ELY WINS ONE
AND LOSES ONE.
THE STOUT BOYS AND ELY PUT
UP TWO RATHER SLOW
CONTESTS.

The Stout Institute of basketball
] shooters were here Friday and Sat-
urday evenings and helped our boys
amuse rather light audience with
, two exhibitions of slow and UNI
: eventful playing. Fridays game
was all Ely and Stout was outclassed
in every phase of the game. Dins-
more for Ely chalked up two bas-
kets before the score keepers had
settled comfortably in their seats.
Lindbeck got two free throws short
ly after this and both counted Just
before the quarter ended Chinn
Gagged long one from the side.
The second quarter was repetition
of the first. Kowalke started with
field basket. Dinsmore followed
and next Kowalke and Lindbeck
Hardy of Stout connected with a
long one and the half ended with
the score 16 to in Ely's favor.
Ely switched their lineup in the
third quarter and Stout started with
rush, Allen scoring two from the
field and Setter getting one. After
this rally on the part of Stout, Ely
frightened up and allowed the visit
ors only free throw for their share
of the game in the third quarter.
Chinn, Lindbeck and Somrock each
added a field goal as their contribu-
ton in the last quarter and Chinn
also made a free throw. The game
ended ,27 to in favor of Ely. Tom
Murn refereed in his usual efficient
manner.
Saturdays game was surprise.
Everyone expected Ely to win easily
and the overconfidence cost the
local team the game. The lineup
was the same as on the previous
evening. Stout scored first and
never was headed. Richard scored
twice and was followed by Allen
and Smith in the first quarter
Lindbeck made two and Kowalke
one in this frame and Stout lead 8
to 6. Richard made another in the
second period and Setter made a
free throw. Mndbeck chalked up
another basket for Ely ami the half
ended II to against the home
boys The third quarter was a wild
and woody one and ended 10 to 10
in favor of Stout. Referee Baldauf
was kept on the jump during this
and the balance of the game. Ely
tried to break up the lead secured
by the visitors but to no avail and
the game ended % to 20 in favor
of Stout. Lindbeck was the high
point man for Ely with FIVE field
baskets and Setter was high man for
Stout with four field baskets. Ely
scored nine field baskets and Stout
ten in this game. Ely made two
free throws out of nine chances
i
while Stout made three count out
of six.
