willmar 22--n6urdock 20.

The Willmar High School girls began
their basket ball season at Murdoch
last Saturday evening, and though 1t
was a dearly won victory there Is no
question of the superiority of the Will
mar quintet. In the latter part of the
first half the Murdoch girls showed
good team work and led in the score
for a few minutes, but Willmar got wise
to it and thru good defensive of the
guards, field shots for Murdoch were
slackened. Ruby Bitterness at jumping
center played good floor work and fast
and aggressive defense. Florence Paul
son kept her opponent busy looking for
her and played good team work; while
Estelle Lundquist kept away from her
guard and negotiated nine field goals,
playing equally we'll in every phase of
the game.
The girls had only been out to pratice
twice and no doubt there will be much
improvements, considering judgment
shown, and their determination to lead,
| a star team as expected. For the Muir
dock quintet Miss Rosemier played a
good offensive, getting nine field goals
