ABERDEEN GETS THE COUNT
Outplays Wesleyan but Arouses
Dissatisfaction Through Ref
eree's Evident Unfairness.
Aberdeen, in their game with Da-
kota Wesleyan at the city hall Friday
night, demonstrated that they could
play basketball by running up 3
score of 81 to 16. Their superiority
was self-evident from the splendid
team work displayed and the individ-
ual exhibitions given by various
members of the quintet. However.
that should have been SUFFICIENT With
out their referee, Skunk, resorting to
practically highway robbery to cinch
the game. Mitchell has accepted
many defeats with the best Of grace.
but there is a last straw and that was
evidently added. by the number Of
times that pandemonium reigned
when some Of the more rank decis- .
ions were given out. AS for the team
itself no complaints a be made.
They were out to win AMI hal the
ability 10 do it fairly. Some uf tho
referees rulings ranked deep and
from the warmth displayed by the
crowd at times he will probably get
his" before the present trip of the
team is over with. To this officials
credit let it be said that during the
most of the second half he seemed to
find no dificulty in abiding Ivy some
sense Of Justice. III
The auditorium was packed toS its..
capacity to hold the crowd that
thronged In. The contest they wit
messed was the best seen here for
some time and the game was much
better than OF the preceding night.
The stellar work was done by more
individuals and was also far faster.
The Wesleyan guards as usual played
wide and allowed a number Of points
to be thrown. In point of speed
both quints were on a par, with the
northerners to the good in the matter
of shooting baskets. A man in white
and a man in blue were after every
ball and the excitement was not over
until the final blowing of the referees
whistle. On the Normal 10 fouls
were called and en- Mitchell IA.
For the visitors Fullerton shone
for accuracy in making points on
free throws after fouls. He made II
points altogether. sieh was next with
8 points. Welsh made Z points, john
on, If; Fullerton, c; Callett, cap
tain, rg; sieh, lg.
OF the locals, Hersey made 6
points and only played in the second
half, substituting for Minty. Kirk
patrick made 5 points, Sheeks 2, Min
ty 1, and Tyler 2. Brown failed to
score. The line up was: Sheeks RI;
Minty and Hersey, II; Tyler, c;
Brown, rg; Kirkpatrick. lg.
From here the Aberdeen Normal
goes to vermillion where they have
a game scheduled with the state uni-
versity. Thence they will go to
Sioux Falls for a game with the col-
lege and play the concluding game OF
the trip at Huron. The strongest
team they meet on the circle will be
at vermillion where the locals met
their Waterloo two weeks ago. From
their experience there the champions
ship will lodge at the down-state
school.
The athletic event Friday evening
seems to emphasize in the strongest
manner the imperative need of .
gymnasium and the accompanying
facilities. Aberdeen is equipped with
a modern building for physical pur-
poses and their playing showed ~
plainly. Every time Wesleyan has
had a practice this year 1t has been
after walking half a mile to the down
town gymnasium at infrequent tn-
tervals and then the incentive neces-s
sary for a Championship team has
been removed. Because Of football
requiring but little indoor practice
during the season Mitchell has been
fairly successful in this line andswithS
especial inducements to draw ath--
lletes. However, there seems obe
