those with sufficient capital to control
more money to carry Crucible on mar

is believed, like the 500, 2,5O0,OOO con-
signment last month, to represent part

WINS FINAL GAME
Local Basket Ball Five Closes Range
Season by Defeating Iron Mt

In a game that can hardly be called
fast, tho it was livened at times by |
flashes of brilliant playing, the crys-
tai Fails High School basket ball team
defeated Iron Mountain high school
Friday night In Forest Park Gymnas-
ium 81 TO Is. The game closed the
range season for the local FIVE. and
gave Coach wright's charges a record
OF eight victories and no defeats for
the year; the best record OF any
range team.
The Iron Mountain team was delayed
because OF demoralized train connec-
tions, and did not get onto the fioor
until $3.50. but when the game began
they showed no delay in starting the
scoring. Nowatski. Iron Mountain
center. scored n pretty basket two
minutes after the toss-up. Interfer-
ence on the part OF the crowd cost
Crystal Falls basket that would
have tied the score. Then Iron Moup-
tain got busy and made II s, while
Crystal Falls was gathering in two.
For the first ten minutes 1t looked as
tho the score OF two weeks ago would
be reversed. Toward the middle OF
the half the locals began TO play ball.
Baskets by Kiern and Guenther made
the score 16 to at the end OF the per-
iod.
The second half was Crystal Falls
all the way. Nowatski continued TO
make brilliant shots, and Carlson.
Iron Mountain forward. registered 3
counters, but the team work OF the To-
Gals was vast improvement over the
showing OF the first half. Peterson
and Larson, both at center, lead the
scoring for Crystal Falls during this
period. the former getting four bas-
kets and the latter two. Plickta sub
stituted for Aeschliman shortly after
the beginning OF the half, did good
work in cutting off Iron Mountain bas-
kets. The final score was 81 to Is.
Iron Mountain played the game un-
der difficulties. They did not arrive
until Sis. Most of the afternoon had
been spent waiting for the train In
Iron Mountain. The trip up from Sta
ger was made in a crowded caboose.
They started the game without taking
the time to get supper. AS result
they were hardly in condition to play
their best.
