CARDINALS 4O-2l|
Redwood Falls Holds Indians
In Check Until Start
Of Second Half

For two and one half quarters
Friday light the Redwood Falls
cagers had the Sleepy Eye In
dians well cooped up in their tep-
ees and then midway in the third
period the Indians turned what
had been up to that time n close
game, into a Clusters last stand
massacre for the Cardinals, by
nearly doubling the count to win
by a score of 40 to 21 on the
Lincoln school floor.
The game was one of the
toughest played here in some
time, the referees, Krinke and
Johnson of Springfield, the latter
former all state center on one of
Hamline's championship teams,
having a hectic session of it un-
tangling the pile-ups and calling
SO fouls, with three players being
forced out of action with over
doses. The Cardinals committed
II personals and one technical, on
too many times out, while the In
dians had II marked against
them.
The fans who filled the auditor
ium will all agree that Sleepy Eye
has one of the fastest, hard driv-
ing, smooth ball handling and
sharp-eyed shooting teams that
the district has seen since the
year Redwood Falls sent it's
great aggregation of 1928 to
The state tourney. Sleepy Eye at
this stage of the season appears
to be further developed than the
Cards were at the same time that
year, as Redwood reached its peak
later in the season. If Sleepy
Eye can get by old man "Stale-
ness" who can make the best of
teams look like the poorest, there
is no doubt that the Indians will
be up there fighting for the Min
nesota basketball crown.
Sleepy Eye invaded the Red
wood domain heralded as an un-
beaten quint that had Dowled over
five opponents by big scores, but
for more than half of the game
the Cardinals apparently hadn't
heard about it as they fought
tooth and nail with the Redskins,
either leading them or never fall
ing behind more than one point.
The score was Ia to 13 in favor
of the Indians in the third quart
Ell when they started their ramp
age, which ran up 13 points 20 The
Redwood Falls one The fast
breaking attack which had been
subdued in the first half sudden
ly began to take life and the In
dians were dribbling straight
down the middle for their scores,
flashing lightning speed passes or
throwing the ball the length of
the floor to man waiting under
the Redwood Falls basket. When
the quarter started the score was
Is to II in favor of the Indians
and when it ended Sleepy Eye
was ahead by 81 to IA.
Redwood Falls was the first 20
score, Russ Lauterbach popping
one in from an under the basket
scuffle. Sleepy Eye shot into a
) to lead on two field goals and
a free throw but Redwood Falls
drew it up to 8 to at the end Of
the period on a long shot from
near the center by Cubby Thom-
son and a one handed toss by
Dick Cole.
Early in the second quarter
Redwood Falls lost the services Of
it's center, Steve Inglis, who
sprained his ankle. Noble Starr
who replaced him played COM
mendably at the same time count
ing two baskets.
Thec5ald led the parade of
Sleepy Eyes IA field goals with
IA points from six baskets and
two gift shots, while Youngman
and Snow, were next with seven
scores each. Thomson was the
best bet for Redwood Falls with
six points.
Sleepy Eye left Redwood Falls
nothing to root for by also WIN
ming the first game, its B team
outpointing the Cardinal Junior
High II to 7. The teams were
tied at the end of the half A to 4.
