Some people have been wonder
| ing if it is possible to beat thu
Scouts, and we are now in posi-
ton to inform them that it is. Fol
this purpose, we recommend team
which averages at least 80 pounds
per man heavier than the Scouts
and a floor small enough so that
they can bring their weight to bear
Under these conditions, it can be
done, and these were the circum.
stances which were in force last
Friday night, when the Ondossagor
High School team nosed out the
Scouts by score Of IA to IL.
In spite of being defeated, the
Scouts put up one of the best ex-
hibitions of basket ball which they
have shown so far, and on floor
large enough to let them escape the
effect Of the superior weight of
their opponents, they would surely
have won in no uncertain fashion.
They showed all kinds of speed, and
an unlimited quantity of that good
old Anglo-Saxon quality which is
not usually mentioned at pink teas,
but which is known elsewhere as
"guts."
Ondossagon scored six points be-
fore the Scouts got started, two
baskets by Cole, the star 100 lb CEN
ter of the Barksdale team, and one
by Lindahl, their 6-foot left for
ward, being pushed in by main
strength, in spite of guarding. Then
the Scouts opened up, and ct the
end of the half they had five points
nailed down, while their opponents
were three points ahead of them.
At the opening of the second half,
the orange jerseys, started flicker
ing around the floor at dizzy pace,
and after a hard ten minutes fight,
the Scouts led by the score of IL to
'8. At this point the weight of the
High school team began to get in
it's work, and the tide finally turned
the other way, the final count being
IA to IL in favor of the home team.
AS usual, no one man deserves an
undue share of the credit on the
Scouts side, all five of the boys
working together perfectly for the
teams objective. Captain Scoop"
used the range-fnder to perfection,
with Alton sending him the ammuni-
ton. Morgan's job was to keep
Cole as quiet as possible, and he
certainly did annoy the big center
in most exasperating manner. Too
much credit cannot be given to the
two Sscout guards, for their sterling
defenceA Cease was everywhere at
once, and repeatedly got the tap
from his skyscraping opponent; and
Buds stocky form was usually the
obstacle on which Ondossagon's
battering attack broke. Cole and
Lindahl starred for the Barksdale
team. The line up:

In the preliminary, the Scouts
Second Team defeated the Ondos-
saigon Second Team by the core of
10 to 2. The first half was pretty
calm, but the second half showed
plenty of fireworks, as usual. A.
Carlson's tight guarding held the
Scouts to a lower score than would
otherwise have been the case, and
Hare, their other guard, made their
only basket; their forwards never
had chance against G. Carlson and
Thoreson.
