Lake Sensations
Coach "Red" Axelson's Medicine
Lake giant killers were the sensa-
ton of the tournament. Always a
strong tournament team, they fought
their way to the final game by dump
ing two seeded favorites in games
where they called on their last ounce
Of fight to exc out close decisions. Al
though downed by the Outlook club
last night, they were the nemesis OF
two teams ~pre-tourney dopsters pre-
dicted would eliminate them from the
championship struggle.
Tournament Success
Officials of the tournament were M.
R. Lazenby of Michigan, N. D., and B.
j. Burreson Of Lakota, N. d. The ref
erees handled the games well and fans
coaches and players were well satisfied
with their work.
James Melton of Plentywood and
Sidney Smith of Scobey refereed sew
eral consolation games and handled
them well.
An added feature of the tournament
this year was the installation of a loud
speaker system which was used to an
nounce players, decisions and feature
attractions. Herman Gruhn of the
Plentywood high school staff was chief
announced and did a creditable Job.

band furnished music during the three
day classic. The band, under the di-
rection of Oscar Fossum, drew many
favorable comments from the big
crowds. Included in the musical pre-
sensations were feature attractions,
such as a saxophone quartette and
trio.
INT Club a Hit
The TINT club, composed of more
than 20 charming Plentywood high
school girls was a decided hit at the
tournament. The girls, dressed in or
ange and black, their school colors,
gave well-executed drills before games
by c%ircling on the spacious gym floor
letters designating the names of the
towns playing in the contests. They
were an exceptionally fine roofing Sec
ton and also worked as a service club
during the three day session.
Crowds Good Sportsmen
The spectators proved themselves
good sportsmen at every one of the
seventeen games. Decisions of officials
were accepted without open heckling
which on numerous occasions marred
tournaments of former years. Spectat-
ors respected the institution in which
the playing was held with the excep-
ton of a few minor instances.
It is believed that more sportsman
ship was shown in this years tourney
than ever before.
Financial Success
w. e. Stegner, Plentywood superin-
tcndent in charge of the tournament
and 10 whom much of the credit goes
for the fine manner in which the tour
nament was handled, announced last
night that the affair was a financial
success. Teams, after expenses are
paid, are pro-rated receipts.
