The Sauk Centre herald., 1921-02-03
Field of Local Short

Fast clever basket ball, coupled
with confidence and determination
to maintain their record as "Mor-
gan's Undefeated," enabled the
speedy high school quint to cop off a
victory from an apparent tie in
their game with the Osakis high
school here last Friday evening.
There was never stage of the
game where the interest was not CEN
tered on both aggrgations on the
floor. The visitors put the scrappiest
game witnessed in high school annals
this season, the results of the con-
test We're not assured until the gong
sounded in the final quarter.
Osakis opened the scoring in Fri
days exhibition. Sauk Centre did not
get a toe-hold on the game until the
opening of the fourth quarter when
they suddenly "found" themselves
and piled up their winning scores.
The result of the game was 1S to
ID, with no loose fringes to hang to.
The Osakis team gave evidence OF
far more experience in the game than
has been the fortune of the local
team. They are a squad of "old tim
ers," versed in every crook OF the
game and hard nut for the To-
calls to crack. Their victory over
Osakis is considerable of a boost
towards the Sauk Centre chances for
the district championship.
The work of Referee Reese Of Alex
andria, was unusually good and his
services in this game were appreciat-
ed by both teams. The, attendance
at Fridays game was the largest OF
the season, the large auditorium be-
ing packed to seating capacity.
One pleasing feature of the eve
ming was. the entire satisfaction OF
Osakis at the treatment they received
at the hands of the Sauk Centre
school. There was no wrangling and
no noticeable roughstuff. Coming
close upon the. alleged treatment
awarded the local high school team
at Osakis last week when the fans
were permitted to storm the visiting
team, the reception the visitors re-
ceived heer was most evident:
Maintaining their ability to pile
up a gigantic score, the Sauk Cen
tire girls team proceeded to wallop
the Osakis girls in Fridays game
with the usual results. The score
was 36 to a in the interests of Sauk
Centre. ..-
The girls did not put up the scrap
py battle which they staged here
sometime ago with Swanville. The
visitors on Friday were weak, and
were easy victims of the Sauk Cen
tire damsels.
Both the boys and girls teams of
The high school go to Willard next
Friday. bThe following week, the girl
and boy teams of the MeIrose high
school will play Sauk Centre at the
Junior. auditorium.
