 FROM MISSIONS WITH
 DEFEAT STARING AT I'M

The Seward "Midgets' Saturday night tucked away another scalp under their heavily laden belts when they put on snow-shoes and walked off with the Mission" game by the score of IS to 8,
 The "Midgets' sprung a surprise on them in the first quarter when a close scrutiny of the score brought to light the fact the "Midgets" were on the short end of the score, too. It looked rather dark for them for the Mission" team has improved 100 per cent since their last appearance on the battle field, due to the per sistent and intelligent coaching MT. King has put them through.
 With this situation staring them in the face the "Midgets" went into ac-
 
 ton, in the second quarter, with tails erect and colors flying holding the speedy Mission" lads scoreless, whilst they dropped in three points
 The third canto opened up with a short shot into the Missions" cage. Sandbeck tossed this one in which started the fireworks for from this point on the scribe lost count of the field goals made individually. Sand beck's shot was recalled becuse he is printers devil"
 When the final and penetrating silver-toned whistle blast sounded, ending the bombardment, the score stood IS to 8, favor of the "Midgets." :"
 Lineups:
 Midgets-Raynfond Manthey and Donald Shellhorn, forwards; Sam Estes, center; the Sandbeck twins, Otto and Edwin, guards.
