MORRIS WINS GAMES
FROM HERMAN TEAMS
Al to 8 and ~ to 3 Scores in Double
Header Played at High School
on Saturday

terested in basket ball and especially
in the basket ball of Morris high
school were delighted Saturday to see
the home teams defeat both Herman
teams. The boys won by the over
whelming score of Al to 8, while the
girls team was also victorious with
score of 27 to 8. The students of
the high school were there to back
their teams, although they themselves
doubted greatly the outcome of the
game. Most of the outside crowd
came to see the Morris high school
teams beaten or at least thought that
if they did win it would be by very
small margin. But they had the
surprise of their lives.
Stoneberg left forward on the Nor
ris team was the star Of the evening.
He made eight field baskets and three
free throws, making total of 10
scores. Musselman was Stoneberg's
partner and although he did not
make as many baskets as Stoneberg
he was a participant in many plays
which resulted in baskets. His total
score was six. Dale Peterson played
standing guard and one of the hard
est jobs Herman forwards had was
to take the ball past him. Arthur
Splitstoser entered the game handi-
capped. He had been hurt in the
back in a practice game and suffered
greatly. Manford Schroeder took his
place at the end Of the third quarter
and played fine game, making one
basket. Powell played exceptionally
we'll at center, beating his man to
the tip off nearly every jump and
holding him down to one basket
throughout the game. His total
score was Al, six field baskets and .
two free throws.
The game was a whir1wind from
start to finish and the Morris team
showed that, although they are new
at representing a high school in a
game-for there is not on player on
game-for there is not one player on
a high school game-they have the
wind and energy and earnestness.
For the girls game Vivian Flatner
was the star. She showed remark
able skill in shooting baskets. She
made six field baskets. Mary French
made total of seven scores, three
field baskets and one free throw.
She played fine game and surely
deserved the applause she won by
her password and basket making.
Julia LeSage proved her worth also
and made four field baskets. She
made up the team of forwards which
piled up the scores for Morris. Lulu
Nelson and Viola Garberick played
guard and they surely lived up to
their name for the Herman forwards
had so little opportunity to shoot
that they only made two baskets.
Clara Lang at center proved her
value by out jumping the Herman
center, although that person was
taller than she. This work gave Nor
ris the ball at the tip off and it gen.
orally stayed in their hands until
a basket was made.
But neither team could have done
what they did without the backing
it had from the students. It was up
to them to win and they did. So it
behooves every loyal citizen Of Nor
ris to get behind the teams for they
have harder games ahead and will
need greater support.
