Concerning Our
Basket Ball Teams.
Notes And Comments ON The Games
Played Since Last Issue, BY
L'Anse Teams.

The score and particulars of the Calu-
met-L' Anse basket ball game, played
Friday evening. January "A, reached US
too late for our last issue, and we deem
II for the best that we should print q
few Of the particulars Of this contest,
for all accounts which we have seen in
print show L'Anse up in the form of q
green team, when as matter of fact
the conditions under which the game was
played made it q hard proposition.
Ye editor processes to know .
little about the game himself, having
played it for number Of years in one
of the best teams in the central west,
and wants to say that when team has
to play out of bound rules and are not
accustomed to it, they are up against
the real thing, and such was the case
at Calumet. They also were not used to
such substantial baskets, which accounts
for such small score on their part;
the score by no means signifies that
Calumet played L'Anse off it's feet
it also does not signify that Calumet is
going to win the championship, for the
only way that we can see it is that both
the boys and girls championships are
going to come to L'Anse this year.
L'ANsE BOYS 3S-LAKE LINDEN Is.
Last Saturday evening, at Lake Lin
den, the L'Anse high school boys took
an easy victory from the Lake boys, by
the above score. At no time were the
Lake Linden boys ahead, and by superb
or skill, better combination, and better
all-round knowledge of the game, the
L'Anse boys easily captured the bacon.
The game was not as fast as the us
ual exhibition put up by L'Anse, but
this was due to the hard tussle L'Anse
had the evening before. L'Anse
clearly was out of Lake Linden's class
in size and weight, but for small players
we can say the Lake boys played the
game well, though lack ofpractice was
noticeable.
L'ANsE GIRLS 20 LAKE LINDEN Is
The prettiest girls game of basketball
ever witnessed by the editor of this
paper took place in Lake Linden Fri
day evening last between theL 'Ansehigh
school girls team and the Lake Linden
lassies. Though at disadvantage as
to size and weight. as well as the poor
conditions of the hall, the L'Anse girls
played the game like veterans, and by
superior playing easily ran away with
the hopes that the Lake girls had cher
ished of winning the pennant this year.
The score for the first half was 6 to 2
in favor of L'Anse, but the second half
was more evenly played, L'Anse max
ing II and Lake Linden IS.
At this game number Of the LakeLin-
den people expressed themselves as dis
satisfied withthe work of the official, but
in view of other conditions, we can not
see how their protests can be sustained.
In the first place the popular cry ID al
WayD ALL tuc uuiPikS VI ACAcxCc oo VIC
can not blame the Lake Lindenites for
venting their wrath on someone for
their discontinue. The writer Of
this paper, who was also the referee at
this game, has refereed games in all
parts in the copper country and has also
refereed for every high school team in
that section, for the past two seasons,
and has never been classed before as
one who tried to cheat. He has always
been credited as one Of the best referees
in that section of the country. We fear
that the Lake Linden team, which is
the best team in the copper country. is
very poor loser.
