Completing series of three
games before the holidays the
high school cagers will meet
GlenwOOd on the local hard
wood tonight, Thursday, begin
ming at 8 o'clock. With two
losses the locals are annOunc-
Ing their determination to take
one game before the HOLIDAYS
cut off their schedule. To st.
Cloud they lost 20 to IL, and
last Friday evening at Benson
q marginal point cut them off
from victory when Benson de
feated them 81 to 20. Coinciden-
tai to the Benson defeat Is the
fact that Glenwood lost in
their opening game to Starbuck
by the same score, 81 to 20. This
Is the last card before the holi-
days and has been moved ahead
one day from Friday to Thurs
day.
Striving desperately in the last
seconds Of play Friday evening the
local attempts to pull out in front
Va 4CiA6oh wCIC Vail, IOT oeu-
son defeated them 81 to 20.
Play broke fast in literally the
last twenty seconds of play when
the locals trailed q to 20. Brendon
came up with a foul shot and
chance to tie the score. Missed, the
rebound was covered by Walker
who attempted a quick shot from
the side. His disconnected shot was
covered by Reble who in one of
the points, missed a tip-in shot to
the basket as the gun barked fin
ish-- and local defeat.
A fair game of basketball the To-
Gals were in better form than
against st. Cloud and romped with
the Benson bows throughout the
four quarters. Romping in with the
first score the locals were tied by
Benson early in the first quarter.
The first quarters tally found them
tied at four counters. Halftime
found little decision made by eth
er team as to which would walk
away with this ball game, for the
score stood throughout the inter-
mission at 1910. In the third quar-
ter Benson sneaked in little
ahead of the Harveymen when they
ran their tally to Is and left the To-
Gals trailing with II. In the last
quarter the locals took scoring
honors with four buckets to ad-
vance their total to 20. While Ben.
son took only six points, their
score was out in front by one point
at q.
Fouling was considerably heav-
Bodily contact was frequent and
pushing headed the list Of mis-
demeanors. Simonson, Bron. and
Richie, all Of the Benson squad,
were expelled from play with the
limit Of four fouls committed. While
the locals played a game quite de-
void of fouling, Brendon was high
on this count with 8 commitments.
1t was the old story that foul
shooting accurately accomplished
might have wrapped the game in
Benson fouling the locals were
privileged to shoot unhindered at
the basket 10 times, with only 6
connections. Which gives a per-
centage of 33. Brendon lead in
scoring honors with eight points
with three buckets and two con-
verified foul shots. Simonson Ben
son forward, traced his course up
to the last lap by getting six
points, and Arvig fell in line with
five points to his credit. Brendon
struck an extraordinary average
with his field shooting when in
four shots attempted he converted
three of them for an average per-
centage Of IS. But here again, his
percentage was the only one that
was high, and the locals dropped
in their percentage from the last
game. Against st Cloud they COM
pleted 1877 percent of shots attempt
