The high school orchestra was in at
tendance, and rendered several pleas
ing selections before the game, and
between halves.
Considering the size of their oppo-
nents the Princeton players did them
selves proud in annexing the long end
of the score. They Waged an aggres-
sive game, and deserved to win.
The roofing squad Of the Princeton
high school made the welkin ring at
various stages of the contest, and
added to the enthusiasm.
Tom Olsen and gentleman from
Elk River were the officials, and did
satisfactory work.
Co. G will again be seen in action
this evening when it opposes the AS
cension Cubs Of Minneapolis. The
Ascensions have had speedy teams in
the field for years, and last season
downed some Of the fastest quints in
the state, including all Of the independ-
ent teams of Minneapolis. This year
they are out to win everything, and the
contest should be thriller. A dance
will be given at the conclusion of the
game.

y The first half was as close an exhi-

when time was called honors were

Kaliher started it by throwing a bas-
ket almost at the outset, and Kaliher
and Raiche each located the net before
the opposing side succeeded in count
ing once. The Princeton defense then
weakened for a time, and the visitors
negotiated four straight baskets. The
locals were not noticeably worried,
however, and before the shrill whistle
OF the time-keeper announced that the
first period was over, Raiche evened
up the score by tossing a field goal.
Princeton scored first in the second
round also, Raiehe throwing a goal.
Eek River secured one shortly there
after, but Princeton forged into the
lead when Berg located the net on a
long shot, and held it to the end. Two
free throws by Raiche increased
Princeton's lead, and then Jesner add

goal. Berg again demonstrated that
