Final Basket Ball Games

ninQ FRIDAY OF MS week TOT
Final Basket Ball Games
Although unquestionably having the
second best team at the Harlan bas-
lket ball meet, Denison only won third
place owing to the fact that Denison's
schedule called for game with Avoca
| in the semi finals instead of in the
finals.
The tournament was held on the
floor of Harlan's splendid gymnasium.
lAlthough the floor was regulation
size. just four times as large as Dem
isons midget playing area, from the
start the boys responded unusually
we'll to this their first opportunity of
playing on a regulation court.
Harlan Defeated
On Thursday evening in the second
game of the tournament the local five
met Harlan on their own floor. AS
the whistle blew and every man shot
players were keyed up to an unusual
|ly high pitch. iDenison shot the first
two baskets. Harlan followed with
talley and then the playing subsidized
to normal. The Denison guards raced
the ball down the floor and every
member of the team contributed his
full share to the brilliant team work.
The half ended IL to in Denison's
favor and the game was won 81 to
II. Gebert lead in the scoring with
baskets. McMinimee was off form
and couldn't locate the ring though
his floor work was of high order. The
feature of the game was the work Of
the Denison guards; Films guarding
of Gilmore, Harlan's star forward, to
"a zero, was spectacular.
In the morning the boys attended
the musical in the unusually beautiful
Harlan assembly. The girls glee club
|of 80 voices attractively dressed in
MILDLY costume, sang several delight
full numbers. The boys glee club, the
high school orchestra and vocal solos
furnished the remaining numbers of
an enjoyable program.

running it was evident that one. Of
the two hest teams in the, tournament
would be eliminated when Ayoca, and
Denison met in.the semi finals Avoca
played it's very best while Denison
was below par and Avoca won rs to
IS. The brilliant work of the two
Avoca forwards was largely respon-
sible for ,Denison's defeat. Finn again
starred by holding Emert who was
without doubt the best forward at the
tournament, to single basket.
