II. S. QUINTET WINS ].
ONE AND LOSES ONE
Campbell is Defeated 81 to 90 While
Hancock Triumphs 90 to ~
Cyrus Here Tonight.

Playing two games away from
home during the past week the Nor
ris high school captured one by 21
to 20 score from Campbell last Fri
day night and yielded the other by a
>22 to IL score to Hancock on Tuesday
evening. Tonight the locals will
clash with the Cyrus quintet on the
Norris armory floor. The girls teams
of the two schools will stage pre-
liminary contest to the boys game at
1880 o'clock.
Outweighed approximately twenty
pounds to the man and unable to
solve the five-man defense of the Han
cock quintet Coach Steltar's proteges
were forced to take the small end of
a % to II score on the Hancock high
school floor Tuesday evening. While
the playing of the entertainers tended
toward roughness at times the game,
from spectators point of view, was
an interesting and hard fought con-
test and won by Hancock on the mer-
its of a well developed attack and ef-
fective defense. The game was well
handled by Charles O'Connell as ref
cree from Morris.
Mussellman led in the basket
shooting from the floor for the locals
with three successful two-point
heaves. Ness Gagged two and made
five successful free throws out of a
possible seven. Johnson shot the
other basket for Morris. Cosgrove
played his usual stellar game at guard
and Splitstoser and Anderson took
care of the other guard position, the
former playing during the first half
and the latter working the second
half.
-Torgeson led in the basket shoot
| ing for Hancock with three field bas-
kets, Hanson and Macarthur each
made two while Hanson made seven
successful free throws out of eight
trys. Domeke and Nelson completed
the Hancock lineup. The victory
for Hancock gives each of the two
teams victory over the other this
season, the Morris crew having de-
feated Hancock here earlier in the
season. +s
In a game between the girls teams
of the two schools before the boys
contest the Hancock bloomer wearers
also registered a victory over the
locals by 25 to s score. The game
was an interesting contest although
somewhat one-sided. A large number
of Morris fans attended the games.
In one of the hardest fought games
Of the season last Friday night the
local high school staged fourth quar-
ter rally and defeated the Campbell
crew on their own floor by a 21 to 20
count. With but FIVE minutes to play
and the score 20 to Is in favor Of
Campbell the Morris basketeers took
a squirt and Gagged three field baskets
and won the contest by a point.
| D. Sheehan was the outstanding
figure on the Campbell quintet with
four field baskets and six free throws
to his credit. Edner did the rest of
the scoring for Campbell with two
field baskets and as many free throws.
Ness was largely responsible for
keeping Morris in the running score
as besides making a field basket he
successfully negotiated seven free
throws out of a possible eleven. Mus
sellman looped three from the floor
for the locals. Johnson two and Cos
grove one. Canfie1d of Breckenridge
refereed the contest.
