The city basket ball team had little
trouble in defeating the Seminary
team last Saturday evening at the
high school, gym. The score was So
to Is. Mornings absence from the
lineup Of the losers, was too much
of a handicap for them to overcome,
and his good work in the lineup Of
the winners was great help to them
in winning the game. The game start
ed with basket by Norling in less
time than it takes to tell about it.. He
tipped the ball to Nordstrom, re-
ceived it again under the net, and
Gagged it for two points. The first
half in particular saw the winners
have things pretty much their own
way. The score at the end of the
half was 20 to z. It is long time
since a team has shown such great
defensive ability as the city team dis
played in the first half. Few were
the pot shots offered the Seminary
during the first twenty minutes of
play. With safe lead, the work in
the second half slumped. and the
superior condition of the northside
team also aided them. The score for
the last half was % to 10. Nordstrom
had regular field day, shooting fiji
teen baskets from the field, and two
from the foul line, while his guard
scored but two baskets. Noring
connected for two baskets each half
while Canton, playing opposite him
shot five times during the evening.
Buck Johnson shot three times from
the field, and held his man scoreless.
Rocky Aim came down from the sta
tionary guard position and shot twice.
Holt, playing his first game in a
long time, was a tower of strength
on the defense. AS was expected his
eye for the basket was little rusty,
but he made up for that by the way
he broke up plays, and advanced the
ball for his team. Emil Rannestad
played the last part of the game, and
held his man without a basket. Canton
stars for the losers.
