GlenMood Defeated


The Legion All Stars wound up
the old year in fine style Friday
night, by registering their first
win in three starts, defeating
Glenwood 80 to 16.
A fair sized crowd saw a pretty
exhibition of long-range basket
shooting by Fellows, Glenwood
star forward, and Tourtillott, Lee
gion pivot man; not to say any
thing about some fine officiating
by Herb Lembke, former local
high school star.
In the first half, which ended
10 to 10 for the Legion, Fellows,
who has refereed many high school
games here, began displaying great
shooting form by tossing in four
long ones. Tourtillott got three
himself, of which one was the best
of the game. The high arched
shots, hardly touching the rim or
net, kept the crowd gasping.
In the second half the Legion
had things their own way. Eel
lows was covered and failed to
get set for a shot, but Haldorson
got away for three baskets.
Blaha, who made two in the first
half, Topped three more and Tour
tillot also Gagged three goals to
make his total six for the game.
After the third quarter, which end
ed 26 to IA, the game slowed up,
with Sank Centre stalling and
Glenwood too badly tagged to
try to break it up.
On defense 'Swede' Nelson leap
ed high into the air, when neces-
sary, to intercept passes that stop
ped plays, while Johnson was the
Glenwood mainstay.
