to the last, Bemidji defeated Deer
River in basketball last night by a
score of a. to l II. IF spite IF the
fact that the locals won an over
whelming victory, the game was one
of the most exciting ever seem on a
Bemidji floor.
Both teams started with rush
and a foul was called on Bemidu in
the first minute of play. Deer River
missed the. free throw and the game
was on In earnest. Both teams did
not overlook opportunities for rough
ing and a foul was soon called on Be-
midi. Tanner made his basket. Two
double fouls were called during the
first half, neither team scoring on the
free throws. - ="
The teams were evenly matched in
size but the Bemidji boys proved to
be faster on their feet and put more
team work into play. Claude Bailey
usually kept back toward the Bemidji
goal and several times was able to
corner long shots headed for Deer
River forwards. Twice during the
first half, however, he was drawn into
the fight under the Deer River goal
with a result that long shots up the
field scored two baskets for Deer
River. =, f.. = = -.
