RATHDRUM'S TINY TERRIERS

Husky Shooters.

Win Championship Sandpoint's S
Husky Shooters.
In neatly contested game of
basket ball between the Standpoint
and Rathdrum High School Girls
the latter won by score of 1910.
The two teams have played three
games of which Rathdrum has won
two.
When time was called at the end
of the first half the score stood 7 to
7 with both sides confident. The
second half was a struggle but
Rathdrum's forwards generally
landed the ball. The clever work
of Miss Alice Poler in bouncing the
ball, all the while keeping her
opponent behind her, in order to
get nearer the goal, while Lena
Thomas kept in front of the other
Standpoint guard, was something
wonderful.
Rathdrum was out-classed by
heighth in the center but Grayce
Thomas played the game of her
life and made many neat passes to
the forwards. Guard Johnson is
not to be equaled for she was at
the right spot at all times and was
always with the ball when in her
end of the court. Guard Nicolai
looks weak, yet she is the main
stay of the team and her splendid
throwing brought forth cheer after
cheer. When she got the ball it
went to the other end of the hall
it made no difference which hand
it was in or who was guarding her
Sondpoint's forwards were hard tc
beat and made many excellent
plays as also did her guards and
center.
The boys game was more like
football. In the first half the
Rathdrum boys played clear
game, free from fouls, but were
constantly tackled by Standpoint
The officials in the practice games
have called fouls to the letter ane
in the game, the 22nd, the boy!
were ratified because of so mucl
tackling and were expecting II
hear the fouls called. They hae
not been trained to shoot goal
with opponents dangling from
their necks. The first half resultet
in tie of "A. On the secon,
half both sides played roughly ye
Rathdrum was always on tn
cautious side, fearing fouls.
The team work of the Sandpoin
players was excellent and the
passed the ball in a manner tha
showed training. Rathdrum
team was slightly heavier bu
showed lack of team play. How
ever, too much could not be ex
pected of them for it was thei
first game and four of them neve
had seen the game until Feb. a, o
Hulsey is wonder at THROWN
free throws while Sullivan an
Haasch were there in all the stage
of the game. Saunders played we
but fell down from his usual worl
Spoerry played center. Luc
seemed to be against Rathdrun
however for Hulsey shot two goa
} and Spoerry one that did not cour
on account of an official whist
sounding a second before the go;
was made. Standpoint lost or
goal in the same manner.
Referee Clark and Umpire
Secord and Webster handled th
games to the entire satisfaction
all concerned. They were fair an
impartial in their decisions an
made many friends in both cite
They did not call as many foul
U however, as the rules gave the
power to do, and allowed the gan
to be little on the rough ord
which put the Rathdrum playe
in bad position for they had bet
: coached to avoid all fouls of eve
q nature. Their losing the gan
y was due to roughness and lack
y team work.
