Every member OF the Tswiins
team played big league basketball
throughout the entire contest. The
passing of the team was exceedingly
gratifying. and the shooting could
not well have been improved upon.
Guarding by Bates and Vivion was
worthy OF high commentator. Both
men promise to make remarkable
players before the close of the sea-
son. John Engstrom was high point
man of the evening with II points.
His brother Carl Engstrom, a new
man on the team this year was sec
ond III scoring. with 13 points to his
credit. Everyone that saw the team
Ia action last Thursday now seems
to be OF the opinion that Rawlins
- going to have 4 better team than
ever before. We hope so.
The Sig Alph Fraternity team
was made up OF two regulars from
b varsity basketball team of last
year. and a number Of football let
ter men made up the balance OF the
squad Their team work as a whole
was very fast and clever. and every
man on the squad was a real basket
ball player and a gentleman. The
work OF DE Forest and Banta on Of
Tense was well worth mention. and
on the defense Gish and Miller were
always hard men to egt through.
Campbell, Corbett and Anderson
