Scobey holding the fast Poplar quin'
to a score of s to II. Soon after
the second round opened the lack Of
condition and poor team work or
the part of Scobey allowed Poplar t.
raise their score to 81, while the 10.
cal boys raised their score to IL
Clifford Wright played the stellar
role for scobey and showed that ever
handicapped, he can make a mighty
good showing with his fast and heady
playing. Poplar has nearly an all
star team who show that they have
and have team work down to a fine
finish.
w. P. Wins From Malta
The third game was between Wolf
Point and Malta with a final score
of "a to 20 in favor of the Wolves.
While it was a close game there was
considerable lack of "pep" during
the main part of the game, although
the last half ended in a burst of speed
from both sides. The Wolves are a
well trained bunch and their right
forward is a basket shooter from the
word go. Malta's right forward
showed considerable class throughout
the game.
The fourth game between Medi-
cine Lark and Antelope proved to be
a one-sided game at the last. The lake
y
boys showd lack of experience and
inability to make use of team work
to score. The Antelope boys are a
fast team and play a good, clean
game.
The fifth game between Saco and
Outlook was a close but raggedly
played game. Two men were put
out on personal fouls, one on either
team. The left forward on the Out
look team was the outstanding a
The 500 Line boys were handicapped
in size but made up for it in their
ability to follow the ball. Saco did
not play the game they were credited
with being able to play.
The sixth game was Froid VS.. SEQ
hey, the former taking 20 points to
Scobey's ~. This was a one-sided
affair, although Wright for Scobey
did some fine work. The right for
ward on the Froid team is a very good
player from every angle.
The seventh game was played on
Thursday morning between Malta
and Medicine Lake, which was fairly
good, resulting in a victory for Malta
% to ~. Wigmore was the out
standing player for the Lake boys.
Poplar Trims Culbertson
The eighth game was between Pop
lar and Culbertson and considered the
second best game of the tourney, the
other being that of the championship
fight. 1t was a strong defensive
game, both sides doing their best
from start to finish. Hagen of Gull
bertson again came in for honors as
did Gruntz, the Culbertson guard.
Howard Helmer, the Poplar center,
was the point maker for the reserva-
ton team and West at guard an e
c~eptionally good showing. However
the team work of both sides was good
and many thrilling plays were wit
messed by the enthusiastic fans.
Win From Antelope and Saco
Wolf Point and Antelope played the
ninth game, in which Wolf Point
chaIked up "a to Antelope's %. The
game was slow in the first half, but
in the last round Antelope improved
and made a good ending to the game.
Smith and Yandell starred for the
Wolves.
Wolf Point played Saco in the 10th
game, defeating them to the tuneof
28 to Z, in a slow game. Smith, Yam
dell and Cusker played a very good
game.
The eleventh game was between
Culbertson and Antelope, the main
line boys getting AZ points to the
branch boys %. Culbrtson very eff
fectively didsplayed their passing
system in the game, with Hagen and
Gruntz playing the stellar role. E.
Grayson was the point maker for the
Antelope team.
The twelfth game went to frold
in a very slow game against Outlook.
The final score was AZ to q. Olson
played a good game for the Froid
boys.
Poplar Champions
Last. but not least the champion
shin game between the county seat
Poplar and Wolf Point,
was played this Friday morning. 1t
was the best game of the season n
worth the price of two season tickets.
Both teams went to it with all that
they had in them and it was evident
they had saved themselves for this
clash. 1t was snappy and scrap
DIV to the finish, one side making a
basket then the other. Poplar took
