Urania Basket Ball Team

Plays in National Tournament at Chicago. Defeats Nevada Team

The Urania High School Basketball team. Louisiana champions, left last Sunday
night for Chicago where they went to play in the National Tournament. The
whole state will rejoice over the fact that they played and defeated the
Tonopah, Nev., team Wednesday by a score of 38 to 15. Press reports are to the
effect that when the Southerners once began hitting the basket they could not
miss, the Gaharan brothers being particularly effective with seven baskets
each.

Urania played a long spot pass game, taking the ball down the floor, while
under the basket the Southerners took full advantage of lax guarding to sink
numerous baskets from follow attempts. The Urania cagers completely outclassed
their opponents. They will meet Torrington, Conn., New England champs, in a
third round contest Thursday morning at ten o'clock.

The Urania lineup is: J. Gaharan, left forward; O. Kees, right forward; L.
Gaharan, center; L. Boyette, center; Q. McCartney, left guard; W. Bass, right
guard.
