hioh School Wins.

Showing about the best team work
of the season the high school basket
ball team won the first game of their
annual series against the Seminary
Despite their poor showing at North
field and the fact that OsmundsOn
was out Of the game they seemed to
play as good, if not better than they
have so far this season. Norling who
is the main stay Of the Seminary
team failed to get more than two bas-
kets, while Erickson his opponent
connected for seven from the field.
The game was rather one-sided in the
first half ending with the score 10 to
3 in favor of the high school.
In the last half the Seminary came
back in an effort to even things up
somewhat and piled up nine points to
the twelve scored by the high school,
Superior team work, and plenty of it,
was responsible for the points scored
by the winners. For the Seminary
long passes, with occasional team
work brought their points.
The high school jumped into the
lead at the very first, getting three
baskets, w. Erickson getting the first
two in quick succession, followed by
"AIA OAOs 6AVAA6 LACA u OLA
point lead. These two, between them
shot eight baskets in the fiji st half,
with one scored by Sather and a foul
shot by Erickson totaled the nineteen
points for their side. The Seminary's 8
three points in the first half were
made by fouls, Christian shooting two
and Govig one.
In the last half things were more
even and a closer game was played
by both teams, Norling scored two
baskets for the Seminary, while Chris
tian with one basket and foul, came
next. Another basket shot by Canton
gave the Seminary their nine points
in this period. Erickson, Nelson and
Lundquist with two baskets a piece
accounted for the twelve points scor
ed by the high school. The score:
