HIGH SCHOOL TEAM
WINS TOUGH GAME
THE STRONG CULBERTSON FIVE
DEFEATED-WEE GRIST
OF SCHOOL NEWS

Oh Cne season was played on Cne 10
cal floor. Culbertson, one of the.
fastest teams in this district, was de-
feated by the Wolves 16 to 10. The
Culbertson team consisted of men of
basketball experience The first half
was hard fought Culbertson SEEM
ed to have little edge on our fell
breaking up our defense time and
again. The Wolves carried the ball
to the center and then lost it. The
half ended to 8. The second half
started with a rush. The Wolves
now played a real offensive game
and Culbertson was lost in the whirl-
wind of attack Only poor basket
shooters on the Point team saved
them from disaster. Grunst and
Hagen made a dangerous combina
tion but Cusker and Smith managed
to hold them down.
Leslie Mcneil played real game.
He outjumped Grunst a large part
of the time. In the first half the
Wolves failed to take advantage of
the tip off. In the second Culbert-
son seldom got the ball. We be-
lieve the right combination has been
found and barring accidents or sick
ness the Wolves will make them sit
up and take notice at Malta on Fri
day and Saturday.
Kenneth King refereed a fine
game.
