ROCHESTER TRIMS

quintet lost the valentine they had

husky Rochester five 70 the count OF

was a see-saw affair. the locals be-

minute the. downs.aters would take
the lead. This game was the clean
est tilt that has been staged on the
local ''Y'' gym floor this season. the
high school FIVE not following the
Rochester crews example that was
set at their gym earlier in the sea-
son.
Referee Cook also set an example
that the Rochester referee. Barr.
should profit by. every discussion
was clean and no fouls escaped the
referees eye. But nevertheless in
the last couple minutes OF playing
Robbins and Smith placed some
cocky shots which gave the down
staters the game.
The game started with Whitmer
getting the tip off from Captain
Waters and the game of the season
started. every high school rooter do
ing his level best 10 help the team
win the game At the early part OF
the game, Rochester took a slight
lead Of two points up 10 the last five
minutes Of the game when with
some clever work ON the part of
Waters and Buntman they took the
lead and just before the pistol broke

placed another. tying the score
which was ten and ten.
During tho latter period of the
game much clever floor work was
exhibited before Waters made the
first basket, this setting the crowd
wild. the Benders being i'm the lead.
But soon the fight became so intense
that that time out was called many
times. players often being winded
and hurt with minor bruises. This
intense scrapping kept Referee Cook
on the jump in order TO get out of
the way and back into each play
again. once he was not alert enough
and this resulted in a bloody nose
for the overseer.
The height and weight Of the
downstaters soon began to tell on
the locals the Rochester crew get
ting the jump at the most needed
times which often resulted in bask-
cts for them, while the Benders
would work their ball down the
floor with success. but always Roch-
esters' giant guard, Rosburg, would
break up the locals shots. Olsen,
the locals guard. was also putting
up a game scrap az taking the ball
away from the downstaters. nearly
all their counters coming from long
shots as was many Of the locals.
