Last Friday evening the New Lon
don high school basket ball team de-
feated the quint representing Milaca
high school by the score of % to s.
Milaca scored no field goals, due to
the close clever guarding Of Strand
and Halvors0n, securing their points
on free throws. New London had the
best balanced team they have ever
placed on the floor and worked to-
gether peri city.
The first ten minutes of play were
very even, neither side having the
advantage. Hanson then proceeded to
demonstrate and from that time and
until the last whistle it was all New
London. Formations were worked
that netted them twelve field goals;
the fast passing at times completely
bafled the Milaca team. New London
has mastered the art of fast passing
and the team work displayed in this
game was practically perfect, with lit
tie or no fumblng.
Angel Hanson the sensational New
London center scored twenty of
their points and was in the team
work from start to finish. He was
however compelled to retire from the
game during the last few minutes of
play because of injuries received.
He was ably assisted in the scoring
by big Bill Schey who secured four
field goals altho playing his first
game at a forward position.
Captain Halvorson played the best
game he has ever put up and is a
clean man on the floor.
Hall for Milaca put up a splendid
guarding game.

Morton defeated Madison last Sat-
urday evening by score of "a to is,
and will play Appleton for the cham
pionship Of the southern half Of the
district. But contrary to the report
from Morton, that "the winner Of this
game Will go to Northfield to play for
the state championship" such will not
be the case. At least not until Will |
mar and Alexandria have been dis
posed of. Alex was beaten by Mel
rose, by one point, but their decisive
defeat of Litchfield shows they are to
be considered. But before either Nor |
ton or Appleton can claim the cham |
pionship of the Seventh District, they
have to got to beat Willmar.
What we want to see, is a game be- |
tween the high school teams of this !
city and New London. It is evident !
against st. Cloud, and from the fact !
that Milaca was held without field |
basket last Friday, that they have a |
real basket ball team. Wouldn't a |
battle between Angel Hanson and |
Bckie Erickson, rival centers, be q |
corker. Willmar has open dates dur |
ing the month of March, unless they |
go to Mortified to represent the Sew
enth District in the state champion |
ship games.
The Seminary second team reversed |
the decision against the second high |
school team in the preliminary game |
last Friday evening. Govig and An
derson with five baskets each, and !
EngelsOn with two did all the scoring |
for the winners. Mint LundQuist man
aged to squeeze in two baskets, altho
the Seminary guards covered him so
close, he found it almost impossible to
shoot. Govig also shot five fouls. The
score was 20 to II.
80
