The game was the feature event at the semi-annual banq-uet conducted by the Wilmette Playground and Recreation board. The game was close and the outcome was in doubt until the half. After the beginning of the last half, the All Stars' superior condition began to tell and the game was soon "on ice" as far as they were concerned. The Presbyterians made several rallies but they were short lived. The star of the game ·was Charles, "Chuck" Lauer, captain of the Presbyterians, who made all but two of his team's points during the first half and kept his team fighting during the second half. For the All Stars, Manning Powers and Bob McLean showed some snappy team work. The Presbyterians were the champions of the Recreation Board league and up until this exhibition game hac\ dropped just one game and that one by one point to the Terminal Athletic club team. The All Stars were picked players from the rest of the league, chosen and managed by Bat Robinson of the Wilmt:tte State Bank team. · The lineup was: All Stars Presbyterians Eugene Hardt, F.
