to defeat South Dakota university in
a North Central conference contest
here Saturday, Al to %.
It was lopsided win for the Bison
as far as the final count is concerned,
but on the floor the Coyotes waged
game battle and closer score would
have been in order under ordinary
circumstances.
Leo May. husky center from Aber-
deem, S. D., was chiefly responsible
for the fact that ordinary circum-
stances did not control the pastim-
ing. We have seen some basketeers
hot but We have never seen ono per-
form on top Of heated flatiron. And
May must have been standing on such
an implement.
There was no angle on the court
too tough for May, eight times his
pitches at the net finding their way
through the opening. They were
short and long shots. set-ups and
from different anglcs-none being too
tough. In fact. it is fortunate for
RUDE Hoy's lads that May didn't get
the ball more often when inside mid
court.
Hahn Also Scores
In addition to Mays hot shooting,
Bobby Hahn turned in a fine Often
sive game, scoring six times from
the field, while Cecil Bliss, Gilly
Johnson and Peter Gergen offered q
stirling brand Of defensive play.
The Coyotes played excellent bas-
ketball. but were too slow afoot to
cope successfully with the Bison.
Time after time well planned Coyote
offensive threats were stopped simply
because the Coyotes were outspecded
and sometimes outguessed.
