LOCAL SPORT DOPE
W,LLMAR 20, DAssEL 6.

WiLLMAR 20, DAssEL 6.
The Dassel high school basket ball
team gave the Willmar team their
hardest battle of the season, in the
local gym. last Friday evening. The
one thing that saved Willmar was the
big lead they established in the first
period, when by good team work and
clever shooting, they totalled 1s
points, against but six for the visitors
The second period was a different
story, and then the Dassel team did
things up in good shape, holding Will
mar to tie, ten to ten.
The winners showed the best team
work they have exhibited so far this
season, and each man entered into
the play in the right spirit, forgetting
his Individual showing, that the team
might be benefited.
Erickson continued his good work
at the center position, and Gagged the
ball six times from the field, in add
ton to shooting three fouls. Mint
Lundquist came back with a veng'
eance, and shot five field baskets in
the first half. He was disqualified in
the last period for having four person
al fouls called upon him.
Bender refereed the first half, and
started in to call every personal foul
he saw. The result naturally was not
to the liking of either players or spec
tators, as the game was slowed up
thereby. In a way Bender had the
right dope. If the Willmar team is
going to Northfield, they might just
as we'll begin having fouls called on
them now, as will be the case then.
1t will be impossible for a player to
bluff his way thru, and cause the ref
cree to back down after calling the
fourth personal foul on a man, as was
the case in the last half last Friday.
Such things don't work. for the best
in any line of sport, and it is to be
hoped there will not be a repetition
of the offense. The result Of the
wholesale calling of fouls, was the
Punishment of the two left forwards
from the play, Lundquist OF W1llmar
and Larson Of Dassel. It will I'M
doubtedly prove good lesson for the
players on both teams. We have in
mind one local player who has had
but two personal fouls called on him
in three games this year, and it has
not hurt his playing any, as his twen-
ty-one baskets in the three games
proves.

GIRLS II, DASSEL 9.
The Willmar girls team fulfilled
the hopes Of their admirers, in the pre-
liminary game, by winning from the
visitors, II to 9, thus annexing their
first victory of the season. To Ethel
Bergeson went the honor Of shooting
the points which gave her team the
victory, and to Ethel Mckee went the
honors for clever guarding and pass
ing, which did much toward keeping
the Dassel score down. Miss Sundell
of the visitors scored all the points
for her team. The girls team show
ed decided improvement in all depart
ments of the game, and their work
was a tribute to the faithful coaching
given them by Miss Hull.
