LITTLE FALLS WINS
Pa2ermakers Defeat Local High
School Basket Ball Team in Last
Five Minutes of Play.

The High School basket ball team
invaded Little Falls last Friday and
We're forced to swallow the bitter pill
of defeat for the second time this
season. The fact that the Sank Cen
tire boys had the River Drivers out
played and out-generaled until the
last five minutes made the above men
toned pill particularly difficult to
down. The first half ended with the
score standing 1911 in favor of the
visitors. This lead was held until
near the close Of the contest, when
Little Falls came from behind with a
rush, shot five goals in as many min
utes and several gaping holes in the
Sank Centre hopes of victory. Bran
men, playing with knee that should
have put him on the hospital list, was
responsible for four of these goals.
The Little Falls men didn't seem to
know when they were licked. They
refused to stay put and in the whirl-
wind finish showed a fine fighting
spirit in the face of apparent defeat.
Final score: 25-3S.
Wagner and Hennemann were both
out on account Of sickness. Hopkins
was shifted to centre and Gingery
took his place at guard. Both showed
up well in their new positions. Ham
son and NJ. Lyman did most of the
scoring for Sank Centre; Meyers and
Brannen for Little Falls.
A number Of reasons are given by
the Sank Centre team for their mas
terly snatching Of defeat from the
jaws of victory. First, the day was
Friday the Thirteenth; Second, "Red"
was not on the field of battle; Third,
(but this is detail) their opponents
were bunch of players, fast, shifty,
and well coached.
