WINNERS FROM
WASHBURN MEN
Game Results in 33-17 Score
For Locals-Well Played,
But Minus Thrills

The Phantoms won a 80 to II vic
tory over the Washburn Independents
last night in a game which was well
played, but which offered few thrills.
Having apparently lost their bear
lngs on the Bismarck high floor,
much larger than their own, the
Washburn men allowed baskets to be
tossed from all angles. Defense went
by the boards and the Phantoms had
an easy time working the ball under
the basket and tossing it in.
In the first quarter, Washburn
managed to keep the score within
bounds and at the end of this period
i was only 8 to 4 against them. They
began to slip in the second quarter
and the local cagers made the score
Is to z. The third quarter was con-
tinuation Of the Phantoms' score
string, ending with % for them to IL
for the Miners.
Scores continued to pile up in the
last quarter, although not so speedily,
Washburn making determined rally.
Tho final score was 80 to IN
The Scorers
Haus started the scoring for the
Phantoms with short one just after
the first quarter opened and Green
! field and Slattery each contributed q
field goal. Gray made two, Slattery
two and Greenfield two during the
second quarter, one of Ted's coming
when he knocked the ball in ut the
tip-off.
For Washburn, Grothe and
Schweitzer. forwards, made one goal
each and Chessworth donated goal
and a free throw during the first
two periods.
The last half of the game, Haus and
Greenfield were heavy scorers, the
latter with four goals and the former
with two, while Gray made one. All
of these shots came from close under
I the basket, with Washburn furnishing
little opposition.
Grothe was Washburn's high scorer
during the last half, making two
goals, while the remainder Of the
points came from Chessworth, with
one field goal and three free throws,
and from Schweitzer with one free
throw.
In the last quarter, Washburn
seemed to be little better informed
concerning the best methods to use
on the local high school floor and if
they had played during the entire
J. game with the fight they showed at
this time, the score might have been
little closer.
. Schweitzer played a good game for
Washburn at forward, while Grothe
also did we'll. Chessworth, at center,
was the Miners star. Schulz, Ander-
son and Thorstensen were the guards.
Smooth Teamwork
For the Phantoms, mention of the
men who starred would require a
word for each one, for their smooth
teamwork was one Of the features of
the game. A noticeable lessened
number of wild passes was evident
and the shooting was much more &C
curate.
Haus and Gray, alternating in one
forward post, and Greenfield and
Robidou alternating in the other
played a speedy and accurate game
Cor the Phantoms, with Greenfield the
high scorer of the aggregation.
Slattery, at center, also dem0nstrat-
cd his speed and accurate shooting
through the number of points he add
I'd to the Phantom list. Middaugh.
Grewer, Holta and Doyle. alternating
in guard positions, were one OF the
! chief causes Of the Miners inability
to score, breaking up passes and keep
ing the up-river men from rolling up
points.
Tentative games on the Phantom
schedule, with dates yet 'unannounced,
are Glen Ullin and New Leipzig, both
Of them probably being played at
home later in the month.
