From tho opening whistle last night
It was apparent the game was to be
rough. and at times IL seemed the
contest rot on; Of control OF tho two
officials.
Lloyd Dietrich refused to argue
with Big Ted Meinhovcr for the tip
of Mt center and at each jump ball
was content TO jump out OF the ring.
This gave Eismarck the ball out OF
bounds every time the ball went TO
center, but 1t helped break up Bis
marck's plays from the center tip
eff.
Having learned u lesson In the pre-
ceding contest with the Capital City
clan. the Braves watched MelnhOvcr
hawks. In tho meantime. however.
John Spriggs. Harold TAFT. and Earl
Hoffman each scored twice from tho
field and Hoffman even added four
points to his total from six chances
at the free throw lines To take scor-
ing honors In the contest. Meinhovcr
and O'Iiarc were not smothercd. the
Big center sinking three field goals
and making his only gift chance good
and tho husky guard scoring once
from tho court.

Ing the first five minutes and the
count was tied at three all when this

It up. In the last three minutes Of
tho first canto the Bisinarckcrs went
ahead and held n 9 to 3 advantage
when the gun sounded. From then
on 1t wa merely n question rs to how
large the ultimate score would be.
