tween the Essex Amateur <Associa- 
tion and All-Collegians took place 
at Town hall last Friday evening. 
The All-Collegians won by a score 
of 50 to 20. Basket ball bids fair 
to be second in interest only to base 
ball. A good team has been formed 
and with a little: practice will make 
some of the best:teams look up to 
beat them.
