attempt to withstand the diversified
and speedy attack of the basket ball
tossers representing the local institu-
ton OF learning, at the Armory last
Friday evening. It was a contest re-
plete with thrills, and one that kept the
enthusiasm of the largest crowd of the
season bubbling over at all stages.
Outweighed man for man the locals
won the contest by sheer superiority
of team play, and the cleverness and
rapidity of their work. The final count
was % to II.
The victory over Sandstone was not
the only cause for rejoicing on the
part Of Princeton followers of the
great indoor game, however, as the
girl teams of the Elk River and Prince
ton schools staged contest also, and
the local maids displayed reversal of
form that was more than gratifying,
overwhelming their opponents by a
count of IA to 0.
Although rather one-sided the con-
test was not without interest, and the
regularity with which the local lassies
propelled the ball through the net was
most pleasing to the spectators, al
though it somewhat disturbed the COM
posture Of the visiting Misses.
After few minutes of play it was
very evident that only feature of the
| outcome in doubt was the size of
Princeton's lead. The scoring started
when Janice Unbehocker succeeded in
| negotiating basket, and shortly
thereafter Lillian Wetter duplicated
the feat. Myra Dickey then won the
plaudits of those present by negotiat-
ing basket from most difficult angle
and the scoring for this period ended
when Janice Umbehocker again count
ed with field goal.
The second half was repetition of
the first All attempts to score on the
part of the Sherburne county maids
failed, while the Princeton girls exc
cuted formations and passes that were
credltable to say the least. Lillian
Wetter, Myra Dickey and Janice Um-
behocker each negotiated field goal
during this period, making a total of
IA for Princeton to for Elk River.
Princeton had no natural advantage
in size, and the superintendent of the
Sandstone high school refereed, so
there is nothing to detract from the
victory. 1t is only fair to say that all
OF the local girls who participated are
deserving of commentator, but the
brilliant offensive and defensive work
OF Misses Umbehocker, Wetter and
Dlckey is deserving of especial men
ton. The lineup follows:

The real thriller was the boys game
The husky aggregation from the Quar-
ry City with several years of expert
ence in the game, and truly formid-
able reputation for this season, were
opponents over which few of the most
sanguine local enthusiasts hoped for
victory. But with ill concealed adj
mlratlon they watched the Orange and
Black representatives hold the Pine
county athletes to 10 to 10 tie in the
first half, and score clean cut victory
in the final period. -
The first round was nothing if not
sensational. At no time was the mar
gin between opposing sides greater
than point or two. Princeton broke
into the score column first when
Ralche made free throw, and the
lead of the locals was increased when
ne followed this few minutes later
with a field goal. Sandstone then pen
etrated the Princeton defense when
Webb tossed a basket. Jesmer CONT
ed Tor Princeton and shortly thereafter
the visitors negotiated a free throw.
Berg took long shot at the net with
marked success. and Webb for Sand
stone counted again. A field goal for
Jesmer and free throw for Raiche
completed the scoring for Princeton
IN this round, and Maloney for the
visitors evend up the count by negoti-
ating two baskets during the final min
utes. Just before time was sounded
Berg and Maloney collided, necessitat-
ing a change in the lineup of both
teams. Jesmer went in as guard for
