Basket Between Dodgeville and
Mineral Point

The basketball game on last Mon
day evening proved most interesting
for many reasons. The first few
minutes of play were anxious ones
the question was who should get the
first basket. Dodgeville was Mineral
Points equal. One of the men then
put the house into an uproar when
he scored two points for our team.
The way once broken each team mem
Der followed suit and the score piled
up until at the end it stood 49 to 15
in this teams favor. Credit should
be given the team for having played
so well considering the vacation
which caused some to have been
from town most of the time. On
next Saturday the team expects to
play the Home Guards at Platteville.
With Monday night as starter for
the new year and good practice the
remaining part Of the week Mineral
Point surely should come home with
the bacon.
The game between the groups OF
girls of the gymnasium also caused
a great amount of excitement. The
girls played exceptionally well and 1t
is only a forerunner of what the city
can expect in the way Of a girls
team as well as team for the boys.
The girls are putting in much time
in practice as they expect to play one
or two out OF town teams.
