George Harmon, sensational run ning guard,' and “Cofisuello” Smith were the outstanding stars- of the game, though they had able assist ance in Captain Harper, Gamble and Wilkes'. Harmon racked up a total of six field goals, plus three fouls oil! of eight attempt's for fifteen, tal lies which made him high point man of. the evening. Every one of. the baskets negotiated by the former. l>a rper high school star were from dif ficult angles, strictly of the 1 sensa tin,ml variety. On the other hand Smith, for Mercer, put up the best floor game he has yet shown ami succeeded in. tallying five goals from the field. Two Goals for Auburn Auburn was able .to negotiate- but two field goals in' the' entire game their, other three points being made by the foul route. They were out classed in every . department of the indoor game and at no time, threat ened the Orange and Black standard bearers. F,red Hahn, • brother of . the 'celebrated "Hub" Hahn, offered the sol- consolation of the Tigers in. their unexpected large marginal de feat. The game was an exceptionally clean one, there being no one ban ished from the . struggle on - account of personal fouls, though two men, Wilkes of Mercer and Hahn of Au burn; were assessed three such pen alties in the: entire course of the battle. “Red” Pound, former Uni versity of Georgia luminary, refereed the-contest and there were few ob jections to any !of hjs rulings. Six fouls were called against Mercer, Whjl-i eight-were assessed the Tiger?. First Half is 16-4 , The score at the end of the first half was 16 to 4, in the locals’ favor, with Hahn making one field goal and two fouls for the visitors’ tally ih the initial period. Soon after the second period opened, Coach Cody substituted Filed” Simmons ’ f<# Gamble, Wear for, Wilkes apd Mc Williams for Harper, and the Bap- h*ts continued to meet with just as much success as formerly. The victory marked the seventh'-of the season for the Orange and piack out of eight games played, and the t«cond intercollegiate acalp on the home floor.
