Friday evening the local Varsity
quint romped over the Long Prair-
lie team to defeat them on the lat
ter court to the tune of 35 to 10. It
was a game with heavy fouling
and was played at a fast pace. The
preliminary encounter in which the
seconds played quint of a farm
ers organization, known as the f.
D.. A., composed of ex-high school
players of Long Prairie, was drop
ped to the Long Prairie quint 20
to 10. The boys were playing
team much their superior both in
years and in basketball experience
and they turned in a good account
Of themselves.
At the opening of the main ticket
of the evening Lunceford, Long
Prairie, scored a goal to start
things rolling. Sank Centre capital
lied on two free shots to tie the
score a few plays later. Dubois
loafed down to the basket to re-
ceive the pass from Bud Carpenter
to score. Keldahl followed his lead
and sunk pivot shot. Dubois COW
cred a Long Prairie free throw and
passed down the floor as Decree
broke fast to get the pass and score
a goal. Dubois covered to score
again as the quarter ended with
the locals having a decided lead,
10 to 2.
Keldahl started off early in the
second quarter and scored as the
boys passed to work the ball into
scoring position. Decree scored as
he cut in to receive the pass from
Keldahl at the pivot position. Just
before the half ended Long Prairie
scored another goal for the second
one of the game. The teams retired
from the floor at the half with the
locals still out in front with the
score reading 81 to 4.
Kelly again took first honors in
the opening of the third period
when he scored. Orv Carpenter
came in strong following Kelly to
score, was fouled, and took the
points scoring two free throws.
Scanlon dribbled to the corner and
neatly tossed in a goal, and the
period ended with Long Prairie still
no farther along than and Sank
Centre having increased their
count to 20.
In the last period Long Prairie
came in with their first goal since
the half, and Scanlon took revenge
when he took a pot shot from back
of the foul line Ostrander came in
for Long Prairie as they attempted
to rally to score. Decree and Scan
Ion came in with goals in rapid
fire succession. Buehlow scored for
Long Prairie which ended the scor-
ing. Coach Harvey showed in his
second team, and they battled to
hold the opponents scoreless for
about four minutes of the game.
The final score read 35 to 10.
1t is evident that Long Prairie
depends great deal upon their
regular center, Johnson, the lad
who played such superb ball
against us when we defeated them
on the local floor "a to 81. Had he
been in the game perhaps it would
have been a better ball game to
watch. The locals captured IL
field goals during the encounter, Of
which Kelly, Scanlon, Dubois, and
Decree each took home three. To
determine high point man is then
just a matter Of which got the
most foul shots. The boys shot
fairly accurate on free throws
when they scored II points out Of
possible % points. Long Prairie
picked up only goals and made no
free shots out of a possible 8. Next
