BOYS LOST At GLEkDIVE

6VOu ~ O66WOuUS
GLENDIVE VICTORIOUS
The High School boys team met
their first defeat last Friday evening at
the hands of the Glendlve team at that
city. The final score was Al TO % and
the game was on the whirlwind order.
Our boys played strenuously, but
were unable to roll up as many points
as did their opponents.
!, The Glendive players are much heavier
than our boys and they have center
that is whole team in himself. The
Gate City boys have lost only one game
this season and that game was to Dick
inson early in December. A third
game for honors was talked of some-
what, but it has not been decided on as
yet.
Close playing was done on both sides,
;and the refereeing. although fair, was
very strict. Fouls were called on Dick
inson rs times and Glendive was fouled
~ times. Dickinson was awarded
la score for interference and Glen
dive given four points for the same
Freason.
|. Roquette and Richards. Dickinson
forwards, each scored eight points and
~ ilson two. from field throws. Roquette
was successful in 10 out of the ~ fouls.
EGalvin, Glendive's center. made ten
goals from the field and is free throws
Eout of rs chances. This, outside of one
basket made by Leonard was all that
|Elendive scored.
The game was somewhat rough, but
Coach Gustafson finds no fault with the
lareatmeut: given them.. He says the
Gleadive boys have developed wonder
fully since their game here and that his
own team did good work but of course
were somewhat handicapped! by the
strange floor and by the heavy players on
the opposing team.
The next game for the boys will be
on February 22. when Mandan Highs
come here and then on to Beach and
Gleadive.
DICKINSON rs MANDAN
A surprise was in store for the big
crowd of spectators who were at the
armmy last Friday night to witness the
first hsme game of the Girls High School
team. The girls quint from the Man.
dan High School was the other team
contendine for victory and the game
was the best girls game
ever seen in the city. The outcome was
victory for the locals with final scores
~ tot.
The playing was done under boys
rules and the game was fast from begin
ming to finish. After a little exhi.
bition of team work Mandan got hold
of the ball and made the first basket
and ID was some few minutes before
Ethel Parker made a fine field basket
for the locals. Then Mandan got an
other from the field and again Miss
Parker tied the score. It seemed nobody s
game yet, although the locals were
managing to keep the ball in their ter
ritory the greater part of the time.
This half ended with successful free
throw for Mandan. two for Dickinson
and a long field basket for the locals
made by Marjorie Lyt lie. and were
the numbers on the score board at the
end of the first half.
In the second half the ball was mostly
in Dickinson territory and the game still
continued lively. Mandan scored from a
field throw also one from the foul line
while Dickinson added field basket by
Maysie Dinsdale, another by Dorothy
Ayers and two by Marjorie Lytle. also
a free throw by Miss Dinsdale.
The guarding of the Mandan team
was especially commented upon and for
this reason the local forwards. Maysie
Dinsdale aud Dorothy Ayers. had not a
chance to show their usual form at bas-
ket making. but they played their parts
splendidly. Ethel Parker was in the
game for the first time this season and
made an excellent showing at center.
Marjorie Lytle probably played the star
game for the locals. Her playing was
marked by her usual coolness and she
excels in the long field throws. two.of her
three baskets in Fridays game be ing
made from long range. Myrtle Parker
played as guard ::in the first half and
Emma Nichols substituted in the last,
and both girls showed basketball talent
and very creditably held down their
end.
The Mandan girls all play good
