Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1914-03-05

Friday evening two teams represent
ing the Mineral Point high school jour
neyed to Dodgeville in the interest Of
basketball for friendly contest with
the veteran team of that place, most
of whom have played together for three
years. Mineral Point had little or no
chance. This was conceded before
hand, The only purpose of the game
was to maintain an interest until such
time, as the high school team may be
fortunate enough to secure place to
practice the popular sport
The first half was fast and inter-
esting, but in the second half condi-
ton told, Dodgeville outplaying our
fellows.
The redeeming feature was the pre-
liminary game, played by the second
teams of the respective schools The
Mineral Point seconds clearly outplayed
their rivals, most all Of the game be-
ing played in Dodgeville's territory
In view of the fact that Dodgeville
graduates nearly the entire team in
June next. Mineral Point should devel-
ope the Timing team next year.
