HOLD GIRLS AND BOYS.
Two good games Of basket hall
were played in the high school gym-
nahum last Saturday evening by
the Rosholt and Sisseton mems and
girls teams. The girls game was
played first, and was something OF
hard struggle thruout Both teams
showed good material, but some
! thing of lack of team work which
was no doubt due to lack of practice.
During the first half especially the
locals showed the better team work
and also had the better OF the score
which was AZ at the end of the
half The second half was both
slow and rough, showing numerous
characteristics quite apart from
basket ball. The ball passed readily
from one team to the other and
rarely remained in the possession,
of either for any length of time
The score at the end of the half was
GA in favor of Rosholt. Miss Grover
scored the two goals for the locals
and Miss Mead two and Miss Fuller
one for the visitors.

Mems Game
The mems game was very fast
clean, and sportsman-like thruout
There was considerable fouling ON
either side which grew out of fast
and hard playing as opposed to un-
sportsman-like conduct. Both are
composed of old and experienced
players and showed some very good
team work. Both teams did some
very clever passing and frequently
made some spectacular shots for
goal while at top speed. several Of
which were successful. In point OF
scoring. Capt. Larsen was the OUT
standing star of the field. making
seven field goals. Johnson of the To-
Gals was second scoring one field
goal and six free throws. Capt Aas
scored three field goals and free
throw and Babcock three field goals.
Seeley played star game at center
for the visitors. He Is not only an
exceptional Jumper but very ag-
gresive player and an artist at tim
ing the ball at the toss up. Ac-
cording to dope the visitors lost the
game because Of their low percent.
age of scoring on free throws. They
scored eight field goals and one free
throw while the locals scored seven
and seven respectively. Nine fouls
were called on each team. The home
team scored 1888 per cent on free
