bunch of husky players by their op,
ponents almost proved a calamity
for the boys basket ball quintet OF the
local high school in their mill with the
alumni at the high school gym,
Monday evening. The game was not
decided until at the close of FIVE
minute period following the last half,
during which brief play the regulars
scored four points, thus breaking the
tie. 1t was a hard-fought battle that
furnished a generous share OF excite
ment to the onlookers. The same is
also true of the mill between the high
school girls and alumni lassies, which
resulted in a victory for the latter with
the close margin Of four points.

lect from and all Of them were given an
opportunity to buck the fast high

stragetic positions and gave an ex-

come rather "rusty" The following
huskies represented the alumni: 'Jim' =
Pfaender, Hilton Durbahn, Anton
Ocbs, Pat" Eibner, Walter Schulke,
Richard Graft, Elmer Pollei, Oscar
Esser and Harry Shapiro. There was
considerable substituting, so that it
was next to impossible for the official
scorer to note all the changes.
