Guards Lose
in Two Games
Played Abroad
REDWING AND. HOPKINS TEAMS
PROVE TOO STRONG FOR COM
PANY TEAMS SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY.

On a two-day trip last week the
Redwood Guardsmen played at Red
wing and Hopkins, and left lock Oh
hair at both places. The Redwlng
game took place Saturday evening,
and as the gang had been on the
train all through Friday night, they

own floor. The 1918 score which
resulted from the scrimmage gives
a more graphic picture than any
words. The Blackbirds team which
mixed with the guardsmen on New
Years eve and the gang of shoot
in fools" who swept the soldiers
down the floor for point after point
last Saturday evening, are as unlike
as Henry Ford's plant and syna-
gogue. Van Putten who managed,
with good luck, to snare pair OF
field goals on Redwood's Floor,
brought in seven deuces in the last
game. Pulitzer, who made three
points here, Melted four field goals
at Redwing. The game was fast all
the way through but most of the
speed was supplied by the brides.
Bobzin landed trio of pretty goals
for the company, and Castle, Donlin
and Hoffert all did their little bit
by chipping in with pair of points
each. The game ended 35-13, favor
ing the brides slightly.
The following afternoon, Sunday
the soldiers met the fast Hopkins
aggregation on the floor OF the Hop
kins School House. This game also
ended disasterously for the guards
men, as Hopkins galloped off with

his shooting considerably. The loca
gang went in spurts, and severa

would get cold feet from being OF
ice, but the Hopkins tossers, or rath
er, Joe Hutton, always managed t.
sink enough counters to get tn,

ever, though Hutton played a yer,
spectacular game, sinking shot
from the center of the floor when
ever he got the ball, the rest of tn

Prang and Donahue, two of tn
strongest guards in this section Q
the universe, rode Donlin and Castl
throughout the game, and their scor
ing was considerably slowed up, a
result, although each sunk severa
counters. Polly Gaasch was no
with the soldiers in either of tn
games, and fans who saw the strue
giles are wondering whether thi
could possibly have had any effect 0
the defensive systems of the guards
men. All the members of the soua

tie at both towns and it is consider

games, as their opponents were DOS
sibiy among the strongest in tn
state this season.
