This was the hardest game the
Wolves had to play and kept spec
tators keyed to a high pitch every
minute of the playing. In the last

ing stride which it had not at
tanned earlier in the season and
the full force of the increased
ability showed up in this game.

from start to finish.
Wolf Point won in the final min
utes of play by a score of IL.
Both teams were evenly matched
and the first half displayed some
of the best ball yet seen. Although

nervous and was forced to take
long shots they were in the lead,

half Poplar scored and held one
point margin until the last seven
minutes. Kay Lang for the VOL
yes and Kollenbaum of Poplar were
taken out of the game because of
personal fouls. The Wolf Point
coach won the game when he sent
Schneider in as guard and trans
ferred Rathert to a forward posi-
ton. Rathert scored on a long
shot and Nichol put the game on
ice with a long angle shot. Both
teams played %erratic ball, during
the third quarter, trying to locate
the baskets from all angles. Final
score was 1873 in favor of the
fighting Wolves" LaRoque and
Rathert were in every defensive
play while Dale Lund and Smith
were the Poplar stars.
