which battled the Eagle Riverites
at the local high school Friday
night, was showed under with.
score of 81 to Z. A fair sized crowd
attended. The game, as far as
games go, wasn't so lively after the
first quarter, but the slaughter ex-
ecuted by the Eagle Riverites was
great and grim nevertheless.
The first quarter was a first rate
game in itself. Both sides played
their stuff to the limit, Eagle River
running up 16 points before the
quarter closed. In fact, the baskets
came so fast that it was hard to
keep them in mind. At the end of
the quarter Ketz and Pride were
taken out and Frank and Thorpe
put in. Taking Ketz out slowed up
the game considerably and Eagle
didn't register point in the second
quarter. In the third and fourth
quarters, with nearly the original
lineup, the score ran up to 81.
The fellows showed much I'M
provement in passing and team
work over the two Phelps games,
in fact, one could hardly realize
that it was the same team playing.
Coach Kracht has evidently not
been silent either in word or deed
but has been pounding his players
right on the tail for all he is
worth.
Ketz and Giese are evidently
slated to do the star playing for the
season, both being consistently
good players. The big feature of
Ketz' playing is that he seldom
makes false move and every move
counts. Giese has travelled far since
he was sub with the Mcrgan-Be-
Iongy constellation that carried the
school to Madison. He is a hard
player, a little skittish but game
and conscientious. Gloyd, known
to the sidelines as "Firpo" and
"Tarzan," did his usual amount of
bulling Sheer beef and obedience
to orders does the trick for him.
He came back strong in Fridays
game after having been under a
slight cloud in the two previous
ones. Mcintyre, who is one of the
hardest players of the team, did his
usual amount of running around,
stepping high like a blooded circus
horse, getting in everyone's way,
covering twice as much space as
most players would, but neverthe-
less delivering the goods in hand
some style. The crowd likes to see
him play in spite of his footraces.
He doesn't know the meaning of
the word fear and has a head for
business.
Argonne played a hard game but
was outclassed. They failed to live
up to the press agent work that has
been broadcasted in regards to
them. In Shorey they possessed one
of the attractions of the evening.
He is only waist high to the usual
player and had the eyes and SYM
pathy of the crowd from the start
He played the game right to the
floor like the little gamecock he is.
The girls game was played as a
preliminary to the boys game and
also had its surprises. The girls of
the local high are fast getting into
the habit of teamwork. Some of
the plays they put across were fine
staff. They cleaned up on the Ar
gonne collection with score of 6
to 0.
If the girls keep up their good
work for the rest of the season
there will be just as much interest
IN their game as there has been in
the boys in the past. Flora Hall
and Deborah Everett do exception
ally good work, and as for the
Walsh Twins. When they get their
Irish up-then watch out.
The game is as follows:
