Lake Crystal, November 2S.-The
basketball game between the Lake
Crystal high school boys and Hanska
played Friday evening resulted III a
victory for Lake Crystal with a
score of 13 to 8. Although this was
the first game of the season for Lake
Crystal, the boys played a very
poppy" game from start to finish. In
the early part of the game Lake Cry
stall seemed to have forgotten the
hard work their coach had put them
through in practice, and allowed
Hanska to run up a large score in
their favor. However, when the Lake
Crystal boys finally did settle down
to some real work and brought the
fine team work they had learned into
play, they proved to be more than a
mauch for the Hanska boys, and in
short time the score was tied, A few
minutes later Lake Crystal stepped
into the lead which they held success
fully to the end of the game. AL
though several fouls, technical and
personal, were called on both sides,
1t was a very celan game all through
and remarkable for the absence OF
wrangiing and rough stuff. The Lake
Crystal boys are determined to play
clean game, and when they receive
the cooperation from the opposing
team, as they did from the Hanska
boys, the game is sure to be kept free
OF all the disagreeable features thar
so often occur when the players and
audience lack good sportmanship
the line up Of the game and the
score chalked UP to the credit OF
each player are:
Lake Crystal-Hellekson, forward
Fitch, center, score 2; Warner, guard
score 2; Hanson, \guard, score o.;
Mccormack, guard, score 0.
Hanska-Chambard, forward, score
5; Jacobson, forward, score o; Paul
son, center, score 8; Gamble, guard
score o; Mile, guard, score 0.
Cunningham of Lake Crystal and
Bloomquist of Hanska refereed the
game. Mccormack substituted for
Hanson in last half of game. Hanska
made, two baskets from the field and
field. This goes to show that Lake
Crystal Boys were somewhat better
than their opponents at basket shoot
ing.
The Lake Crystal Athletic associa-
ton have gone to considerable ex-
pense this season and 1t was very
encouraging to them to see much q
good patronage from the public al
this game, and 1t is hoped since the
boys have proven by this game that
they are out to win, that the public
will continue to show the same inter-
est with their presence at all future
games of the season.
