Into the light of tomorrow Coach
Harvey may look as with restrain
ed potentialities his Five went
down in defeat to a st. Cloud Tech
team Friday evening to the tune of
26 to II.
It is to the light Of those possib-
ilities that Sank Centre may point
even in the darkness Of defeat on
their opening game. Tech was rag
ged too in their defensive and Of
fensive maneuvers. The difference
came when Tech found itself
first; while the Main Streeters
never realized their abilities.
First impressions were that scor-
ing would be relatively low. Shoot
ing was ragged as both teams pen
etrated for set up shots. Arvig
dribbling the full length Of the
floor missed an under shot. Klein,
rangy Tech center, closed In several
times to bang up his shots for
misses. Defensive thrusts did not
halt the tide of attack of either
team; and offensive thrusts were
killed when shots were missed. At
a slow, feeling pace the game start
ed and gained in momentum until
in the last minutes Of the second
quarter 1t had advanced to a fever
pitch. A mad melee of legs, ball, and
referee raced from one end Of the
court to the other as the Main
Streeters battled to come from be-
hind and Tech hung tenaciously to
their lead.
Proceeding carefully during the
first quarter, not quite sure of
what they could do, Harveymen
held off a quick assault of Tech
men. Finally finding a corner from
which he could shoot, Cliff Klein
Melted a corner flip for the initial
score. Another period in which
shots were missed followed until
Hoffman rung the bell with sim
gle free throw, and Arvig followed
with Sank Centres first field goal.
Hart, high score man with five
goals, crashed In to score from the
long corner of the half court and
then succeeded himself with anoth-
err. Scoring subsidized until the Sec
ond period and the first quarter
found Tech leading 6 to 8.
Advancing in confidence both
teams stepped up the throttle a
notch and dashed out with a vic
iousness of attack. Tech banged
out with a tip off play that sent
the ball to the waiting forward
back. Center Klein cut out in
small circle and broke for the
basket taking the pass. But his
pass went to Johnson whose shot
was no good. Long covering flipped
in the goal. Arvig romped in to
take a short pass to score from the
short position near the free throw
line, and Sullivan, Tech forward,
scored. Arvig hooked one free
throw before the half ended. BY
the time the half gun had sounded
the mad rush to score was on, and
Coach Morrison, in an endeavor to
settle his players, flung in a supply
Of substitutes.
That fatal third quarter slump
befuddled and heckled the Main
Streeters following the halftime
rest. Three points were theirs dur
ing that period. Walker took a
field goal and Reble garnered
foul shot. For st. Cloud, however, 1t
was their quarter and Dame For
tune turned her gracious smile on
them and they went to town."
Hart, displaying his aforesaid abil-
ity to score, took two goals in quick
succession, and he then was re-
appointed to the scoring office with
his final field goal. johnson scored
toward the end of the quarter at
ter several minutes of rapid fire
