EVEN BREAK FOR QUlNI S.
LOCAL QUINT AND ST. CLOUD G..
Y. M. A. TEAM EACH TAKE
ONE GAME

Wednesday evenings game of basket
ball played between the Catholic Young
Mems association of St. Cloud and
the Little Falls gymnasium teala proved
to be fast but very one sided con-
test. The locals secured a lead Of sew
eral points over the st. Cloud bunch
in the first part Of the game and kept
the big end Of the score in their pos
session during the entire game.
The home boys showed very good
form being fairly accurate in their
shooting and sure of their passes. The
team work by the local quint came as
a pleasant surprise to the fans as in
all previous games there has been an
apparent lack of unity and most con-
spicious individualism in their play.
The aggregation from St. Cloud
could not connect with the baskets and
were at a loss to understand the bank
ings in the local gym. The out Of town
boys were, or acted as though the floor
was too small, but got some efficient
team work into play at times.
Following is the lineup:
Little Falls st. Cloud
R. Brannen rf Shoppers
A. Meyers.
Howard Clark If McGentey
V. Brannen Carew
Gales
E. Dunphy rf Schmidt
F. Greisch lg Litycnger
One feature of the game was the
small number of fouls called.
The local gymnasium team met de-
feat Thursday night of last week at
the hands Of the same quint ct st.
Cloud. The quint from the down river
city winning by score of 81 to 13.
Both teams are evidently much fast
er on their own floors.
