ball

Saturday night, the Marietta Y W C

overwhelming score of 56 to 6. We
eay brilliant, but this appelation can
onlv be anplied to the playing of the
local girls. The Atlanta girls played
bard and stubbornly but they were
no match for the fast, well-coached
Marietta team.
~ The five man defense of the local
team worked to perfection, so perfect
in fact, that it could very seldom be
told whether the visitors were good
goal shooters or not, as their chances
at goal were very few during the en
tire game. It is very likely that there
was about an equal percentage of
i‘had shots on either side, but the out
standing fact was that the brilliant
passing of the Mariettans kept the
ball in their possession at least nine.
