Bringing home the good old bac-
on In their first conference game
Sank Centre varsity quint defeated
Osakis in a 20 to Is victory on last
Friday evening. Keldahl, local CEN
ter, went on his first scoring bat
this year and came out high with
nine points, while Zimmerman, of
Osakis, gave him stiff competition
following up with eight points Of
their total Is.
Scoring was well defined during
the first half. For Osakis thinner
man tossed in seven of their eight
half-time points. Walker, Keldahl,
and Brandon each bucketed one for
six points and Decree took two
free shots and Keldahl one for the
nine points. The second half saw
the Sank Centre scoring power
clearly under way and an offensive
which ripped wide swaths in the
Osakis defense sent them on to
scoring honors with total of 20
points during the final half.
Evanson, of Glenwood, who re-
fereed, said that in no game had
he seen so much hacking. Three
men went out on four fouls and
were sent to the showers. Keldahl,
Of the locals, and Harsh and Fezler
Of the Osakis quint were the Of
tenders.
The locals penetrated the Osakis
defense early in the play and toss
ed ruthlessly at the bucket with no
gain, but the passing showed evil
dence that they could work the ball
in to get some setup shots. A quick
break by Zimmerman caught the
locals off their feet, and he scored
for opening honors. Harsh, Osakis
forward, looped in a free shot and
Keldahl matched one with him.
Sank Centre had just started on
it's famous puncturing offensive
thrust when Zimmerman came out
of nowhere to intercept cross
pass and go down the floor like a
comet to score again. He made the
goal but was fouled. The foul shot
was muffed. Walker and Brandon
took it upon themselves to score
then and did so in rapid fire sue
cession. Decree pulled the locals
out in the lead with free shot and
the locals stood out with a lonely
point margin, to at the end Of
the first quarter. Early in the Sec
ond quarter Keldahl, from whom
we had heard little, left his man
with a neat pivot and got in the
clear on the foul line to score. Zim-
norman took a free shot and then
without hesitation proceeded to tie
the score, as he sailed down the
court for a tip in shot. 1t was all
romp and tussle with a few fun
bles and plenty Of arm whacking
until Decree got himself a free
shot which ended the half with the
locals still only one point to the
good, the score being 9 to 8.
It was then that the old Sank
Centre horse power flung itself in
to high and scored for the first
time all season. Brandon meshed a
free shot, which was followed by
a few wild rushes at the basket
with no gain. But Walker took adj
vantage Of a break, tore into pos
ition in the clear and scored CIV

lead Of two buckets. Walker and
Harsh matched for free throws
keeping the margin even, and KEEL
dahl swished in a push in shot
that just went inside the hoop by
a breath. Harsh put in dandy one
and Keldahl scooted into the foul
ring, took the pass and scored as
the quarter ended with the locals
piling their first definite lead II to
II. Osakis swung into some nice
passing and looked as If they
might score, but the locals broke
it up. Coming down fast Decree
hinged in the pass to Keldahl who
tipped it in for a goal. Decree
came out Of the corner on the next
attempt and tipped in a neat one as
the locals finally got under way.
