to conquer. The bunk goes on to
state! that Little Falls, the st. Paul
Knights, and the larger independent
teams of the Twin Citeis are backing
away from meeting with the St.
Cloud Knights.
These huskies gave ga exhibition
on the JUNIOR High School auditor
.um floor, Sank Centre, Friday eve
ming OF last week, meeting the local
Machine Gun Company.
They are an average country .bas,
ket ball teanl--no more. If the
games put up by the two teams is a
criterion Of their efficiency and ex-
pertness they could not defeat the To-
cal sttin weeks play on a neutral
floor. Sank Centre has a rather
nifty team but they are not foolish
or egotistical enough to clam that
they are supreme in the game.
In Friday evenings game the TO-
calls literally played the much vaunt-
ed st. Cloud aggregation of their
feet in the first half, the score be-
ing Is to 2. Between halves it ap-
parently dawned upon the visitors
that their champic.lshiD aspirations
had received severe walIop, and
during the remainder Of the game
they We're content to tay and pre-
vent Sank Centre from scoIi..lg, with
the result that each made four points
in the last half, the final score being
- to 6.
In the abb for their defeat lie
team tfys to pick flaws with the
refereeing of DR.. Dubois, clainTag
that he was too leinent in calling
fouls. The Herald is inclined to
agree, but if the Doctor had hewed
closely to the line practically every
man on the St. Cloud team would
have ben removed for slugging.
It is the fashion with the Machine
Gunners when they the defeated by q
