Mitchell, the tiny forward on the Jack- son team, won the game with four field baskets and a foul goal, all thrown during the second half. Mitch- ell seemed to cover two-thirds of the oor. The boys from Detroit were crip- pled by the absence during nearly all of the game of their captain, Whit- lock, who received an injured hip last night. Whitlock only played the last two minutes. Wilson was the only Detroit man to play the entire game. After an injury to Wilson in the third quarter, Mitchell was allowed to score. The game was featured by team- work and short passing. Few long shots were attempted. In the first half theJackson boys failed to cover their opponents, allowing three or four men from Central to romp down the floor together. This was reversed in the second half. The lineup: Jackson Detroit Central Isbell...........R.F.. Walmoth, Beard Mitchell ........L.F..McElwee, Swick Gilbert..........C...

Here he also coached football, basketball and baseball. His basketball teams were again very suc- cessful, winning this year 17 out of IS games. Two of his football te have held the All-fresh to tie sc in the past two years.

Mitchell started the scoring when he dropped a basket for Jackson in the first minute of play. Henderson even- ed things for the quarter with a bask- et. Three personal fouls were called on Mark. Isbell and Mitchell each shot a foul goal, neither of which were counted because the foul line was crossed. Mitchell Busy Lad Mitchell scored all of Jackson's points in the second quarter with two field goals and two foul goals. One of the baskets was shot from a dif- ficult position following a clever drib- ble through the whole Detroit team. Downie, Henderson, Welhoetter, and Mark, on a long shot, each dropped in a field goal for Northwestern in this quarter. In the third quarter Henderson be- gan to find the basket. He placed two field goals and Thompson added an- other one to Northwestern's score. Vedder, who threw eight out of 10 fouls in the morning, failed on two attempts at foul goal in this quarter. Isbell dropped two field goals and one foul, and Meakin broke into the score sheet with a field goal. One of Is- bell's shots was made from beyond the center of the court.
