BOTH SCOUT
TEAMS WIN
Have an Easy Time Against.
HOughtOn and Ashland.

Last Saturday evening both Scout
teams went into action, after lapse
of two weeks without game on
the schedule. Neither team SEEM
ed to have suffered any through the
enforced idleness, and in fact both
of them were eager ITO get into the
game in earnest.
The preliminary game between the
Scout Second team and the Houghton
Athletic Club was by far the more
enjoyable OF the two games to watch,
| and kept the crowd in an uproar all
/! the time. Most people considered
the two teams to be fairly matched,
conceding the Scout Seconds SUI
perior knowledge of the game. but
believing that the weight and strength
of the Houghton Huslaies would just
about offset it. 1t was thought,
however, that the rough playing
tactics of the farmer boys would
cause a number of fouls to be called
on them, and that the Scouts would
be able to get enough points from
them to win the game.
This dope was all wrong, however,
as was plainly evident from the start
of the game. The Houghton boys
didn't rough things up in the least,
and very few fouls were called on
either side. The Scouts Cubs SIM
ply played their husky opponents off
| their feet, and left them grasping
and wondering what had struck them.
It was great demonstration of just
how much can be expected from pure
horse power, in the game of basket
ball, and to how great an extent head
work and speed enters into it.
Such a game was naturally not
without it's humorous aspects. Ha-
gems wild-all charges with the ball
down the length of the floor, which
| are always a conspicuous feature of
the Houghton game, were observed
to the number of just two. He tried
it once, quite early in the game, and
| It looked as if two or three Scouts
would be steam rolled if they were
MT careful; prominent among these
was "Bootie" Ross, who stood on his
toes, and watched his chance; as the
whirl-wind went by, "Bootie" snak-
ed the ball away fsom him like
shot, and sent it back the way it
came, while the Houghton guard went
plunging on, bounding large chunks
of fresh air against the floor, and
fetching up rather mystified as to
who had stolen his thunder. He
tried it again later, with the same
| result, and gave 1T up for a poor
job. And the next time Bodin tries
to guard Paul Robinson he says he's
going to use butterfly net on him.
The Scouts played fine game all
| around, passing well and working,
together like a machine, and not
wasting many of their chances at the
basket.

The main game was not at all in
Iteresting, as the Ashland team only
showed up to the number OF three.
This was not known until it was too
Aate to make other arrangements, so
the best that could be done was to
supply them with the best players
available.
The Bethel Boys Club has "a
Eighty good team, and one that
would make the Scouts exert them
selves to win. They contracted for
the game, and should have lived UP
10 their contract; this business of
showing up at the last minute with
only htree men is mighty poor sports
manship, to say nothing OF being bad
faith. Holman, of the High School
Second Team, Bratz of the Scout
Second Team, and Ted Thoreson play
ed on the Ashland side. Naturally,
team work was lacking and the
game was little more than signal
practice for the Scouts.
