Fourth Game of the Season by
Score of Is to 10.
CONTEST is VERY EXCITING
Sophomore Girls Issue Challenge to
Other Three Classes in School
and Win Victory.

Last Friday evening the boys of the
Princeton high school had the salts
faction Of putting to rout on the bas-
ketball floor their ancient rivals from
Milaca. The game was hotly contest
ed but ended with score of 16 to 10
in favor of Princeton.
The Milaca boys rather outclassed
our boys as far as size was considered,
but the Princeton aggregation dis
played much stronger teamwork.
From the beginning of the game it
was apparent that the Princeton boys
would win if they had any luck at all
in shooting baskets. In both halves
the ball was kept at the Princeton end
of the field nearly three-fourths of the
time. The Princeton guards, especial
ly Captain Reichard, did splendid
work. While our forwards did not
have the best of luck with their bas-
kets, they played a good game and
did fairly we'll considering the op-
position they were up against. The
centers also did good work.
The Milaca boys were in the game
to win if they could and made hard
fight. At one stage in the contest
when the score was 10 to it looked
as though the victory might swing
either way.
The score at the end of the first
quarter was to 2 in favor of Prince
ton. During the next quarter Prince
ton made two more baskets and Mil
aca Gagged just one. =.
The Milaca players came back in
the second half evidently determined
to win and for a few minutes it
looked as though they might sweep
the Princeton boys off their feet
During this quarter the Milaca team,
added five points to it's score while
Princeton made only one on free
throw.
In the last quarter our boys came in
strong and rolled up five points while
Milaca made only one score on
free throw. The final score was 16
to 10.
Coach Seder of the Anoka high
school acted as referee and apparent
ly gave satisfaction to both teams.
The lineup Of the Princeton team
was as follows: Center, Grow and
Abrahamson; forwards, Sampson and
Hall; guards, Sanford and Richard.
Grow played as center during the first
half while Abrahamson held that posi-
tion during the last half.
It is not definitely known whether
Milaca will be in the conference this
year. If she is, this makes the fourth
conference game our boys have won
this season; they have lost none.
The state High School Athletic as
sociation this year enlarged the fifth
district, to include North St. Paul,
South st. Paul, White Bear, Hastings
and Saltwater. There are now 20
teams in the district, so the Princeton
boys have some competition.
When the sophomore girls challenged
the girls Of the other three classes,
they were not up against quite as stiff
a proposition as it might appear to be,
because they had in their own ranks
three Of the members of the regular
school team. Be that as it may, the
sophomores had the stronger aggrega-
tion. They were one point in the lead
at the end of the first half when the
count stood 6 to s. The final score
was IL to 7 in favor of the sopho-
mores.
The lineup of the sophomore team
was as follows: Running center, Mel
lie Mark; jumping center, Ethel
Shrode; forwards, Laura Cater and
Marjorie Chapman; guards, Marion
Mcmillan and Margaret Jump. In the
second half Irene Sampson took Mar
garet's Jumps place as guard.
The lineup of the school team was
as follows: Running center, Ethel
Sausser; forwards, Mildred Newton
and Joyce Chapman; guards, Helen
Busch and Florence Miller.
Supt. B. F. Hall, who is the girls
coach, acted as referee. Mr.. Hall is
evidently doing good work with the
girls.
