"AIl Stars Split Even and
Success Quint Loses to
st. Cloud Normals
The 'All Stars Of this city broke
even with the big Bemidg team
IN the series of two games played on
the Remidjl floor Thursday and FRI
day evening of last week, the first
game going to the northern town by
the score of 46 to II, and the final to
the 'tAn Stars by score of % to %
after one of the closest and fastest
games played in that neck of the
woods this season. ~. -
The only thing to account for
Banidjl's decisive victory in the first
game IS that the locals were in
timidated by the stories that were
atioat. from Brainerd on up along the
NJ. & l. road, Of the big Bemldg'"
teams prowess, as also the fatigue Of
the trip. the fact that the boys got
into the game Immediately after a
hearty supper, and that they were
playing on a strange floor. The play
ing of Nord. Benefits star forward,
insured victory to the northern town
quintet, however, under ordinary
circumstances He is at present q
store-keeper at Cas- Lake, but we are
told that he has played the game with
the crack Company 1 quintet of
Superior, Wis.
Under these circumstances the locals
feel more than compensated by taking
the Friday evening game. big
Bem,dg'' did not use Nord or Brown,
who played the previous evening, in
this game, but Gould, who sub
stituted for Brown, was even more
effective, holding Gatchel to no field
baskets, while the latter made two
field baskets on Brown in the first
game. The rest of Bemldji's lineup
was the same as In the previous game
except that Gill played only during
the last half of this game.
The first half ended 10 to Gin favor
of Bemidji, which, by the way, really
was 9 to 9, as the locals conceded a
foul to the northern town on Berg's
dribbling the ball while the whistle
blew, but picking 1T up with both
hands after it had blown, and which
chance at free throw Bem1dj1 made
count for point. Referee Butler was
against calling foul on this, but the
local team conceded it against their
better judgment. In the second half
the game was anybody's, slightly
leaning towards big Bemidg." but
Berg snatched the game at the last
moment by connecting for his second
basket just before the half was over.
Bemld1l also claims that there was
some dispute between the two SCORERS
as to a certain field basket, which it
says was finally conceded to Little
Falls rather than break up the game.
This was Roberts field basket, and
his opponent acknowledged the score.

The st. Cloud Normal five defeated
the Little Falls Business college
quintet on the Normal gymnasium
floor last Friday evening, by taking
the bg END of score of 80 to Is.
! While individually the locals played
a good snappy game. they were way
behind the Normalites in team worK
and were at the mercy of the 'granite
city boys from the beginning o:
the game, although the locals mace q
temporary stand at the start of the
second half and scored several times
before the Normalltes got into a scor.
ing way.
Cannon was good at throwing fouls,
scoring 8 points tor the locals in this
manner, and connecting for 1 field
basket, The Normal has very strong
team, and the local teams defeat was
not unexpected.
