Coach Zimbar’s basketeers lost a hard-fought battle at N.Y.U., 30-18. It was a wild affair in which the violet squad of the metropolis had a total of 21 fouls called on them – 19 personal and two technical.
Bumps and Bruises
When the girls returned to the campus they looked as though they had just played a grueling football game. The girls were patched and bruised. It was amusing to see Ollie Smith, manager and scorekeeper, walking around with her hand bandaged, along with other members of the varsity who were also patched up. One’s first impression might be that Ollie had had a disagreement with the N.Y.U. scorer but – she hadn’t – it was an accident.
White High for N.Y.U.
White was high for the Violets with 16 points. She tossed in eight baskets. Ruth Williams was high for the Warriorettes with 10 points. Williams had only one goal from the field, but had eight points from the free-throw line. The Stroud girls had but three field goals the whole game. The Pocono lassies played fine ball the first half. When the half was up, the score stood at 14 all, but the Zimbarettes fell by the way-side, scoring one point in the third period and only three in the last.
