In game replete with brilliant plays
and characterized by snap and ginger,
the Grand Forks high school team de.
feated the Fargo high school pill pass
ers Saturday afternoon in a game
played at the "Y' gymnasium. bv a.
score of SS to 80. The game gave the
visitors the high school championship
Of the state.
Grand Forks started the game with
a rush and scored three points before
Fargo managed to get in the game.
The locals were off color the first few
moments Of play and the midgets were
rather nervous. A field goal was soon
negotiated by Cruikshank and a foul
throw by Nesbit tied the score in about
five minutes playing time However,
Grand Forks took the lead again, but
held it only few minutes, when the
locals scored repeatedly and advanced
their interests materially.
The game during the first half was
all for Fargo. The locals played snap
by ball and their team work was par
excellence. The victors were slow on
their feet and when the half ended the
score was 20 to Is in favor Of the kew
city players
In the second half of the game. the
Fargo boys got completely off color.
They punched repeatedly and only once
did they give a good exhibition of team
work.
However, the lads from the university
town stormed the basket and simply
piled UP the score. Ronholt, the giant
center for the visitors played with
great skill and when he was not put
ting the ball in the basket, he was as
sisting his teammates in the scoring
machine. The Grand Forks boys played
much better ball and their superior
strength and weight was too much for
the Fargo midgets.
Every man on the Fargo team played
good ball during the first half. Cruik-
shank played splendid game and me-
gotiated some pretty shots from diff
ficult angles. Pollock played like a
veteran and Nesbit was up the floor
banging the basket. Hines made a
nice long shot from the center of the
floor which brought down the cheers
from the fans, while Booth, although
small, played clean and consistent
game.
fSOHHolL starred IoT LHS VlSlIOrS. he
was slow getting into working con-
dition, but when he did get into the
game, there was no stopping him.
Henry and Armstrong were both good
men for the visitors Henry being es-
pecially strong
This game put Fargo out of the run
ming in the state championship race.
Grand Forks has only to defeat Minot
high school to have the undisputed
claim Of the North Dakota academic
rag.
Critchfield and Reuber, respectively
referee and umpire, proved pair OF
competent officials, and gave salts
faction to both teams.
