Marquette Champions Met Defeat q
L'Anse Last Saturday Evening.

The Marquette X. C. baske tball team
came to L'Anse full Of hopes last Sat.
urday evening, but left on the night
train having failed to annex their long
hoped for victory over the L'Anse City
team.
The X. C's came fully prepared fol-
the contest with their regular lineup
and couple members of the Gwinn
team. All were used during the con-
test. but to no avail, for the local boys
were out to win Or die trying, and win
they did.
The game was very fast and the
hardest fought one which has been
seen on the local floor. The L'Anse
boys, before the game, seemed to be
out of the running, judging by the
heighth and weight of their opponents,
but when the first half was ended they
led by a score of IA to 7. In the second
half, fresh Gwinn men were put in the
lineup, but despite this handicap the
locals kept the lead, winning by a
score of 20 to 16.
1t seems strange that the X. C's
should have to resort to the use OF
ringers" to try and win game, but
still L'Anse plays anything their OPP
ponents may put up, playing always
with a home team. We must extend
regrets for all the expense our OPP
ponents were put to, but we had to
win this game to keep up our reputa-
ton, dom cher know.
