In Final Period Of Fast,
Close Game. !

Grand Forks high school demon
its superiority in basketball
the strong Langdon' quintet last
night at the z. M. c. A. gymnasium
by defeating them "a to IS.
This cuts Langdon's spree of win
ming games short as hat can before
its appearance on the court had won
pine consecutive contests.
! The squads showed some remark
able team work as we'll as giving a
exhibitions of the trough and
knock-'em-down and drag
type of, playing For Grand
Forks, Loughlin and E. Boo played
the stellar role. Doe cached four
field goals and Loughlin three.
Mausten took the prize for Langdon
with a squirt in the first half making
three fields. He left the half in a
jaded condition and was relieved for
. part of the second period. His re-
turn to the game did not make such
q brilliant impression as had the first
half as he missed many easy throws,
though playing a good helping role.
Few Fouls Called 4
During the first half but three fouls
called, all personals. The Forks
got W of them and Langdon one. In
the last half the locals managed to
three. personals while the OPP
position made but one Free throw
ing was in the discard throughout the
session, Langdon making one and the
failing to tally in two attempts.
Ralph Goodhue, local high school
student and yell leader and champion
cOntOrtioniSt of the same institution,
entertained the fans before and be-
tween the halves with an abundance
of gymnastic stunts and vociferous

by rushing the ball to their oppon-
ents' goal and making W. ~unsuccess-
full attempts to score Mausten start
ed the scoring by throwing a field
goal for Langdon from a position over
half the length of the floor from the
basket in the first minute and a, half
Of play. The squads battled hard for
the next few minutes when Grand
Forks passed through the Interfering
line and H. Boo cast a counter for
Grand Forks throwing from the CEN

regard for the position to cast from
after the Forks tied the tally. The
local team missed the chance to score
by a free throw.
Langdon Far in Lead
Langdon burst out with a fury just
before the first period was half up
and in the space of less than a min
ute made two field goals in but a
few seconds after dropping another
through the loop. Time was called
with the standing 10 to 2 in
favor of the visiting team. H. Doe,
captain of the Grand Forks squad,
got his men together and evidently
whispered some endearing words IN
ears for they returned to the
playing with a break of speed and
after q couple Of minutes hard play
managed to tip one v r the edge of
the basket; The local rooters were
giving the team fine support. Lang
don missed a free throw by a large
margin and Grand Forks rushed the
ball to the other end of the floor
tallying two scores in the same num-
Der of minutes. Langdon scored a
basket but a short time after, H. Doe
closed the first half by ringing up a
basket for Grand Forks. The score
at the end of the first half stood IA
to 10 favoring the visiting team.
Forks Scores First
Grand Forks opened the second half
with a basket bringing the score up
to within striking distance of a tie.
Both quints took a spell at long shots,
casting almost at random some of the
time. scattering the playing the full
length of the floor. Row counted for

a pretty shot the full length of the
court. He seemed to think he had
found a groove or something of the
sort and but a few seconds after tried
another from the same spot with no
results. E. Doe smashed his way to
Langdon's wicker and slipped in a
counter through an ENHANCEMENT Of
arms of the visiting players. Both
fives buckled down in earnest for a
short time and played a fast and
hard squirt, which was only broken
by the referee calling time to clear the
sidelines. L%oughlin plopped in a
counter for the Forks which gave
them a n point lead, 18 to IT. The
rooters oroke loose and for a minute
nearly shook the gallery loose. From
this time on the local quint main
tanned the lead gotten by Loughlin's
basket. Mausten dribbled a figure
eight on the deck but was finally cor
nered in the INT end Of the floor he
started from and lost the ball in the
shuttle.
Iansdon Scores After Time
Time was called with six minutes
to play. After the rest LAngdon
crowded the ball to the Grand Forks
goal and Stevenson dropped It over
the edge. This stimulated the Lang
don rooters to action and they shout
ed. Shoot! Shoot! Shoot 1T I'M"
No scoring was done for a period OF
five minutes when with but a hall
minute to play Loughlin cracked the
ice and speared the basket for the
last counter of the game for Grand
Forks.
