another basket making the score 15-
9. Jtanecke and Westphal each add
ed point near the end Of the quart
ell making the total 1910 where il
remained for the quarter.
| The fourth quarter started cut as
| if it would be repetition of the
third, McDermond made a short bas-
ket bringing the score up to 1912.
/ The teams were both frantic to cincll
the game and Long Prairie succeeded
in getting two long shots near the
end of the quarter, making the score
I20-12.
J The defense of Nelson and offense
of McDermond were the outstanding
/ features of Sank Centres players.
/ Nelson stopped two players many
times when it seemed a sure score
| for Long Prairie. He was unusually
fast in getting the ball into play be-
fore Long Prairie could form their
defense. McDermond played one of
the best offensive games of the year
he was almost as hard to stop as
"Red" Grange but he didn' seem to
be up to his usual shooting form.
Janecke played very good defen-
sive game, it was very hard for his
opponent to get free for a pass as
Arnold stuck as close to him as a
piece of iron does to a magnet. cred"
Pierson was handicapped by a bad
knee but played very good often
sive game. He outjumped his OPP
ponent Westphal, practically every
time. "Red" was also very efficient
in shaking loose from guard. Hines
played a very good game at guard
He was outweighed though by any
one of the Long Prairie boys by forty
pounds, thus his guarding game was
handicapped considerably. Hines
strong point was his ability to get up
into the air get free ball before
a taller opponent could get at it.
Cliff was handicapped by his NINA
ture size. He did well though while
he was in the game.
Long Prairie's strong men were
Westphal, Meichsner, and Geer. West
phal and Meichsner being very good
on defense. Geer was very clever
man with the ball and hard to stop.
Ross and Strack held up their end of
the game well. Westphal was forced
out of the game on fouls in the be-
ginning of the last quarter. The
rangy Long Prairie team should
make a fair bid for the tournament.
They are all very clean and straight
players, putting up good exhibition
of basketball.
Mr.. Adams Of st. Cloud Teach
ers' College refereed the game and
did very good work.

The Seuk Centre Boy Scouts and
Long Prairie Seconds tangled as a
preliminary game Friday evening and
the Sank Centre buddies came out of
the fracas with 18 points on their side
of the score board and the Long
Prairie with only five.
The outstanding Sank Centre star
was Edward Peterson, otherwise
known as cole" The Long Prairie
boys were unable ITO stop him from
scoring as he pleased. He dropped
in six double counters leaving two
for Arneson who played center on
the team. O'Gara played a good
game but was weak on defense. He
took unto himself two free throws.
Schoenhoff played very good game
at stationary guard; he stopped many
shots which seemed. sure countless for
Long Prairie. Aloysius lilies played
a very good game on defense but was
slightly weak on offense.
Due to the unfamiliarity of the
writer with the names of the Long
Prairie players, no outstanding star
can be picked out. C. Strack, though
made l.. Prairie's two field goals. Com
ing H. S. stars can be seen in the
work Of the Seuk Centre Scouts, es-
pecially Peterson, the flashy forward.
Peterson, O'Gara and lilies are So
phomores while Schoenhoff and Arne-
son are Juniors.
