On our home floor some en-
lthusiastic basket ball fans wit
messed the defeat of Mondamin
by a score of 46 to 10. We have
lost two games and won three,
and come out to see us win the
fourth one December 21, from
tCOuncil Bluffs.
Before the game started some
enthusiastic yells were given by
the student body, j. S. McGavren,
Jr., leader, to show the team that
they were behind them.
Promptly at $3.50 the husky
farmers appeared on the scene,
and the battle was on. Neither
side was able to do anything for
a while, but finally our friend
Williams started the ball rolling
by capturing the ball, and shot a
long pass to Chaloupka, who made
the first basket.
Mondamin crowded in few
scores by baskets and few by
fouls. But that is as far as they
got, for subs were rushed to the
assistance, and our opponents
succeeded in getting no more.
AT the end of the first half the
score was "a to 10 in our favor.
In the second half we deter
mined to make it 46 and this we
did. 10 keep us from piling up
any more scores, Mondamin
rushed sub after sub to their as
sistance, but of no avail.
Remember December 81. Come
up to the high school gym and
help us defeat Council Bluffs. We
need your assistance. Lineup:
