The Saturday contest did not cram
the thrills into it that were SO preva-
lent in the Friday encounter. The
Bison grabbed the lead early in the
game, but with less than 10 minutes
of the first half gone. the Nodaks
were out in front. by three points at
n time. This lead was good until
the Bison got into stride and swung
ahead to hold a 1919 advantage at the
half.
It was in the second half that the
Bison played their best basketball.
however. For II minutes Of the final
period the Bison were a perfect baS-
ketball team. The Nodaks failed to
count more than a point during this
time, while the Saalwaechter charges
ran their lead to Oslo. Captain VIC
Brown gave the Nodak's their first
field counter of the second half after
II minutes, and inconsequential points
were made by the Nodaks after that.

Reserves Called
Leo May and Cecil Bliss, Bison
regulars, were -ent from the court
for violation Of the rules four times,
each, and S~aalwaechter was forced
to call on his thinning reserve anks
The reserves managed to hold their
own with the Nodaks, the Bison hav-
ing some time before resorted to a
deliberate attack designed to draw
out the Nodak defense. The Bison
passed exceptionally well during this

Referee Dick Holzer handled a big
Job, both teams being frequent vio-
lators of the rules. Holzer plastered
IL personal fouls on the NodakS while
the Bison had II.
Pete Gergen again played a bril-
liant game, being instrumental IN ad-
yancing the ball to the net. He
counted two field goals through some
individual brilliance of his own. He
had several other opportunities to
score bat his mates were not as &C
curate passers. Red Rabbit Jarrett,
Nodak forward, counted only once
from the field. Gergen keeping him
in check very effectively except when

Leo May was brilliant until forced
from the contest in the second half.
He contributed two field goals and

Gilly johnson did some fine work
in taking the ball off the bankboard.
while Cecil Bliss. who apparently
had an off night. contributed two

court. Walt Olson, who replaced him
scored while in a scramble under the
net.
The Nodaks were not nearly SO
effective as Friday. While they
worked hard. their efforts were re-

brilliant Bison play. And they had
the ball so infrequently that they had
