CARDS PLAY TRACY
OUINT HERE FRIDAY
Drop Rough Game at New Ulm
1910 After Leading
One Quarter

In an effort to inject more scoring
punch into the Cardinal cagers,
Coach Earle Obermeyer has spent
: the week drilling on an offense which
he hopes will bring Redwood Falls
its first victory of the season against
Tracy in the Lincoln school auditor
ium Friday night. The Junior High
quintet will engage the Tracy Jun
Tors in preliminary tilt at 1880 p. m.
The Cardinals may have to do
without the services Of Steve Inglis,
guard and center, who suffered a
sprained ankle in practice Monday.
Whether Ingiis will play will not be
known until game: time, depending
on the speed with which his injury
heals.
Unable to make their scoring OPP
portunities count the Redwood Falls
High school cagers were defeated ID
10 in a rough and tumble battle with
New Ulm Friday night in the New
Ulm armory.
Returning to the scene of their con-
quest last year of the district basket
ball title, the Cardinals started out
F: in the first quarter as though they
meant to make short work of their
opponents, who have been selected by
a poll of coaches to take over the dis
trict championship this year. The
Cards led at the end of the opening
period by a 6-2 margin but we're only
able to garner four points in the re-
manning three quarters.
After New Ulm had opened the
scoring by taking two point lead,
Steve Inglis and Ralph Tenney went
to work to run up six points, Inglis
dropped in two gift shots and Tenney
followed with one handed long shot
good for two points. Inglis again
counted, when he came out with the
ball after mad scramble under the
basket, and tossed in short shot to
bring the score to GO at the end of
the initial period.
The game developed into a scram-
bic in the second quarter, New Ulm
coming out on top to tie the score at
the half, 6-6. New Ulm went into
the lead in the third quarter scoring
five points while the only Cardinal
effort was field goal by Tenney, the
quarter terminating with the count
11-S in favor of New Ulm. Inglis
closed the gap as the final period be-
gan by sinking short shot to cut
the New Ulm lead to lone point,
but two field goals by the Blue and
White, sewed the game up.
Despite the roughness of the game
only IL fouls were called, five for
the Cardinals and six for New Ulm.
Most of the rough and tumble feat
ure of the game came from the con-
slant scrambling for the ball on the
floor.
1nglis and Tenney did all the scor-
ing for the Cardinals, Steve dropping
in two baskets and two free throws
for six points, making MIN high point
man for both teams, while Ralph
manufactured the remaining scores
with two field goals. Russ Lauter-
bach starting his first game for the
Cardinals played aggressively on the
defense showing lots of fight and mix
ing it up considerably. Janni led New
Ulm with two field goals and gift
shot for five points. In the matter
of free throws. New Ulm made good
three out of six attempts, while Card
mails counted two and missed five.
With two regulars on the sidelines,
the Junior High encountered its first
loss after three straight victories,
falling before the New Ulm fresh
men, OF. The Juniors experienced
the same difficulty as the high school
team concerning scoring opportuni-
ties, only in reversed situation. For
the first three quarters Coach Nc
Curdy's men were able to make only
one point, free throw by Discher
and were behind 81 at the start of
the final period. Two baskets and
two free throws in the fourth quart
er nearly pulled the game out of'the
fire, but the New Ulm lead was too
great to surprass. Discher led the
scoring with three scores, followed by
Crooks and Welch with two each.
