Game With Columbia Was a Furious

The college basket ball team won
two games last week and lost one by
a difference Of FIVE points. All
three games were played away from
home.
The first of the series of three
was played against the University OF
Dubuque. That the game was fierce

the fact that the greatest difference
in the score was four points up TO
the very close of the game. Luther
led at the end Of the half, 10 to ..
About ten minutes before the end
of the half Dubuque took The lead
on a free throw and at the very end

The following night Luther played
Columbia on Columbia's floor. Inc
game was every bit as fast and fur

The complaing has been so gen
eral against the present years num-
Der plates that next year the plates
are to be made after the style OF

to say that il will gradually reach
