defeat some time ago, and the High
School-Seminary game last Friday eve
ming brought out the fastest play Of the
season.
Cosmos II, Morris 23.
In a. one sided game the Cosmos Club
| team defeated the Norris Independents
last Friday evening, by score Of II to
%. The game was interesting for
| about three minutes, and then it turn
ed into walkaway, with McEnroe and
| Nordstrom trying to see who could
shoot the most baskets. Mac succeed
| ed In securing thirteen from the field,
| while Nordstrom had an off night and
| only connected for eleven. Buck john
| son plugged along at his usual steady
| gait, and shot seven from the field.
| Tim Norlfng found his eye for a few
minutes and sent three spinning thru
the net. Rudy Larson stuck to the de-
fensive practically the whole game, and
was invaluable in team work. Once he
couldn't see any one to pass to, so he
shot the basket himself, just to show
Morris that If the occasion demanded
he could shoot with the rest. An unfor-
tunate incident in connection with the
game was the fact that three Of the
Morris team got lost during the after
noon. They failed to show up for the
game, and that left the visitors with
but four men. Lawrence Bergeson kind
ly offered his services to the VISITORS
and they were accepted. He played a
good game, as good as any Of the Nor
rfs men, altho they were all bewildered
by the Cosmos attack. The team work
was nearly perfect. It is said that the
three missing Morris players were at
Clara City. If such is the case they
should be barred from any team The
other four men, Berg, Torrey, Stranger
and Treischal were fine gentlemenly
players, and were much put out over
the conduct Of their team mates
High School az, Seminary ~.
In the fastest and hardest fought
game of the local season, the High
School team defeated the Seminary at
the 1atter's gym. last Friday evening
by a score of % to e. The game
abounded in sensational playing, the
close guarding Of the Seminary; espec-
tally in the first half, being one of the
chief features. The high school team
went In to the game over confident, GER
tain of easy victory, and the result
| showed In their play. The Seminary
excelled in team work, time and again
working the ball the length of the floor
for shot. The careful training and
coaching Of the Seminary bunch showed
in their play, too, and their team an6
floor work was great
! The Sem. sprung a surprise by hav
ing Bill Gordhamer in the line up. HI
hadn't played during the season, but
he made himself known every minute Of
the game Friday. He started at for
ward, but after a few minutes switched
to center, and outside Of the tip off, h,
outplayed Erickson thruout the game
securing five field baskets and holding
j his man score1ess. Nelson and Cantor
more than out did themselves, the for
mer getting three and the latter fou
field baskets, some Of them being from
difficult angles. Kannikeberg stuck t
the defensive pretty close, while tn
guarding Of Christian was the stiffes
that Severinson had faced this year. TIL
little forward scored three field baskets
but he earned them.
For the High School, Paul Holt play
ed the best game of his life. After tn
ball every minute, he shot five basket
from the field, and covered more foo
space than any other man in the game
Conway played the other guard position
owing to the disability Of Hedberg, an
he played a good game all the way thru
Erickson, at center got the tip off prac
tically every time, but outside Of thai
Gordhamer out played him. Yarro,
connected for three baskets in the las
half, after being held scoreless in tn
first period, and the chances are h
would have scored more If he hadn
persisted in dribbling every time he &C
the ball. With clear shot, he tried I
dribble nearly every time and by ths
time some Seminary man was afte
him. Severinson did his best foul shoe
ing Of the year, when he connected fl
six out Of eight trials
So close was the guarding at the stal
of the game that it was minutes ar
