Review of Basketball Season
The team started the season
with four letter mel back from
last years team; Laroque and
Schneider, guards and Vinson and
Herman. forwards. Laroque was
shifted to center to fill the place
left vacant by the graduation.
Burnison was selected to fill the
other guard position left vacant
when Laroque was shifted to cen
ter.
The first game of the season,
against Plentywood, was against
one of the districts fastest teams,
one which is expected to be a
strong contender for the cham
pionship at Poplar, Feb. "a.
brentwood lead the first half,
but the offense of the Wolves got
going in the second half of the
game, swapping Plentywood in
the last quarter, 24-15.
The next two games were de-
feats by the strong Williston
team. Williston has not been de-
feated yet, it's closest o so far
this season was against the
Wolves, at Williston, 20-14. The
second game ended 27-16 but was
anybody's game until the last
quarter.
Scobey came next with a good
reputation but a weak team and
was sent back beaten 27-1O.
Brockton was swamped the
night following the Scobey game,
36-5.
The basketball classic was play
ed at Poplar. Poplar lead the LIST
quarter To; then failed to score
the second quarter and the
Wolves were in the lead 81 at
half time. Wolf Point failed to
o in the third quarter and
Poplar led 1913. In the final quar-
ter a basket Burnison and n by
Vinson tied the score 1912. In
the extra period Herman connect
ed for the winning basket making
the score 14-12.
Two games with Bainville then
followed, the one at Bainville be-
ing won 26-14, and the n on the
home floor 45-S. The Wolves
scored 20 points to Bainville 0 in
the last quarter of this game.
The next game will have been
played when this goes to print,
with Poplar, Feb. Z. This will be
the last game before the tourna-
ment at Malta, and should show
the respective strengths of the
two teams, if both are playing up
to form.
Laroque has proved a find at
center. His speed and agility
make him one of the hardest men
to cover in the district. He has
an excellent eye for the basket
and has been high point man in
several games.
Vinson plays a steady game at
all times, is a good mar on the
defense, and can be counted on
for at least 2 or three baskets in
every game.
Herman is perhaps the best
shot on the team and his ability
in this line has kept the team in
the running in games when things
going wrong.
Schneider is n of the best
guards in the district and his side
Of the count is pretty well cover
ed when he makes up his mind to
cover it. He has a knack of in
t~ercepting passes and recovering
ball from the back board that
make him a valuable cog in the
defense.
Burnison, playing his first
game at guard, has held up his
end of the play in every game. He
IS the most aggressive player on
the team. and has lately develop
ed the ability to drop in a few
shots.
Bechtel is a clever floor mar
and a good shot. He can be de-
pended upon to hold up his end,
whenever called upon to take the
place of Vinson or Herman at for
ward. His long suit is team work
and he has time and again passed
10 a possible shot for himself and
