MAY YOUR CHRISTMAS BE A MERRY ONE
NEW ULM OUTcLAssEs MORGAN
Local High School Basketball
Team Wins. 3S-7.

The New Ulm High School basket
ball team played its second game last
Friday night, easily defeating the
Morgan 81. S. team by score of 38-7.
The Morgan boys were much smaller
and lighter than the home team, but
they put up hard game. At the start
of the game, New Ulm was fouled re-
peatedly, sometimes without real cause
and both teams began playing hard
and rough, regardless Of the conse-
quences. Referee Schwartz, doubtless
thOt that his decisions were fair, but he
should have taken into consideration
the fact, that when heavy man runs
against light man, the weaker one
invariably falls back even tho he has
not been pushed intentionally.
The New Ulm team did not play the
game it is capable of playing for its
teamwork was crude and Backer was
the only one to shoot baskets consis-
tently. Once in while, however,
flashes of brilliant playing appeared.
Their passing has improved and there
was not as much fumbling as in the
Lamberton game.
The Morgan were swift and fast on
their feet and they Intercepted many
of the New Ulm passes. Their main
faults are their cunning roughness
and their inability to shoot baskets.
Only one goal from the field is credi-
ted to them and that was from directly
underneath the basket.
Backer was the star in shooting
baskets and he made the majority OF
the New Ulm points. However, he
showed a tendency to try for q goal,
even tho he could pass. to one of his
teammates who had better chance.
HUM was clearly not up to form. He
was extremely careless in shooting
fouls, baskets and general all-around
playing. Fritz Groebner was out Of
the game, because of his broken nose
and Dougher played his position.
Dougher is good basket-thrower, but
he fumbles the ball much too frequent
ly. The two guards, Anthony and A.
L. Groebner played good games and
they started the New Ulm teamwork.
"Cyrus" electrified the rooters by
shooting two brilliant baskets
Amann was substituted for Dougher
in the latter part of the second half.
He sprang into the game energetically
and played we'll. His passing was
clever and he helped along the team.
play. He does not tumble nearly as
much as Dougher and succeeded in
breaking up much of the teamwork OF
the Morgan boys.
New Ulm has good bunch of sub.
stitutes this year and all of them
should be given thorough try-outs.
There was meagre following at the
game, most of them being high school
students. New Ulm is noted for the
good basketball teams the high school
turns out and its citizens should turn
out and support them in a fitting man.

| Several alumni OF the high school
are endeavoring to arrange a game
with the high school boys to be played
next week. There are quite number
of fast players among the graduates
| and they would undoubtedly put up a
far better game than the teams thai
the locals have met this season. The
contest would be lexciting and inter.

valry between the two teams added to
a spirit of superiority which each
faction would possess.
