Regional Tournament Won By
Buffalo Ouint
(Ru w r MorUap(

|
The third region basket ball
tournament held at Alexandria last
Friday and Saturday resulted in a
championship win for Buffalo. This
is the second regional penant won by
this downstate team in the past two
years. The other quints competing
in the tourney were Madison, Brain
erd, and Alexandria. -"
Buffalo has a clever team, COM
posed of veterans. They play clean,
snappy basket ball and are an aggre-
cation of clean sportsmen. The Buff
falo champions were runners up in
the state meet last year.
On Friday evening Alexandria
eliminated Brainerd % to 10; the
second contest resulted in a win for
Buffalo over Madison, 27 to 10. The
consolation game on Saturday, be-
tween the two losers on Friday, re-
turned Madison an easy victor over
Brainerd, 20 to 10. The champion
ship game between Buffalo and Alex
was a real. exhibition. Both teams
played exceptionally we'll. The Alex
defense during the first half was i'm
penetrable. 1t was only during the
last quarter that Buffalo had things
it's own way; they made as many
points this quarter as they did the
other three periods combined. The
score IS to 8, does not indicate the
closeness of the game. All during
the first quarter Alexandria lead and
Buffalo's lead the second and third
quarters was only two points. q
This victory gave Buffalo the OPP
portunity to compete with the seven
other region champions in the state
tournament to be held at the Ken
wood Armory in Minneapolis next
week. Buffalo has not been defeated
this season, having won sixteen vic
tories. A team with such an impress
sive record will make fair bid for
state honors.
The All-Region Mythical team
picked by three judges and the ref
cree, is as follows.
Forward-Templin, Captain, Buff
falo.
Forward Hendrickson Madison.
Center-Jo hnson, Alex.
Guard-Anderson, Alex.
Guard-Boerner, Buffalo.
The tournament was very well
attended and from reports given out
by the tourney management a bal
ance will be on hand after all bills
are paid. Supt. H. B. Gaugh of
Alex was tournament manager; j. C..
Henderson, Roosevelt High School,
Minneapolis, referee; Ed Margaard,

the judges and scorers.
