Tostevin for the, second team, and
Gibson for the stage hands made
some exceptionally pretty field goals.
The first half Of the big game was
fast and furious. The Bismarck team
walked right away from their oppon-
ents, showing pretty team work, and
connecting with some difficult goals.
Albertson and Thompson did some
good basket shooting in this half and
continued their good work In the sec
ond. Hoalser threw three pretty
goals during the course of the game
Quilting went in as left guard during
the last half, and landed four goals
in succession, which took the heart
out of the Mandan team for the re-
mainder of the struggle. e. Houser
went into the game for the final ten
minutes Of play, relieving his brother,
M. Houser, at right forward. He shot
two spectacular baskets during the
time he was in the play. Myhre and
Preston did not try to shoot baskets
as their efforts were centered large
ly on breaking up the team work of
the Mandan team, and preventing
them from making field goals. That
they were successful, and played
brilliant games the score will testify.
The Mandan boys played at a dis
advantage they. worked hard, but the
superior practice Of the capital city
aggregation was too much for them.
Their sole field goal, made by Tobin
in the second half, was q beautiful
throw. The Mandan team has no
place to practice unless the boys dig
up enough money out Of their own
pockets to rent the opera house each
time they wish to use it. The fact
that they have shown as much in
terest in the game az they have,
speaks great deal for the enthusi-
astice spirit they possess. This was
their first year. in the game and an
other season, when they are hoping
for gymnasium where they will have
q larger hall, and adequate facilities
for practice, will see them formidable
opponents Of any team Of their weight
whom they meet.
The game was clean cut. The play
was fast, but free from roughness,
and little fouling was called on either |
side. The opera house was packed |
to its capacity with cheering crowds, |
and feeling ran high. The Mandan
boys were good losers, and will await |
the advent Of another season when |
they hope to get revenge. The game
