and Wins by a Count
of IA to z.
Princeton Girls Forced to Acknowl-.
edge Athletic Supremacy Of
the Mora Maids.

- OAAS-sO1 VIC largest -CIOWOS Ol VNe
season was on hand Friday evening
at the Armory to witness the basket
ball games between the Mora and
Princeton high schools
With two Of their stars out of the
lineup the Princeton girls were at
considerable disadvantage, but j even
at that, during the first half they
battled on almost even terms with
their opponents, the count being 2 to
0 in favor of the visitors when the
period ended. The second half was
heart-breaking from local view
point, however, as the Mora maidens
propelled the ball through the net on
five different occasions, while when
the Princeton girls attempted, TO
count, the basket had the unhappy
faculty of Guiding the ball in a man
ner that was absolutely provoking.
The Princeton girls have one VIC
tory to their credit over Mora this
season, which tends to soften the
grief. The two teams lined up as fol-
lows:
Princeton Mora
Janice Umbehocker. F.Iva Peterson
ANITA Davis ..........L. F......... Evelyn Olson
Sadie Penhallegon.. ............ Hannah East
Myra Dickey..............R. Olga johnson
Grace Staples-..........L G.........Nora Selstead

the second half. ssz
The contest between the boy teams
was a sizzler, and the Princeton lads
played particularly fast and aggres-
sive article Of basket ball. In every
department of the game their superb
GRITTY over the visitors was so marked
as to leave no room for doubt as to
which was the better team. Superb
passing featured the work of the
locals, and their showing was most
gratifying, as they were opposed by
team that from the exceptionally
husky center down had a considerable
advantage in weight and reach. The.
final count was Ii to z.
Mora scored first, being awarded
free throw shortly after play start
ed. A few minutes thereafter the
referee called another foul on, Prince
ton and the visitors counted again.
The Kanabec county athletes did not
remain in the lead very long, however,
as Berg soon tied the score when he
stopped a rapid pass and brought the
crowd to its feet by negotiating a
basket from the center of the floor.
Raiche> dropped one through the net
shortly thereafter, and when he fol-
lowed this with free throw Prince
ton had lead of three points. Mora
secured it's first field goal at this
stage of the game, but Princeton held
it's lead when Jesmer planted the ball
through the net. Before the time
keepers whistle sounded the visitors
negotiated another free throw, and
the count at the end of this period
was z to 5 in favor of Princeton.
The clever defensive play of the
locals featured the second half, and
during this round the Princeton de-
Tense was penetrated only once. Dur
ing the first few minutes of play
Mora secured it's only goal of the half,
which tied the score temporarily. Grow
broke the tie by tossing the sphere
through the net, and then Raiche
added to the gloom Of the visitors by
taking two shots at the basket, count
ing upon each occasion. The scoring
ende when Raiche negotiated free
throw, which was needed to make the
score stand at the ratio Of to 1.
