game between Amigo and Eagle Rivre
tonight
EAGLE RIVER 10; AMIGO 9
Eagle River, with the best balanced
and finest passing team in the tourna
ment, earned well deserved victory
over Amigo in the first game Of the
semi-finals by the score of 10 to 9.
This game was the fastest, cleanest,
most exciting and by far the best
game of the tournament. Both teams
played hard, but Eagle Rivers short
passing game was too much for the
Railroad City boys. The resort town
boys were masters of the situation
throughout the game.
Belongy, captain and forward, and
Hoover, center, did the scoring for
Eagle with three field goals apiece,
while Ewald garnered one free throw
for their 13 total. Hilton, Amigo cen
ter, was the high scorer for Amigo
with one field goal and three free
throws.
Hoover started the scoring early in
the game with field basket. Hilton
of Amigo scored free throw shortly
after this on Hoover's personal. A per
sonal was called on Bent and Hoffman
failed to locate the net on two chances
Hilton scored "a ringer from the cen
ter of the floor, placing Amigo in the
lead. Kelley of Amigo was fouled and
Morgan could not pierce the ring.
Bent Of Eagle was fouled and Hilton
succeeded in getting one out of his
two chances End of first quarter: An
, tigo 4, Eagle River 2.
Second Quarter
A foul was called on Hilton but
Hoover failed to score. Hoover scored
field goal under the basket after a

ter of the court, placing his team
again in the lead. Belongy again found
the basket, tying the score at six all
| as the half ended

Eckhart started at forward in place
of Hoffman for Amigo. Belongy again
evaded his guard and shot another
field basket, putting his team ahead.
