The Glasgow courier. [volume] (Glasgow, Mont.) 1913-current, 1922-03-03

The Glasgow basket ball team gave
an exhibition of fast clean playing at
the tournament last Saturday when
they won from their chief contenders,
Culbertson, by three to one score.
The score was probably the greatest
of any championship game played in
any of the nine districts Of the state.
The score was Glasgow 80, Culbert-
son 10. Huston, Baer, Kampfer,
Baker and Lebert stayed in the entire
game. In the first half Huston was
assigned the responsibility of keep
ing the diminutive Hagen of Culbert-
son from making single basket. This
he succeeded in doing. There are two
Hagen boys on the Culbertson team,
the older brother being a superior
guard. 1t was the work of these two
brothers who proved to be the undoing
of the two Helmer brothers of the
Poplar team in the Culbertson-P Poplar
game. The point winners in the first
half were Baer 4, Huston, Kampfer
and Lebert 2 points each. For Gull
bertson Grunst 2, Evans and Hagen
on free-throws. The first half end
ed 10 to 7 in favor of Glasgow
At the beginning of the second half
coach Huber shifted his team to Hus-
ton and Baer forwards, Baker and Le-
bert guards and Kampfer center. This
shift relieved Huston of the respon-
sibility Of guarding and enabled him
to give his entire attention to scor-
ing. Huston, Baer, and Kampfer
started in for splendid exhibition of
offensive playing. The Glasgow for
wards finding they could not break
through the Culbertson guards re-
stored to long shots. Huston did some
: spectacular long distance shooting,
making six long shots in ten minutes.
Baer followed up with two more COM
paratively long shots as it was i'm
possible to get through Culbertson's
defense. Culbertson made only one
field basket and one free throw during
the second half. Huston annexed two
free throws in the second half. Gull
bertson did not finch for a moment
during the entire game in spite of the
hard punishment they had to take
from Poplar while Culbertson was get
ting the scalps of the Red Men. Of
the total of thirty to the credit Of
Glasgow, Huston made 16, Baer 8,
Kampfer 2, Lebert 2. For Culbert-
son, Evans made points, Grunst 2,
Hagen on free throws.
The spectators were satisfied that
Glasgow deserved to win the tourna-
ment. The coaches met after the
tournament and selected an all-district
team. The coaches were unanimous in
awarding to Huston place as an all
district forward as we'll as the cap
taincy of the team.
Culbertson earned their ranking as
second best as they showed superior
fighting qualities in both the Poplar
and Glasgow games. Malta placed
third by defeating Scobey. Poplar
placed fifth in the tournament.
