The best was none too good for
the Provident Life All-State cagers
January 81, and the Dominion Elect
RIGS of Minneapolis, Minnesota A. A.
U. champions, were tumbled from
their lofty pedestal of only one de-
feat in two years and handed their
second loss in a close game on the
armory floor 25-23.
Although not overly rough, the
game was marked with football tact
les, injuries being dealt to two Pro-
vident Life men. Both accidents oc-
Cured in the second half, with Sew
erson as the first victim, receiving
an elbow clip on the side of the head
which stretched him out on his
back on the floor. After a short
rest he was able to continue in the
game. A few minutes later, Bart
Corcoran was forced to leave the
floor, with blood streaming down his
face from finger nail cash over his
left eye.
Unable to work the ball in under
the basket through the tight de-
fenses each team presented, both
aggregations resorted to freak shots
from out on the floor, which had the
fans gasping.
The All-States took an opening
lead when Corcoran dropped in a
free throw, but Farrell, the Domin-
ions six foot six All-American for
ward, snaked a pivot shot over his
head through the net to put the Mill
city club ahead. Another field goal
by the Dominions increased their
lead, but with Speed Corbett sinking
one handed long shot and Corcoran
putting in another equally as long
the Redwood Falls team took lead
which they maintained by not more
than four points throughout the re-
mainder of the game. The All-States
were in possession of 14-11 margin
at the half.
The contest continued in its nip
and tuck fashion in the second half,
the Providents managing to keep a
few slim points ahead, by matching
the Dominions point for point. Early
in the fourth quarter the visitors
spurted to within lone score of the
All-States and seemed as though
they would jump into lead, hand
ling the ball carefully and waiting
for openings: Rortvedt's long arms,
darted up, however, to intercept an
opponents pass and whisked the
ball to Snob Arnett under the Do
minion's basket, who dropped it in
for. two points and put the Provi-
dents in a safe lead.
Free throws played major part in
the All-States' victory, the Providents
converting nine in II attempts, while
the Dominions made Ave out of ten.
Farrell led both teams in scoring,
connecting for five field goals and a
gift shot for II points. Corbett and
Corcoran led the Providents with
six points each while Arnett follow
ed with five scores manufactured in
about five minutes.
Besides All-American Farrell, 9TH
er noted stars in the Dominion line
up, were Johnny Kolesar, former all
state guard at Augsburg, Swede
Johnson, former st. Thomas star,
especially noted for his clever dribb-
ling; Buffalo, a member of the De
LaSalle national Catholic high school
champions few years ago and Nc
Pherson, formerly Of the University
of Minnesota.
