Bluffs Farmers
Lose in Finals

Des Moines, Ia. March ia re-
versal of the sterling form which had
sent the Farmer Motor basketball
team of Council Bluffs through the
early games with flying colors cost
the Bluffs quintet the state amateur
championship here last night. The
Southern Surety team of Des Moines
caught the Council Bluffs team off
form and handed it a 80 TO Il wallop-
ing in the final game. The form re-
versal of the Farmer Motors was al
together unexpected. In the first
round Council Bluffs outfit had wal
loped the Battle Creek All Stars by a
A to 20 score, and in the semi-finals
it defeated the Iowa State Teachers
college freshmen, a powerful outfit.
by 80 to % score.
The Bluffs team went into the final
round a favorite. However. the I'M
usually close guarding of the South
ern Surety team and the uncanny
basket shooting of Denham and Eli
ers of the winners proved too much
for the visitors. Mellor and Chris
tenson were the outstanding players
for Council Bluffs.
