NIP AND TUCK GAME
Melrose Will Play Two Games
in This City Friday Even
ing, Starting at 700

When the Sank Centre and
Long Prairie High School basket
ball quints tangled in their first
game of the 1882 school year on
the Junior High School Auditorium
floor Friday evening the fans wit
messed the most spectacular and
thrilling game played in this city
in many a moon.
On the Long Prairie quint was
rangy and crafty young man,
Reichert by name, playing at CEN
ter who had the week previously
defeated Melrose single handed,
scoring IS points. He brought with
him record of 80 points in three
games. The job of caring for this
speed artist was turned over to
Butch" Iwinski, ably assisted by
Pat Dubois, Kinsella and Domke,
and boy he was stopped cold.
When the final whsle blew Mr..
Riechert had scored a single field
goal and shot three free throws.
Maynard, a guard as long as a
telephone pole. makes a speciality
Of long range shots; always a
dangerous man. Kinsella and
Domke took care of Maynard. He
was held to single free throw.
Harry Hamilton injured his
ankle earlier in the week at prac-
tice and Coach Stub" Olson kept
him on the sidelines. The job of
forward in Hams" place was
turned over to Jimmie Benson. Jim
has so much speed that he ran
away from his defense. He had
several hard shots, trimmed the
basket several times and did not
score until 30 seconds before the
close Of the overtime period. This
was the basket that brought vic
tory to the Sank Centre team.
Besides handling Mr.. Riechert
Butch" Iwinski scored two field
goals, made one free throw and
missed two for total of five
points. Butch" is prone to foul
but he escaped Friday evening
without being penalized once.
Every man on the Sank Centre
quint scored at least one basket;
Kinsella making his usual sensa-
tional shot from the centre of the
floor.
Last week the Herald said some
thing about the improved play of
Pat Dubois at center. It was late
in the season last year before Pat
earned the regular position at
center. His play Friday evening
was a revelation to his most
ardent admirers. Although shorter
than his opponent he usually got
the jump on his rival. This out
of the way he commenced to roam
all over the floor and with telling
effect. He connected for two
beautiful field goals. The Herald
will be the outstanding center in
the district.
Cliff Dpmke played his usual
heady and steady guard position
and scored two field goals and
free throw.
Osakis, did splendid job Of re-
fereeing. The speed of the game
was fast and furious but Mr..
Omacht was on top of every play.
He will referee the tournament in
District No. %, consisting Of
Morris, Starbuck. Fergus Falls
and Benson at Morris, March 4
and 3.
Sank Centre played the entire
game without substitution. For
Long Prairie one substitution was
made when johnson replaced An
derson who was retired after he
had committed four fouls.
AS the teams lined up Friday
evening there was not much to
choose between them. The visitors
started off with a rush and at the
end of the quarter were leading
by a 81 score; at the half Sank
Centre had the advantage, 1913.
The third quarter ended Is all. At
