Tomorrow Evening.
Before the largest crowd of specta-
tors congregated at the armory this
season to witness basket ball game,
the girl and boy teams of the Prince
ton high school demonstrated their
superiority over the representatives
of the Milaca high school. The con-
tests were aggressiyely waged, and
the spectators were treated to some
clever basket ball.
The girl teams clashed first, and
real spirited contest was the re-
suit, although the local aggregation
had the edge on the visiting team in
the various departments of the game.
During the first half Princeton's
lineup was as follows: Hazel Seal
berg and Iyah Drinkal], forwards:
Lydia Steinbach, center; Sadie Pen.
hallegon and Lillian Wetter, guards
Both sides were in the game all the
time, and during the first half were
rather evenly matched. However, as
is we'll known, Princeton girls are
''hard to beat" and when time was
called the locals had annexed the
long end of an to count.
In the second half Myra Dickey
replaced Sadie Penhallegon, and in
this half Princeton secured still a
larger lead. The Milaca quint was
not lacking in determination but it
had not acquired the same degree of
proficiency that the local team had.
The final score was Is to 6 and the
Princeton enthusiasts were indeed
pleased at the outcome. Each mem
Der of the local quint is deserving of
a just share of credit for the victory.
In the basket throwing department.,
however, Misses Scalberg, Drinkall
and Steinbach proved to be the stars.
The contest was thoroughly enjoyed
by those present, and the losers, as
we'll as the winners, played a credit
able game.
! The real thriller proved to be be-
tween the boy teams. This was the
first game in the series to determine
which team Of the Tenth congress
sional district shall compete at
Mortified next spring for the state
championship, and consequently both
teams were determined to do their
utmost to win. ...z.@-.. ,.
Play started with Supt. Garrison
of Milaca, and r. NJ. Cooley of
Princeton as officials, and from then
until the first half ended there was
something doing all the time. "
Salstrom, right forward for the visit
ing aggregation, was difficult pro-
position to solve in the early stages,
and, mainly by his proficiency in
basket throwing, Milaca emerged
from the contest at the end of the
first half with total of II points
chalked up to their credit, while the
locals were forced to be content
with 6. >
The Princeton players came back
in the second bali with determine
tion written all over their counter
ances, and proceeded to play game
of basket ball that was more than
creditable. At the outset it was
very evident that they were imbued
with new spirit, and ting. result was
that they literally were ilivincible.
Baskets were thrown in rapid sue
cession, and from some exceedingly
difficult angles. The result was that
Princeton was credited with 20
points in this half to I for the visit
ors, winning the contest by a score
of 26 to 10.
The Princeton high school team
has now taken it's first step forward
in it's journey to the district cham
tpionship. The next contest in the
series will be staged at Mora on the
evening OF February 5, and the local
enthusiasts are pulling for the
local quint to emerge from this con-
test with the long end of the score.
NOTES.
Raiche played his last game with
Princeton last Friday evening, as he
has departed for Minneapolis. He
was an aggressive player and will be
sadly missed from the local lineup.
However, the high school has several
good players toschoose from, and it
