7. M. c. A. Basket Ball Team of
Mankato Defeated 10 to 16 Satur-
day on Local Floor.

That the basket ball team of the Tur-
ner Zoegling is one of the fastest in the
state was shown Saturday evening when
they met and defeated the fast Y. M.
C. A. team of Mankato, who have held
the championship of that city during the
past season.
Altho the score at the end of the first
half stood in favor of the New Ulm boys
by majority of ten points the game was
one of the best played on the local floor
this season. The game was hard fought
from beginning to end and altho featured
by many fouls by the Mankato players
and also some by the New Ulm team, it
was interesting while it lasted. The
score at the end of the first half stood
IL to 2 and the final result was 10 to Is.
The game started with hard fighting
by both teams and it was only after
many minutes of hard play that the local
quint managed to secure a basket. But
once a way is found the local boys are
not content with one small basket and
before the half was ended they made
three more. To these were added four
points made by Herzog from the foul
line
In the second half the visitors took a
squirt and crept up to within four points
of the Zoegling score before the New Ulm
boys shot a basket. Then they divides.
the field goals between them and the
visitors were unable to come up to the
required point. Altho they tried their
best the visitors could not overcome the
ten point lead of the first half and altho
they got twice as many points as the
locals in the second half they were three
shy when time was called.
The Mankato team was often called
for holding and pushing and at the end
of the game had sixteen fouls marked
against them, five of which had been
made into points by Herzog. The
Zoegling team also had nine against them
of which but two were made into points.
Altho the decisions were sometimes re-
ceived with little dispute on the part
of the visitors the game passed without
any rumpus.
Heymann, the right guard of the
Zoegling team, got most of the baskets
for them, making two in the first half
and one in the last half, mostly distance
shots. Herzog also got two baskets, one
in each half, while Muesing and Schaefer
each made one. Altho Brust did not
make any baskets he played a good all
around game and kept his man down to
one basket. The team work of the
Zoegling was not what it once was but
this is no doubt due to the fact that they
had not played for several weeks
Thus far we have been relating the
facts concerning the home boys but we
cannot forget the visitors as they were
worthy foemen. Although ov REQ ne by
ten point lead in the first half they came
back bravely and gave the boys hard
tussle for the honors. Coon, White and
Jensen each made couple of baskets for
their team, the other field basket being
credited to Johnson. White also made
two points from the foul line. In the
latter part Of the second half Miller went
in for White who was taken out, having
four personal fouls called against him.
Miller also played a good game and
helped keep the IDEAL boys down. Jensen,
the right guard for the visitors, played
strong defensive game and often broke up
the team work of the local players.
The Zoegling VIII play another good
game here next Tuesday evening when
they will oppose either Lamberton or the
Morgan White Sox. Both are fine teams
and a good game is assured. The Nor
gan White Sox are out for the state
championship but the local players are
sure to give them a hard battle if they
do not defeat them.
A preliminary girls game was played
school, one made up of Junior and Fresh
men girls and the other of Sophomore
and Senior girls. The game was closely
contested and at the end of the game the
score stood 20 to ID in favor of the Sopho-
more-Senior team.
