the city to be the fastest game of
the season on the local floor the local
high school five defeated the Cassel-
ton quint by the close margin of 16
to 20 Edwards Of the Casselton team
was easily the star of the evening,
bringing the crowd to their feet sever
al times with his sensational shots
from we'll out on the floor. For the
locals there was no particular star,
the game being won by the fast team
work of all five men. Special men
ton should be made however Of Ploy
har. Last night was the first APP
pearance he has made in the first
string five and he gave an exception
al account of himself, scoring field
goal in the last few minutes of play
and worrying his man at all times.
Visitors Score First
The visitors got away to good
start, Otto scoring the first field goal
of the evening. The score was boosted
shortly by free throw, giving Cas-
selton the long end Of a 3 to 0 score.
Wertin got busy and made field goal
and Ford followed it up with another
putting Valley City in the lead. Ed
wards didn't like that very well and
took long shot from past the mid
die of the floor and putting the Wis
itors again in the lead. He repeated
with shot from the tip-off and put
his team on the long end at 4 to Z.
A personal called on Schwoger and
shot by Wertin, followed by field
goal by Ford tied the score at 7 to 7.
The tie was broken after several min
utes of play by free throw by Wer-
tin on personal foul called on N.Y.
rah. A few minutes later personal
called on Edwards added to the score
of the locals. Wertin then took an
other shot at the n:.S ket which regis
tered. In the last few minutes OF
play Edwards chalked up two field
baskets for the visitors and the half
ended with the score at II to II.
In this half Busdicker was taken
out after few minutes, due to his
inability to get started and Ployhar
sent in in his place. Griffiths was al
so pulled and O'Neil took his position.
Valley Back Strong
At the opening of the second half
Ford evidently didn't like the looks of
the score board and decided to take
the lead scoring the first field goal of
the half. A personal was called or
Ford and thrown by Otto netting one
point to the visitors. O'Neil then got
into the scoring with field goal,
bringing the score to II to Is in the
locals favor. Edwards succeeded in
getting the first field basket of the
half for the visitors and evened
ththings up again. Then Mulhair, fig
uring that he hadn't been credited
with a field basket this year and that
it was time for him to show what he
really could do, dribbled down thru
the bunch and scored with a clean shot
The crowd always knew Miley could
do it but were surprised that he
should take this particular time to
show his ability, and went wild. A
personal on Wertin and shot by Ot-
to melted the visitors one more and
brought the tally at Is to II. Ploy-
har thot they were too close for COM
fort and widened the distance by
neat field goal. The balance of the
scoring was the result of free throws
one being made by Otto on a personal
called on O'Neil and the other being
Gagged by Wertn on personal called
on Schwoger.

start to finish, of any game seen on
the local floor this year. Both teams
worked their hadest at all times and
it was only the superior team work
of the locals which won for them the
long end of the score.
