HIGH SCHOOL QUINT
DEFEATS AGGIE CREW
Game is Captured by 10 to 8 Score
Meets Herman High Here
Tonight.

With the score 8 to against them
at the beginning of the fourth quar-
ter the Morris high school basketball
team produced final period offense
that broke through their opponents
defense for two field baskets and the
second win of the season over the
West Central School of Agriculture
quintet by a 10 to score on the ar
mory floor last Saturday evening.
80 Throughout the first three periods
Of the game the two teams battled on
and then the other taking the lead.
At the end of the third quarter the
Aggies headed the high school bas-
keteers by a margin of two points
but were unable to hold this advan-
tage against the high school offense
during the last 10 minutes of play.
While the game was close and of
an exciting nature throughout to the
spectators there were few displays Of
brilliant team work on the part of
either team and the play was mostly
of the individual style. Both teams
had difficulty with the slippery con-
dition of the floor and at no time
could produce any dashing foot work.
In team work the high school probab-
ly had a little edge on the Aggies and
also in guarding their baskets. A
couple of the high school two-point
heaves came as the result of team
work but there was at least one
other that came as the result of poor
guarding on the part of the Aggies.
The individual play of several of
the Aggie players was the outstand-
ing feature of their work on the
floor and with the development of
some work should give them a much
better scoring machine. Flashes OF
team work on the part of the high
school team were largely responsible
for their victory. ..-
| According to the score book the
final score was Ii to in favor OF
the high school but after the game il
| was decided by the coaches that one
of the free throws by Ness should
not be counted in conformance with
the ruIesNof the game, which would
have eliminated the chance for max.
ing the throw. 4 y ., '2 .-.@
Ness led in the scoring for the
high school with field basket anG
two successful free throws while Mel.
son, Johnson and Splitstoser eacf
made two-point heaves. Cooper was
high point-getter for the Aggies with
two baskets from the field. Hennine
land CasseH each made one. Honor!
were pretty we'll divided among thu
high school players but on the Aggit
team Negaard and Cooper were th'
outstanding figures during the con
test. Rupert Sirr referred the con
test.
Tonight the high school quinte
will clash with the fast Herman higl
school team on the armory floor. Thi
will be the first district conferenc,
game for the locals and should prov
an interesting affair as Herman viii
be represented by an undefeated team
! of veterans, all of whom wore thei
high school cofors on basketball
floors last season. The Morris player
have been put through a strenuou
week of practice and the contest to
night should be real battle witt
the result in doubt until the fina
whistle.

should be forced release every prisoner that she
has taken and she should be deprived of vesge
