of the last period which they in
creased to 29-19 for the fina
j, score.
Glasgow 35-Culbertson "a
This game was the closest anC
perhaps the most interesting one
of the tournament. Weakened and
disorganized somewhat by the alb.
sence of their captain, Maxam,
Culbertson went into the game de-
termined to uphold her splendid
record of the season and lead at
the first quarter s to 6. Then
Parke. the diminutive flash of
Glasgow got hot and gave his
team a 1911 lead at halfway and
a 27-19 lead at three-quarters. In
the closing period Culbertson
fought hard to overcome this lead
but fell short by a single point.
Final score 1884.
Froid 33-MaIta 29
Froid, winner of the sub-district
at Culbertson, placed herself in
the finals by defeating Malta in
the first game of the Saturday af-
ternoon session, by a score of 49,
20. A field goal by Garland gave
Malta the first score and she
maintained a lead through the
first quarter of 11-9 and until the
last minute of the half when a long
pass to Reiter, who had slipped
behind Misfeldt, enabled him to
give FrOid a one point lead at
2O-19. Malta regained however,
and at the half was leading 1920.
Through the efforts of Walker and
Reiter, Froid secured the lead
soon in the third quarter and were
not again headed, leading at the
third 1927 and 1929 at the close.
In the two games played thus
far, Malta was decidedly off form.
Myhr, rated prior to the meet as
one of the best men in the district,
was especially disappointing to
those who have seem him at his
best. Their entire squad, with
one exception, seemed lifeless as
though overstrained and stale.
Garland, floor guard, was the one
man who kept Malta in the fight
with his defensive playing, drib-
bling and five field goals.
Much of the credit for Froid's
victory goes to her captain. In
Walker, Coach Gillespie has one
of the best men of the tourna-
ment. Adept at all phases of the
game, with endurance to back up
his love of conflict, he was in
action every second of the time.
Wolf Point 23-GIasgow 9
IF Glasgow plays against Wolf
Point like they did against Cul-
bertson, twill be tough going"
was the comment freely heard be-
fore the Wolves took the floor for
their first game, with Glasgow as
their foe.
But Glasgow didn't! The iashy
floor work and accuracy of shoot
ing that characterized their play
ing the previous night was
missing. They played hard; they
they started their short
passes but a Wolf was there to
stop them.
Parke scored from the free
throw line to start things. Num-
times the Wolves worked
the ball down the floor for shots,
only to see it go wild by a fraction
of an inch. They failed to score
in the opening quarter while elias
gov converted another free throw.
In the second quarter things be-
gan to pick up a little. Lewow
Gagged one and three more fouls
converted by Glasgow.
Wright found the basket three
times and Herman once for a 81
lead at the end of the period.
Glasgow failed to score in the
next period while the locals added
six more points to their increasing
lead. Bechtel broke loose in the
final period and tickled the net
three times while Wright and
Herman each connected for two
and Herman converted one. Fitch
epare scored one from the floor
for the losers only points and
later left the game on personals.

Aside from poor shooting in the
first quarter, the performance of
'Boe's Boys" in this game was
perfect for a semi-tinal
contest. Playing a strong defen-
sive game, they started out slow
as though starting a marathon run. A.

increased their pace up to the clos /

nable defense at ali times, yet I
