HIS. GIRLS
WIN TITLE
FIRST DIS.
WIN OVER BIG STONE BY SCORE
OF 28-14 IN CHAMPIONSHIP
GAME SATURDAY AT
MlLBANK, S. ID.

Last Saturday evening the H. s.
girls basket ball team played the
III. S. girls of Big Stone for the
championship title Of the first dis
trict. The game was played at Mil
bank on the high school floor and
in the presence of splendid house
consisting of fans from Milbank,
Big Stone and Sisseton.
The game was fast and spirited
throughout, but quite one sided az
the Big Stone team was decidedly
outclassed, their opponents having
the upper hand at all times. They
began scoring early in the game
getting large lead which was held
throughout and at no time threat
ened. Though handicapped on ac-
count of lack of floor space, team
work was pretty much in evidence
and often used to great advantage.
Big Stone had the advantage OF
i the toss-up which put the ball in
their territory good portion of the
time and kept the Sisseton guards
and centers ever on the alert. Alice
| Anderson of Sisseton was the out
standing star of the field both In
point of floor work and scoring. Her
fast floor work with frequent use
of bounce, dribble or toss was very
effective and confusing to her guard.
She scored four field goals in the
first half and six in the second.
Florence Trapp similarly starred for
Big Stone, getting field goal and
a free throw in the first half and
five field goals in the second half.
The total score was 14-4 at the end
of the first half and 2814 at the
end Of the game.

Veblen Return Games
On Tuesday evening the return
games we're played with the vebleu
high school teams. These games
were splendid demonstration Of
some very fast basket ball, featur-
ing team work in particular, but
were rather too one-sided from the
spectators point Of view. The score
of the girls game was 1872 at the
end Of the first half and 31-2 at the
end of the game.
The boys game was great deal
faster and of better type than the
score would seem to indicate. Scor-
Ing was quite we'll distributed thru
out the team and some very good
team work was much in evidence.
The first half ended with score of
1876 and the second half 34-11. The
visitors, in spite Of the odds against
them played perfectly clean game
and put up very hard fight to the
end. Not foul was called on them
during the entire game.
