DeMolays VS.. Firemen
1t looks like the purple and colo
is we'll on its way to the City League
title again this year, after stripping
the fire-chaSers last night of all
but their blazing orange and red
uniforms, in the opening tussle.
Doc Holman did his best to
give the Firemen a boost by his
dumping of shots ii the first quar-
ter to end the period with fancy
underhand toss that made the score
9 for the Firemen against 10 points
dropped by the oppositing DeMolay
team in that period.
But, it was only in the first quar-
ter that the Firemen could keep the
pace, as the DeMolays then began
to warm up and there wasn't much
chance for the Smoke-eaters after
the first half when Elmer Lind
strom and Kinky Bayers started
showing some real hoop denting
ending the half with lead of 25
to II for the Lodge lads.
Combination Too Much
In the second half the margin
wldened until there Was little hope
for the Firemen to break down the
combination of Lindstrom, Bayers,
and AL Bloomquist, who hung up
enough counters to make the final
score DeMolay 40, Firemen 81.
