DROP FIRST GAME

River Falls dropped the first con-
ference basketball game here Satur-
day evening to La Crosse. The alb
sence of Bethel in the Red & White
lineup was severe handicar, but in
spite of it the locals put up game
fight. 1t was whirlwind battle from
start to finish. La Crosse won the
game by making long shots from the
center of the floor or beyond, and add
ed to their lead by taking advantage
of free throws. The score at the end
of the first half was II to 4 in favor
of the visitors. At the opening Of
the second period River Falls came
within one of tying the count, but af-
ter that La Crosse got their long
range artillery into play and brought
their total up to IS, holding the locals
to IL.
