LOCALS WIN AGAIN
rlora Team Bows to Supremacy of the
Princeton High School Basket
Ball Exponents.
Game Is Played at flora and Both
Teams Play an Extremely
Aggressive Game.

The Princeton high school basket
ball team took another step forward
in it's march to the championship of
the Tenth district last Friday even
ing when it defeated the Mora aggre-
cation by a count of IA to 10. The
contest was staged at Mora, and the
play was fast and furious throughout.
| Play started after preliminary
contest between the girl teams of
the two schools, but we have been
able to ascertain but very little
|about the first game We under
stand, however, that Miss Steinbach
negotiated basket for Princeton,
land that the Mora girls had an un-
happy faculty of throwing the ball
through the net with a regularity
that was truly disconcerting to the
Princeton team. We ceased our in
vestigations then and there: but
have no doubt that if a return game
is scheduled the tables will be re-
versed.
The Princeton boy team started it's
contest with dash, and secured
field basket before play had proceeded
a minute. Both teams were very
levenly matched, however, and the
| first half ended with honors evenx
| the score being 6 to 6.
In the second half the Princeton
quint forged ahead, and clearly dem
onstrated it's superiority. In this
half Mora secured but one field bas-
ket and 2 free throws, while the
local quint was securing total of 4
field baskets.
| While Princeton won, the Mora
team showed up rather strong and
those present pronounced the contest
to be real thriller.
NOTES.
The next contest in the cham
pionship series will be staged at
Sandstone, on Friday evening. Feb
10. Sandstone has also won two con-
tests, and this game bids fair to be a
battle royal. 4
] The locals go to Elk River tomor-
row evening, and will endeavor to
walk off with the laurels.
Coach Morton has developed truly
formidable high shool basket ball
machine for Princeton. and is en-
titled to considerable credit.
In the contest Friday evening
Peterson and Frank Umbehocker
each negotiated field baskets, while
Newton secured the other one.
Schmidt and Berg also showed up
STRONG, and played clever defensive
|games.
| r. M.Cooley refereed the game, and
proved to be entirely satisfactory to
both sides. He is thoroughly
familiar with basket ball rules.
The Mora team had the advantage
lover Princeton in weight. but this
was more than offset by the speed
and knowledge of the game displayed
by the Princeton players
| AOCdl Gil utl llSldSUS VI C1lc great 1T
door game will undoubtedly be
pleased to learn that Company G's
Ispeedy basketball team will be seen
in action at the armory tomorrow
|evening. Manager Hoflander has
scheduled another game with the
powerful Temple quint of Minneap-
oils. and the contest promises to be
a thriller with the accent on the
thrill. This is the team that came
so very near taking the measure of
the locals few weeks ago, and the
|game tomorrow evening will I'M
ldoubtedly be one of the most excit-
ing contests staged on the local floor
this season.
