...hard fought game, marred by frequent fouling, the University quintet downed the 1924 five yesterday afternoon by a score of 25-21. The Freshmen started off with a rush and rolled up nine points before the University players were able to get started. S. B. Chase '21 failed to score on three foul tries, but then R. W.

The first two games at Reading resulted in easy victories for the home team because of the numerous fouls called upon the Troy players and the wonderful shooting from the foul line of the Reading captain...
...illustration of the rule I might say that in the first half the New York State referee called something like a total of twenty or twenty-one fouls, while in the second half the Eastern League official called twenty-three on Troy and seventeen on Reading, a total of forty, or an average of two fouls a minute. On the total number of points for the five games the Troy team had a big advantage, gained by the large number of baskets scored from the floor and upon which the game was originally intended to be decided rather than upon...
