Carbon Gains Another Victory!

CarDOn OalnS AhOtner VICTORY.
Carbon Boys were victorious in
hard fought contest with Bearcreek, at
Bearcreek Friday night, by a score
of 14-16. The game was western
epic of roughness according to Coach
Clinger's description and although
Carbon was out-weighed virtually Is
pounds per man they off -stood the
courageous plunging of their larger
opponents. Bearcreek has good team,
according to Clinger's estimation, and
time will round them into a combina-
ton which will be hard to beat. They
were at handicap Friday night, as
was Carbon by having players who
were sick. The Bearcreek team will
hold their end up throughout the sea-
son and if the dope runs smoothly
Carbon boys will have to play at their
best in January to score another vic
tory-if they do.
/ fAIlObllCI lSSue tlldl SOih-
] ment is the support which the towns
i people give their team-Are the
townspeople Of Red Lodge ashamed of
their team or don't they care to sup
/ port them? 1t means lot to the
boysl
Bearcreek coach and faculty were
very congenial in many respects and
showed favor by admitting our stud
ents for half price.
The evening opened with great
surprise. Red Lodge All Stars (but
not Friday night) and Bearcreek Big
Bears made few wild passes at each
other. The Bearcreek town boys must
have had a magic wand up their
sleeve; because our hero who seemed
sure Of an overwhelming victory wilt
ed like plucked rose in the hot desert
sands. Away galloped the four coarse
men dropping the ball about the circle
in hail storm profusion. Some say
our knights had the buck-yager; but
as the writer saw it they had the blind
staggers accompanied by tinge of
creeping paralysis.
Gentlemen" stoically smiled the
captain, "we're beat!"
"Is the game over" quizzed pant
ing player, 81 thought it was only the
first half"
Had it been only the first half, our
town boys would have given them a
good trimming as they came within
two points of doing at that, and made
all the points the last 80 seconds of
play. The score ended as near as can
be figured 14-16.
The greatest event of the game
came when Captain Scott, stood alone
and while thinking he changed his
mind 50 suddenly. it threw his knee
out of place. Revenge is Sweetheart
creek Town will meet our All Stars
here some time in the near future
as the main event.
7 The high school game started with
clean basket tossed in by Toffer. A
few minutes before the close of the
, first half the score stood IL to but
three rapid made baskets ended the
half 1912. Two baskets each were
e thrown in second frame. However
t Carbon boys with their superior pass
+ ing ability retained the ball better
Y than three-fourths of the entire time
but were sadly off in their seeming
8 sure shots.
: Equal credit is due every player
each one functioning perfectly in
t second half. 1t is the best game and
r hardest our boys have engaged in
/ Thompson undoubtedly gave the spec
= tators the greatest surprise Of the
e evening by his being able to team
e perfectly with his mates; this is
: rather unusual for a player who has
0 worked on different combination up
e until few nights before the game.
Q Dake used better generalship in call
s ing time out, shifting men to fit GER
tain defense and better checking than
before.
