1921 in Favor of Selby.
In the first day Of the tournament
the local high school team took the
sturdy Lennon team into camp to
the tune Of 27-14. In the first half
the boys showed speed and some
splendid team work that won for
them considerable admiration and
q rating amongst the faster teams
competing for honors. The forward
center triangle struck their regular
form and stride and scored quite
regularly. Mahoney scored five field
goals and three free throws; Plut
four and Stapleton three field goals.
Owing to the aggressive playing OF
the center the guards did not get up
into the forward section as fire.
quently as usual, and Minder did
not get his usual two or more goals.
Scoring for the Lennon team
vas also quite equally distributed
among the forwards and center.
They outweighed the locals consid-
erably. but lacked somewhat in
science and finish.
The Selby team, to which the To-
Gals lost on the following day, was
likewise heavier though in the opin-
ion of dopsters not as finished. Our
boys had been doped to win this
game in rather hard fought bat
tie. The team, however. failed to
strike their stride in the first half
of the game thereby permitting Sell
BY to get considerable lead. In the
second half they came back strong
and both out played and out scored
the opposing team, but it was too
late to win victory from defeat. The
score at the end of the first half
was 27-5 and at the end of the game
1921 in favor of Selby. The Selby
team have for some time been in
charge of a coach recently from
Minneapolis and should have been
quite up-to-the-minute in science of
the game Dame rumor circulated
much noise in their favor before
any Of the games began. With them
they had large following Of root
ers including the superintendent
and the major part Of the high
school as we'll as many Of the prom
inent fans Of their city.
Future Looks Bright
The greatest thing that was ac-
complished for the locals and that
which speaks we'll for the showing
they made is the fact that next year
ve can get on the schedules of the
best teams in the district. Coaches
ana managers Of Redfield and Clark
have promised US dates for south
ern trip. Aberdeen Selby and Mo-
bridge for a western trip and we
have the main line from Milbank
to Aberdeen for short trips. Some
Of these can be scheduled with re-
turn trips and some without. What
this means to our team for next year
cannot be over estimated. It is val
liable, first because, It will save us
a rating with the best teams Of the
district on basis of schedule: Sec
ondly, It will acquaint US with the
Individuals and with the style Of
play Of the teams we shall have to
meet later in the tournament: third
