Sooh Tenure DldSteQ It's way
through the Melrose barricade last
Friday evening when Melrose in
vaded the local court for the first
encounter between these two teams.
The Varsity shelled their way to
victory with a decisive score of %
to 10. The B-team added to it's laur-
els by defeating the seconds from
Melrose 81 to 8, and the Junior High
quint played a similar team from
Upsala to win 8 to 6. These Junior
High lads play brand Of ball that
is surprisingly alert and smooth.
With ten games gone on the Var
sity schedule the locals have a re-
cord unequalled in many years by
Sank Centre quints. They have lost
only one district match, that with
Glenwood, with whom we soon get
a chance to come back. It is believ-
ed that the locals have a standing
as high as any in the district, most
Of the teams in this district having
lost more than one game, and many
playing shorter schedules.
Melrose opened the scoring hon.
ors, as guests, with gift shot. The
locals left few openings from then
on. Dubois intercepted a pass in
mid floor and dribbled in to score
the first goal Of the game. Scanlon
worked into the corner and sunk a
pretty one-hand shot for the second.
The local boys chalked up a free
shot, and Bud Carpenter covered to
score goal. Carpenter drove in
fast to take the pass from Scanlon
on an out-of-bounds play and scor-
ed as the quarter finished with the
locals in the lead 8 to 3.
In the second period DsGree co.,
cred two previous shots to score
after missed free shot. The locals
picked up two free shots, and Du-
Bots pulled his sleeper-so effective
against Osakis-to receive the pass
from Scanlon and score under the
basket. Scanlon followed him with a
pot shot from back Of the foul line
for the last goal before the half

Orville Carpenter scored first in
the last half, but Ahles followed
him with the first goal that Mel
rose clinched, covering the shot for
Gallagher. It was at this point that
Decree, game little spark plug, suf-
fered an abrasion on the back Of
his head when he fell against the
side rail. He was taken out Of the
game temporarily, but was soon
back in there fighting. Gallagher,
visiting guard and a good ball
handler, came in to score. and the
quarter ended 10 to 10. In this quar-
ter Melrose scored five points to
one lone goal for the locals.
In this the final quarter the To-
Gals stepped out again with Arvig

floor, scored a lift shot in through
the hoop. Sieben and Keldahl split
on field goals. and the remainder Of
the local points were free shots.
