HALLIDAY
Wins TROPHY
Defeats Beulah in Elimination
Contest, to State Meet

Halliday, N. D., Mar. EN- the
first game of the elimination con-
test for District Championship held
here Thursday night, Halliday de-
fcated the fast Hazen quint by a
Is to 8 score before packed house
of mostly home folks.
The game while not particular
ly thrilling affair from an indivld-
ual standpoint was marked by the |
excellent offensive and defensive
team work of Halliday and the
clean work o. both teams.
Captain Carlson drew first blood
for Halliday after three minutes |
of play by tipping in one after a
fierce scrimmage under the home |
teams basket. This one was rap
idly followed by another by Chris
Jensen, Halliday's elongated center,
who duplicated the feat few NOM |
ents later to the intense delight of
the home crowd and the chagrin of
Hazen's supporters who had expect
ed to see Hazen walk away with
the game.
Hazen Immediately popped up
however when Moen Topped one in
for a count Of two and added one
on Eric Olafson's personal foul
moment later. This however was
as far as they could get during the
first two quarters. Captain Carl
son, Halliday's forward, dropped
f. one more thru from the foul line
! in first quarter bringing the count
z to 8.
In the second quarter Carlson
and Christensen Gagged one each
(. for four points but the Hazen
/; uuint could do nothing and the half
1 ended II to 3.
Halliday swung almost entirely
to defensive game at the begin
/. ming Of the third quarter with a
! safe lead and Hazen forced to take
! long random shots at the basket
I; was held to one basket by Center
Moen, Halliday failed to increase
!! their, lead but their defensive was
{, almost perfect and the game look
!, cd safe.
/ The last quarter with Halliday
still on the defensive, Bosch and
/: Olafson-breaking up the Hazen Of
/ fensive, time after time, but the
(; team down the line would not be
! denied and Captain Delan finally
/! topped one for two points and a
! few minutes later two more on per-
sonal fouls. This was getting just
]: little too hot for the home boys
I; so turning to the offensive for a
/. minute or two f. Olafson shot the
+: score up to - to 8 with nicely
i placed one and Captain Carlson
/ repeated his team mates perfor-
] nance soon after putting the game
/: on ice with score Is to 8.
!; Captain Carlson and Center
!; Christensen were easily the stars
/: for Halliday, netting Is Of their
] teams points. Eric Olafson ac-
! counting for the other two. Too
J much cannot be said however for
! the defensive work of Bosch and
! ALT Olafson who kept their two
! speedy opponents we'll guarded at
/; all times allowing them only one
I field basket.
/! Halliday Eliminates Stanton
Halliday drew as their opponents
! for Friday afternoons game, the
J fast team from Stanton. Taking
the offensive at the very start of
! the game the home boys rapidly
rolled up commanding lead that
was npHer threatened and the final
result-was never in doubt. Stanton
] never.even threatened at any stage
of B-game for Bosch and Ali
! SOlafson, Halliday guards, forced
I Stan$1N.forward to long and hur.
ried Shots which fell short Of the
goal.
Center Christensen who was
! severely injured in the Hazen game
was withdrawn by Coach Badger
early in the game and Baker was
sent in. Captain Carlson and Eric
sOlafson were deadly in their shoot
| ing even from difficult angles and
NOTED seven field goals between
N them in addition to three points
A from foul lines totaling II of the
I ~ points. The score was 10 To
10 in favor of Halliday when the
final whistle blew.
Reulah Beats Dunn Center 8 to Z
In what proved to be the closest
] game Of the tournament and the
most nerve wrecking. from a Dunn
Center standpoint, Beulah defeated
Dunn Center by q score Of 8 to
III the second game of the double
header Friday, afternoon, and earn.
I'd the right to fight it out with
Halliday Tor the District Champ.
ionshtp, Friday night.
The scare itself tails the story
