To-day, the vibrant violin to

frain, are still, folded in silent sup
plication.

Game 10.
GaIlatin 30; Wolf Point Is.
Gallatin was the first team into
| the semi-finals and is assured of
a place not lower than sixth. Wolf
Point played a brilliant game but
could not score enough of their
chances to win, Gallatin on the
other hand breaking away to build
up a safe lead in the last quarter
after the Northeastern champs had
given them a hot chase all the way
and we're on several occasions
within striking distance OF a lead.
In the early stages of the contest
it looked as though Wolf Point had
an even chance to win but toward
the end the Gallatin formation
found several occasions to score at
crucial stages.
Charlie Goes Strong
A brilliant exhibition was given
by Rathert, a guard, substituting
at center for Moore who was forced
out before the tournament opened
with an infected knee, which
coupled by offensive work OF Mic
hol and Lang kept the Gallatin de-
Tense busy.
DeFrate was the star of the Gal
latin game, playing an excellent
floor game although his basket
shooting was not up to standard.
The score at the end of the first
quarter saw Gallatin leading 6-3
with an 11-6 margin at the half.
In the third quarter Wolf Point
staged a rally in the opening mo-
ments that brought them within
one point of Gallatin, the score
at that point being 1912 while at
the three quarter mark it was 49,
Is. The final score of 29-1S does
not denote the speed of the contest.
DeFrate opened the scoring with
intercepted pass and collected
a free throw a moment later.
Lang opened the Wolf Point scor-
ing with a free toss and a moment
later picked off a good pass to
even the score. Breeder counted
one of a pair of foul conversions
and a short time later sunk a field
goal as the result of some beauti-
full team play. The quarter ended
with Gallatin leading 6-3.
Lang counted from the gift line
as the quarter opened and Hard
substituting for Siebold,
hooked one from close range that
Rathert evened up after some team
play. Cooper Topped a long arch
that found the opening and Wolf
Point called for time out. DeFrate
counted from the free line just be-
fore the half ended with the Boze-
man quint leading lie.
Second half.
Wolf Point came back with a
burst of speed in the second half
and before the crowd had settled
had sunk a field goal ON
some team play and Rathert had
followed in a long one to take
it off the back boards and score
making the count lilo. Breeder
broke away after a speedy pass
ing duel but Rathert evened things
up when Wolf Point staged a
pretty offensive with three men go
ng down the floor to a lone guard.
At this point Coach Donohoe sub
West for Bohart and Sic
bold for Harding. After a few
plays Gallatin took time out. Bree-

Thursday
The second day of play in the
sixteenth annual tournament saw
three teams eliminated from the
tournament and the balance of the
first round games played out of
the way.
Butte, Whitefish, Helena, Man
haitian and Billings survived their
opening round games today while
Custer, Forsyth and Sweet Grass
came back from the losers side to
eliminate Roundup, Loyola and
Belt.
Billings was the sensation of the
day, displaying a big rangy team
that is the largest seen or a Mon
tana high school floor in many a
day.

Saturdays Play
Billings high school won the
state championship by defeating
Butte Central % to - in a game
that showed the superiority of
Billings over anything in the state.
The wonderful play Of Worthing-
ton of Billings made him an all
state berth and the Bobcat award.
The great little leader of Billings
fourth championship team displayed
wonderful work throughout the
tournament and was a popular win
ner of the award. Accompanied by
his parents the winner received a
tremendous ovation from the crowd.
Helena and Gallatin staged an
excellent brand of ball that saw
Helena emerge a winner by a lone
point after Bohart had moved down
a three point lead with a field
goal at the gun.
The end OF a successful tourna-
ment came with a great crowd
filing the big gymnasium almost
to capacity and the brilliant play
of the evening was a real treat.
Central started with a burst of
speed that looked like they might
upset the dope and win the cham
pionship but the steady but never
theless speedy play of Billings soon
became apparent and they jumped
into the lead at the half with an
81 margin after failing Central AZ
at the quarter.
By the end of the third quarter
Billings had increased the lead to
1873 and their superiority was be-
coming more and more evident as
the game progressed.
The final gun crashed down on
a 25-12 score and the victory game,
Billings fourth championship, one
ore than any other school in the
state.

FAITH AND
THRIFT

0NE of the essentials Of true
~ thrift is faith--the substance
of things longed for: ideals and
ambitions which cannot bs seen
with the eye.
Through faith we gain greater
and broader vision. Through faith
our viewpoint is ever fixed on
the great and finer purposes of
life. The distance we may have
to travel before we reach our goal
is of minor Importance. The goal
is all that really counts.
Through faith we are lifted
above and beyond the fear OF fall
ure. and any undertaking before
US becomes easier Of accomplish
ment.
Through faith we learn patience.
the power to endure, the ability
of constant application.
There must always be. the exaIt-
ing element of faith in our thrift
practices. Otherwise we become
mere hoarders of gold.-Thrift
