HIGH SCHOOL TAKES
FIRST OF SERIES
Noses Out the Scout Team by
Uphill Fight in the Second
Half.

tween the Scout team and the High
School was played last Friday even
ing, and resulted in 20 to 20 vic
tory for the High School boys. The
closeness Of the score was quite a
surprise to most people, who had no
idea that the Scouts could stand up
to the High School on anything like
even terms. The betting odds were
strongly against them, they were
out-weighed, and were without the
services of Alton, regular right for
ward, but these trifles were not al
lowed to dishearten anybody on the
Scout team, and the bunch tied in
and played some of the best basket
ball they have put on this year,
which is saying a mouthful.
In the first half, the Scouts had it
all their own way, and took the High
School completely by surprise, run
ming up score of 16 to at half
time. The Scout offensive was
working nicely, in spite of the fact
that Morgan never could get the
tap on Kinney, and Haglund turned
every opportunity to good advantage,
scoring five field goals in this period.
The Scout captain has lot of credit
coming to him for his work in this
game; he was working against a
defense that knew him like a book,
or thought they did, and were watch
ing him like cat; and five field
goals under such conditions are a
fair nights work for any man.
Rumor has it that Coach Albrecht-
sons speech to his cohorts between
the halves was masterpiece. We
didn't hear it, but we wish we had.
He quoted freely from several of the
Major Prophets, and made Daniel
Webster and Stephen A. Douglas
sound like pair of stammering,
tongue-tied school girls. Whatever
he said to them, it certainly worked,
and the High School showed a COM
plete reversal of form, and pulled the
game out of the fire.
About half way through the Sc
cond period, Cease got crack on the
head which laid him out for a few
minutes and right there was where
the Scouts lost the game. Their de-
Tense became demoralized for a few
minutes, and Arseneau slid through
for three baskets as pretty as any
you would want to see. Cease got
back in as soon as he was able, and
Arseneau got loose no more, but
the damage was already done.
The game was dandy to watch,
with plenty of high spots, and in
spite of being closely contested every
inch of the way, was remarkably
clean and free from intentional foul
ing, the officials keeping things well
in hand all the way. In the bleach
ers, things weren't quite so calm,
and fights threatened to break out
several times; in fact, someone has
suggested that at the next game, the
players be left to their own devices,
and the referee and the umpire en-
deavor to keep the crowd from kill
ing each other.

In the preliminary game, the Scout
Second Team did a thorough and
workmanlike job of cleaning on the
High School Seconds, Whining easily
by the score of 20 to 8. The Scouts
scored 10 points in each half, while
the High School boys didn't get going
at all till the second half, when they
got one field goal and one free throw.
The feature of the game was Oberts
accuracy, this cheerful forward roll
ing in five circus shows that looked
like hanging out the weeks wash on
windy day, but which counted for
two points per each, just the same.
