LOCAL BOYS AND GIRLS TEAMS
BOTH VICTORIOUS AGAINST
WAUBAYITES
MISS ANDERSON STAR
Consitlerating the Athletic Rivalry
Existing Fridays Games
Have Considerable
Significance

Last Friday evening the basket
ball fans of Sisseton enjoyed some
thing of an athletic treat in seeing
the local high school girls and boys
teams defeat the teams of the Wau-
bay high school. Considerable of
an athletic rivalry of which both
might we'll feel proud exists be-
tween these schools.
The girls game was much better
than the final score 2-37 would in
dicate. The locals had possession
of the ball most of the time and
not infrequently exhibited some
splendid team work in working the
ball from one end of the field to the
other by a series of rapid, short and
criss-cross passes. Alice Anderson
was going at her best and was clear
ly the outstanding star of the field
BY clever floor work she continual
ly fOiled her guard and got away
for shots for goal. During the first
half she scored Z field goals and dur
ing the second half s. Capt. Satire
was at all times very closely guard
ed but succeeded in caging the ball
for three field goals and one free
throw. Mable Stavig and Vivian
Lien did some splendid work as CEN
ters being always on the alert to
help either forwards or guards, and
often worked the ball through the
center section with remarkable
skill. Miss Stavig played her frs,
game as jumping center having been
suddenly shifted to that position
owing to the illness of Miss Nelson.
She seldom failed to get the ball on
the toss-up and promptly followed
the play

The boys game started with the
snap and pep that fans delight in
seeing For the first few minutes
the visitors exhibited considerable
surprise at the great Improvement
of the locals since they met in De-
cember at Waubay. Both teams
realized that this was to be test
of real skill and straightway set
themselves to the task. The home
team scored first, getting the lead
which was maintained throughout,
but was at times small, and victory
was not assured till toward the end
Of the game. The team as a whole
struck and maintained it's unity the
best it has during the season. For
wards Mahoney and Plut showed
some very clever individual and
team work. Each made three field
goals and Mahoney a free throw.
Ninder player his usual strong game
at guard and made his usual two
baskets. Shoberg played a stellar
defensive game as guard He is
developing a heady. consistent, eff
fective style Of play. Stavig with
the constant shifting of his center
had a very difficult position to fill
This shifting often cut him out Of
the triangulation with the forwards
and several of his long range shots
fell short. Strain starred for the
visitors, covering tremendous
territory and scoring three field
goals and one free throw Wenger
who played guard and shifted Of
fensive and defensive with the CEN
ter. played very heady game, foul
ed occasionally, and scored two field
goals.
