Town Team PoIishes
Off Falls Y. N. C. A.

The game of basketball between the
Great Falls Y. M. c. A. and the town
team on Saturday night last was in
teresting fun for the spectators. This
was the first public game in which the
locals have played and set At rest all
doubts as to whether we will have =
real town team or not.
The local lineup was Pattsner
Gossack and Dolin, forwards; Fluhr,
center; Gillette, Huber and Huber
guards.
The Y team was made up largely of
veterans Of the floor who appeared to
be old enough to play the game well.
The game started at s:So 6efoN y
good sized crowd and after the first
tip-off it was plainly to be seen that
the game would be fast. The Falls
center was half a head taller than
Fluhr and was easily the fastest man
on his team.
1t is unnecessary to go into details of
the game and enough to say that the
Belt aggregation worked like clock
work, the forwards working the ball
down the floor by series Of light
ming passes, then few criss cross
plays and shot at the basket which
usually netted two points The Belt
guards were exceptional and kept the
Y forwards from getting set to shoot
The score, Al to indicates that the
Belt team had all the best of II. The
Great Falls players may be skillful
but they never got a chance to show
it because the Belt team were too fast
for them.
Bill Ffuhr hadn't struck such . gait
since the dog got after him when he
was .swiping watermelons, or you
might put it this way, since his waist
was small "a and the pace brought
great beads Of sweat to his brow and
his legs began to wobble but few
deep breaths drove the film from his
eyes and he came back strong. AY
player would receive the bali and
glance around for an opening. He
drew back his arm and away went
the ball in the hands Of Belt player
who had deftly filched it from his
hands.
We suppose that the aggregation
win be looking for new worlds to
conquer. Before tackling the cham
pions Of the world they will take on
Stanford and the Murphy Maclay
outfit.
The preliminary game between the
high school and grade Scout teams
was very interesting, the high school
getting the long end of the score.
The boys looked nice in their new
suits and promised wealth Of bas-
ketball material for the coming years.

The students of the Belt Valley
High school wish to extend their
greatest appreciation to the business
men of the town for the wonderful
gift-Blue and Orange. These suits
were very badly needed; in fact the
boys couldn't have played without
new equipment.
We did not expect such marvellous
and immediate cooperation on the
part of the businessmen, as the stu
dents expected to help buy the suits.
No words or thoughts can possibly
express our thanks, but one way in
which they may see it for themselves
is by looking at the boys record. They
are out to win and will win because
they know the townspeople are back
ing them.
Have no fear, the Orange will new
er turn to yellow and the Blue will
be royalty worn, but viii continue to
hold its color, and shine as gloriously
in the future as it has in the past.
