Last night the aggies added another
victory to their list by drubbing Con-
cordia by a score of 4s to IL. The
game was played on the Concordia
floor which is considerable smaller
than any the farmers had yet played
on thus placing them at a disadvan-
tage.
The narrowness OF the floor made ii
almost impossible for either team to do
much team work and passing though
the aggies pulled Off their plays at
will and rarely missed shot at the
rings.
The Concordia forwards were well
guarded only being able to secure
three field baskets during the entire
game. The farmers covered the floor
fast and showed some OF their old
time pep" and speed in handling the
pill
Captain Darrow and Bridge were
kept out OF the game as they would
be liable to injuries in a small gym
which would prove fatal 10 the ag-

the aldermen, but nothing definitely
was done regarding the matter.
A number of the aldermen spoke of
the situation, some favorably and
others were given TO consider the
question rather lightly. One OF the
aldermen called the attention of his
colleagues to the fact that the people
had asked for a municipal light plant
in casting their votes at the last city
