Running true to championship
form, the Gilbert quirt easily stop
ped the local High School cagers to
score an impressive 10 point victory.
Ely players were unfamiliar with
the Gilbert floor and all shots for the
basket went astray.
Gilbert played consistent game
all through the contest and only in
the first quarter was the score rela-
lively close; to being the count
at the end of the initial period. Gil
bert added four more points during
the second quarter while Ely failed
to register, making the score IL to 8
by half time.
Ely strove desperately to bring the
score to an even basis during the
final periods, but the towering Nest
mix at center and the alert Mattson
at guard teamed well to stop the Ely
attack. Gilbert found the basket for
twelve points during the second half
while Ely was but able to score one
point via the free throw route. Nest
mix and Mattson were the star Gil
bert performers, these two men form
ing the backbone of the team.
Score: Gilbert %; Ely 4.
In a slow game the Eveleth High
School won over Ely by the small
score of Is to 4. The Ely team was
decidedly off form and only at times
did they approach their usual YER
satile game.
Ely jumped off to an early four
point lead, but lost the advantage
just before the end of the first per-
iod when Eveleth Gagged two baskets
and free throw in rapid success
ion. Eveleth held the upper hand
throughout the remaining quart
ers although both teams were sadly
lacking in offensive power. Ely play
ers were frequently called for trav-
cling and this fact caused the local
offensive to be slowed up consider
ably. Maxi at guard played stel-
lar game for Ely while M. Segal was
the Eveleth sensation. The lineup
follows.

cagers amassed a total of % points
and would have secured the three
additional points necessary to tie the
score, had the game lasted only a
few minutes longer.
The local team was way off color
the first half; their defense being
noticeably poor and their offense
just as bad. Not until the third
quarter did the Ely offense begin
functioning and then the ball began
hitting the basket for scores with
constant regularity and the Eveleth
lead melted away like ice on sum-
mer day.,
Pelto and Luhtanen the Ely for
wards outshone their teammates on
the offensive. Pelto on numerous
occasions broke loose from the Ev
eleth guards for pot shots while
Luthanen on one occasion made
four points in about 80 seconds. He
was fouled while making field goal
and made good both his shots at the
free throw line. Banovetz played
a good game at guard for Ely. He
also figured in the offense for five
points. Kraker and Forte were the
high point men on the Eveleth team;
these two together counting for prac-
tically all of the points. The lineup
and summary follows:
