BY far the most sensational game
of the first round was the spectacular
battle between Jamestown and Fargo
in which the Jays eked out a slender
one-point margin when Harold West

fore the final gun spat.
Playing without their star guard,
Erik Peterson, who Thursday UNDER
went an operation for appendicitis
the Jays staged brilliant battle
throughout, with Francis Nordin, who
took his place, filling the gap in
manner which could not invite ad-
verse criticism.
Ingstad Magnificent
A large share of the credit for the
victory, however, must 60 to Robert
Ingstad, center. who played a great
game throughout, scoring five field
goals and two free throws, besides be-
ing a tower of strength on the de-
fensive.
Ingstad virtually played his heart
out" but not until the final minutes
of the game did he show the effects
of the strain.
Merrild Augspurger. guard. and
Vernon Kittleson. forward, also play
ed creditable games. Augspurger play
ed q brilliant defensive game besides
scoring a field goal and two gift

spurted out in front III the second
quarter and were leading as the half
ended, 13 to 8.

ter to within one point Of the Jays
but another jamestown squirt put the
Jays back in front by five points
again. Two minutes before the game
ended Fargo jumped into 81 to 20

ter Westby's valuable field goal from
under the bankboard.

in view of the fact that jamestown
had lost Peterson at the last hour
The Midgets had no outstanding
stars, but Joe Tuor and Wayne Fisher
were the leading scorers from the
field.

lead over Bismarck, the Eagles were

trant in the tournament, having de-
