LOSES TO
VISITORS
GIRLS GAME RESULTED IN A
3-5 SCORE IN FAVOR OF
EFFlNGTON-BOY 23.s
IN FAVOR VISITORS

Last week the athletic activities
of the school, aside from regular
practice, We're upheld by the second
teams, the firsts enjoying a semi
vacation. Two very spectacular and
exciting games We're played last Fri
day evening with the New Ellington
high school girls and the high school
boys team strongly reinforced by
the town team of that place.
The girls game was very fast and
snappy from start to finish. The
visiting team was large and heayy
and composed of most excellent ma
terial out of which to develop a
team. This with their gaudy red
boomers and white middies gave
them a most splendid appearance.
Both teams were considerably hand
icapped, the visitors in having play
ed only boys rules and the locals in
having played only girls rules. This
made the game something of a hy-
brid, retaining many marked and
strong characteristics of both types
of play. The Ellington girls persist
ed in charging in and fighting for
the ball while the Sisseton girls
would resort to floor work and pas
sing and frequently displayed team
work that was quite puzzling to the
visitors and yet much admired by
them. In spite Of these handicapo
and the constantly snappy and spir-
tied playing, the finest kind of sports
manship, OF which both might we'll
be proud. was shown at all times.
Scoring was quite exceptional owing
to the speed and roughness of the
game, the total score being 3-5 in
favor of Ellington. Many shots for
goal for either team resulted in
failures. In point of scoring Miss
Harris, Capt, was the outstanding
star of the field, getting two field
goals and a free throw. OF the To-
calls Mary Thomas scored a field
goal and Marion Hicks a free throw.
Guards, Alma Hagen and Ruth Berge
did some splendid work both in Of
fensive and defensive. They con-
stantly worried their forwards and
not infrequently by fast floor work
and clever passing worked the ball
out of the forward section.

The boys game started with the
snap and pep of horse race. The
excitement and enthusiasm of tho
crowd was at an extreme height.
The visitors experienced some lit
tile difficulty in getting to gether
while the locals were displaying
much splendid team work. Efing-
ton scored first. This was prompt
ly followed by field goal by Sisse-
ton. Towards the end of the quar-
ter the visitors scored another field
goal which was again promptly tied
by the locals. Soon after the first
quarter the home team scored again
getting lead of Ga. Towards the
end of the quarter this was again
tied by the visitors, who shortly be-
fore the whistle scored another field
goal making a total score of S-6 III
their favor at the end of the first
half. The second half started with
the same snap, but the visitors be-
ing heavier and some Of them much
experienced, began to get the better
OF the locals and towards the end OF
the half scored few luck shots be-
sides. The total score at the end Of
the half was 1913 in favor Of Efing-
ton. Madison and Eggen played the
star games for Ellington and scored
