MANITOBA QU|N7
Great Game BY Great Team
Is Opinion of Those Who
i Saw. It

Playing a brand of basketball that
was a surprise even to their most ar
dent admirers. the University of North
Dakota. quint trimmed the University
of Manitoba five on Friday night AT
the u. N. ID. gym by a score of SIS to
30. in what was probably one of tho
fastest games The old floor has ever
experienced.
At every stage of the game the uni
versity boys held the lead and the
team work and unexpected plays kept
the Canadians guessing. Starting out
with fast work, the Winnipegians gave
promise of putting up a wonderfully
fast fight. but the superior size, the
team work and the ability to get into
the game n keep everlastingly at IL.
Of the Flickertails proved too much
for them.
h game started with Il rush, Sa-
gen making the first basket in about
Il minute of play. Rice of the Mani
toba quint got a free throw and the
score ~zigzagged up to 10 to 8 when
the varsity tool IL brace and waded
into the visitors. shooting one after
another until the end of the half when
HI score stood 25 to. 6.
The second half saw the same men
OF both teams playing. no changes be-
ing made There was no need to make
any changes OH the varsity and the
TOBIAS were working as hard as posi-
Bile. The visitors came back with q
determination that would have BODIED
Ill for a lesser team of opponents.
Some particularly fast work featured
the latter period, but the end of the
of thirty-two points, the final score
being So to %.
Is a Fast Team
Every member of the varsity uuint
deserves d little pat on the back for
his work in Friday nights game.
Heimes as was expected proved q
star performer when 1t came to get
ting the ball at the center. His
working in dribbling. was a sight to
strongest games he has ever been
known to. Always at the right place
at the right time to receive the ball
made baskets easy for him. Rob-
insOn and Wilcox furnished as good 4
pair of guards as it would be posi-
BILE to find. When. opportunity came
both were at the 'toba end of the gym
and both had baskets to their credit.
Sad played al aggressive game and
if he couldn't hang on to the ball him.
self made 1t a hard job for his oppo-
nents. Team work was what charac-
terized the entire play and what won
the game.
The star Of the visitors was Rice,
the center. 1t was his playing and
the way he followed his man, Heimes,
that kept the latter from doing more
damage than he did. Bell and Nc
|KelVie played hard games but were un-
able to do mucha against Robinson and
Wilcox. Tire team was fast and at
times 1t was almost impossible for the
varsity to break mp their plays.
1t was some game, the university has
some team and the fan are looking
forward to some victories the rest Of
the season.
