Friday evening two teams represent
ing the Mineral Point high school
journeyed to Dodyeville iu the interest
Of basket ball. against Dodgeville's
team of veterans. most of whom have
played together for three years. Min.
eral Point had no chance, and the only
purpose of the game was to maintain
an interest until such tine as the high
school teams may be fortunate enough
to secure place to practice the popu-
lar sport.
The first half was fast and interest
ing, but III the second half, condition
told, and Dodgevile outplayed our
fellows.
The redeeming feature of the evening
was the preliminary game played by
the second teams OF the respective
schools. The Mineral Point seconds
clearly outplayed the Dodgeville Sc
conds, most all of the game being play
cd in Dodgeville's territory.
In view Of the fact that Dodgeville
graduates nearly the entire team in
June, Mineral Point should develop
winning team next year
