Co. G. Wins.

The Co. G basket ball team journ-
eyed to Milaca Friday evening and
downed the All Stars of that village
by a better than two to one count-29
to IA to be exact.
The game was played in the audi
forum Of the high school building, and
the G boys were somewhat handi-
capped on account Of the floor space
being much smaller than the Armory.
It was practically impossible to dis
play the usual form of team work.
The first half started with a rush
and the pep and dash Of both quintets
kept the spectators on edge every min
ute Of play. Action! There was plen.
ty of it and some to spare. Milaca
showed surprising form, and almost
held it's own. The count for this per.
iod was II to 9.
The second half was snappy also, but
G started it's scoring machine in this
period and also frightened up on thu
defense. The result was that the vic.
