The -Litchfeld and >Willmar, High
School basket ball fivesa clashed on
Friday evening in the local gymnasium.
in the second game played between
these two High, Schools this season.
The game. Fridays evening was practi-
callp an exact duplicate OF the first
game played at :Litchf'eld which was
won by. the locals by the score. of .27
to z. The score on Friday evening
was 50 to 13 and as the score indicates
Willmar had merry outing with
Litchfeld las a weak. contender for

not hoWever:as large as the one which
damned the gym last year altho' the
receipts Friday evening made;;,up
quite an attractive figure .:rG
Litchfield had her :" ,represe ntation
down with the team. The rooters were
not as many due to the fact perhaps
that the defeat suffered at the hands
Of ,Willmar discouraged many of the
Lltchfeld fans H. ~ J., -, n 81.
The best Of feeling prevailed among
the audience while on the. teams fair
ly good harmony reigned until in the
last quarter a little rough playing was
noted. IS ... >. ~.
ii. Wil]mar ainaugurated the: game with
a rush whitehall but swept the visitors
off: their feet. With the team built
about. Grace and Hahn the. ball soon
began to roll .thrusthe hoop and the
fans felt that victory would be a clear
one. AL men on: the |Willmar lineup
did themselves credit. William John
son negotiated for two baskets and
otherwise played a rafting good game;
Hahn with his clever floor. work and
accurate eye. registered five, baskets.
His passing and teamwork was. an
interesting feature of the game.
The shining light Of. the entire fray
was the. playing Of Leslie Grace. 1.-THE
boy shot baskets like "a wizard. From
every angle Of the floor he dropped
them thru. Seven baskets were cred
lifted to him. He also succeeded in gain
ing five frees.throW points for his team.
Grace played both a defensive and Of
fensive; game After, shooting a =bas-
ket he would not. permit himself to
Eslow down and remain. idle for anoth-
er squirt as is a ,commo failing among
players but kept right att and: spared
no efforts to keep the team activity
up to a high notch. Grace is indeed a
4 powerful man on tile floor and nuc-
leus about which Willmarsis building
a strong five. ~. IS: ~. Ss;4:s. ;.s.
