BENSON CITY TEAM vs..
Will MAR SEMINARY

WlLlMAl oEMlNAk1
The Wllmar Seminary Basket ball
team went to Benson last Wednesday
to challenge the Benson City team
with hopes Of starting q clean score
sheet as that was their first game Of
the season. Likewise Benson also.
Ellingson got the tip or from Eng
elson and the game started. It was
9 rough accurate game. Engelson had
1t IN for Dudley somehow or other and
threw Dudley up against the wall rust
to see how hard he could fall. Prof.
Harstad seeing this. called q double
foul. Govig shot his foul and as luck
was good, he made It, making one
point for Wfllmar. b. Peterson ,scor.
ed the first field basket for Benson
while Gov1g having the honor for
Seminary. Peterson followed his nice
work with six more baskets, while
Gov1g got three baskets. Holmbere
slipped In clean basket from some
place In field, nobody seemed to know
where because he was SO small he
couldn't be seen with those men. iB.
Peterson and Dudley were the scorers
in the first half for Benson, with. Co
Wig and Holmberg for the Seminary.
Bergeson's man must have pulled
something over on him as when they
fell (hard) Bergeson's man was try
ing to get away, but that was impos-
sible as Bergeson surely made a nice
tackle around his ankles.
The Benson team didn't have much
on rules and of course, they played
accordingly. This ended the first
half with a score of 20 to 10 in favor
of Benson.
Wilmar thought that in the second
half they would have a better show.
Willmar played good game and
every man of Benson's with the excep-
ton OF one was twice the weight of
each member of the Seminary team.
The second half was simply runaway,
game. Willmar didn't seem to see the
ball or else lost all hopes of winning
the game. B. Peterson playing for
ward in the first half took the center's
position where he had full view of
the basket and his man. Ranney got
out and Minikus came in the second
half. B. Peterson took the tip and
the game went on faster than before.
Peterson scored for Benson with
basket. This work he kept up until
five baskets were made and then Eng
elson scored with a fine field basket.
Dudley was a high man for making
four successive baskets. Minikus
scored one and then Holmberg having
hard luck all thru the game speared
a pretty one. That made him feel as
big as B. Peterson. B. Peterson scor-
ed five more fields and Ellingson came
in on one more. Twelve tack fouls
were called on Benson and Govig hav-
ing hard luck got five of them to our
score. Only six fouls called on Sem
mary and Dudley failed for each one.
c. Peterson followed with three fields
making the total score sc to II. They
were no match whatever, but a re-
turn game will be called on the Sem
mary floor sometime In the future,
and then will be the time Benson will
get their rub. Everyone left the game
as happy as when they came.
Peterson made 1S field baskets and
no fouls.
Govig made 3 field baskets and s
fouls.
Local II. s. Runs Up Big Score.
Willmar showed their old form last
Saturday night at Murdoch when they
outclassed the Murdoch team in team
work and basket shooting.
The cause of defeat of the Willmar
team in the two previous games was
removed when scholastically all were
found eligible to play. With all these
players back in the game, splendid
results are expected Wednesday and
Saturday nights when they play Itch
field and Granite Falls respectively.
Severinson, Erickson and Nelson
made each II points for the local five.
Odell at center made three baskets
while Mcdonald and Holt also netted
one apiece. The first half ended with
a score Of 80 to 3. In the second half
Odell was placed back of the guard
and Mcdonald took the pivot position.
The locals then started shooting again
with good results although many were
missed The game ended with a score
of SIS to 6.
Murdoch succeeded in getting only
one basket. There was no particular
star for the Murdoch Quint, but Lund-
quist as forward was credited as the
O0SC pldyST. JUuuSOu WdS substituted
for Odell and Holt for Nelson in the
last five minutes.
Local Girls Win Over Murdoch.
The girls won their second game
Of the season through fast and snap
py play. The game was played in the
M. H. S. gym. The first half was
harder fought than the last. Mamie
was hurt during the first half and
time was called
In the second half the Willmar
girls outclassd the Murdoch girls.
The feature of the last half was the
shooting by Ruby Bitterness who
played forward for the first time. The
