Promptly at p. m. Thursday the first
game of the tournament started between
Culbertson and Froid This was the
closest and one of the best games of the
tournament Reiter as forward starred
for Froid while the guarding of Manning
and Maxam of Culhertson was well above
the average. sThe final score was 2l-24
in favor of Froid
Plentywood defeated Outlook in the first
game of the evening session. Plentywood
led all the way not seeming to extend
themselves. although Outlook kept the
game interesting at all times by their
never say die spirit. The game ended
29-16 in favor of Plentywood
In rough one-sided game Bainvile
defeated Westby a9 to 20. In this game
there were 80 personal fouls committed
Westby playing the last quarter with four
men on the floor.
In the first consolation game Friday,
morning Culbertson defeated Outlook 29-
~. Culbertson showed themselves to be
a much better team than they had looked
TO be in their first game.
The second game Friday morning be-
tween Plenlywood and Froid was very
fast although one sided. Plentywood's
fast offense had Froid very much at SCI
while Froid's offence found Plentywood's
defense impreenable. The game ended
Froid ID Plentywood 50.
In the first game of the afternoon ses-
sion Culbertson defeated the Westby team
34-14. The first half of this game was
very close, Westby showing a great i'm
provement after their poor showing of the
night before.
The second game in the afternoon was
slow and uninteresting. Bainvile win
ming the right from Scobey to play Pep-
tywood for the championship.
In the first game of the evening which
was for 3rd place in the tournament. Froid
took Scobey into camp to the tune of 33
to II. Froid led all the way never being
in any danger.
Promptly at $3.50 the championship
game began. For the first two minutes it
looked as if the two teams were well
matched, but Plentywood proved to be
too fast for Bainvile, the game ending
So to 26. Bainville although outclassed |
from the start fought all the time and |
never seemed to give up. They have
the admiration of the crowd and are rated |
as the pluckiest team seen on the local
floor They richly deserve their well |
earned trip to Poplar. To our own boys |
we must say they make up the best team
Plentywood has ever had. and we are all
behind them to win the tournament at |
Poplar.
