Y.M.C.A AND COLLEGE
TEAMS FELL TO DEFEAT
from Mondays Daily.
STANDING OF TEAMS.

The Y M c. A. and Commercial
college teams went down TO defeat
Saturday night, at the hands of the
Mankato high school, and Mankato
normal school, with decisive scores
of So to % for the former, and SO
to % for the latter, both games be-
ing decidedly one-sided, and poorly
played by the losing teams.
The high school and the "Y" play
ed the first game of the double.
header, and the features of this
game were the exceptional playing
of Tuberg, Johnson and Kimble Of
the high school team. The Y. M.
G. A. had trouble from the start
with their team work, and were
blocked in every move. In the Sec
ond game, normals versus the Com
mercial college, the normal appear
ed to have the advantage, inasmuch
as they were on their own floor, and
had not played the night before.
The Commercials were practically
disrupted on account of playing the
night before with the Loyola club.
1t appeared as if the only thing
they could do was to keep out OF
their opponents way. The scores of
both games do not begin to repre-
sent the playing qualities of each
team. The lineup follows:
Y. NJ. NJ. C. A.-Burmeistcr, If.
five baskets; Monson. If, no bas-
kets; Pass, Jr., C, three baskets;
Ash, lg, no baskets: Scherer, re-,
two baskets; Burmeister one free

1t is freely predicted among fol.
lowers of local basketball in this
city, that the three leading teams
at present are having a very close
run for first place, as they are
evenly matched, and all going at a
pretty fast clip. Before this last
game the Commercial college had
a splendid showing for the city
championship, but unless they come
back stronger than they did Satur.
day night they have a pretty poor
chance at present. No doubt they
will surprise few people later on.
This mornings session of the city
council was short and sweet. The
new police ordinance which was in,
troduced last week was given its
second reading and was passed. An
ordinance defining the duties and
privileges of the city engineer was
given it's first reading.
The monthly report of the treas,
urer and of the city clerk were
read, accepted and filed. The re.
ports showed the following bal
