prove il, the downtrodden Scobey
Sundays rose out of the depths to
administer a basketball lesson to the
two leading teams in district one
last wick end. What appeared to be
an accident when the Sundogs
tripped Outlook on Friday night,
1916, proved TO be a reality when
,ley set the rampaging Wildcats
down % to q in a contest on the
Scobey floor Saturday night.
Scobey, pushed and buffeted
around by every team in the dist
riot, now looms as a new threat in
tourney play. In defeating the Wild
cats they played cool, aggressive
ball and capitalized on errors and
misplays made by the Cats TO earn
a decisive victory. Only twice during
the game were the Sundogs behind.

center TO start the scoring. Scobey

hit the net. 1t looked like the Wild
cats were themselves again as they
gradually crept up TO take the lead
at 1919, but as the half ended Kit
took Gagged another of his side swish
ars to put Scobey ahead where they
remained for the balance of the
game.
At the beginning of the second
half Kittock and mates showed the
fans what it meant TO really get
hot and at the end of the third per-
iod led 21-11. Coming u of their
dazed condition the Plentywoodites
finally discovered that they could
still pass the ball and in the last
three minutes of play chalked up
ten points but the rally started too
late and Scobey walked off the floor
victorious and truly deserving of
the title Giant Killers which was
formerly attached to the Wildcats.

fans say he is. He leads his team on
offense and defense and Saturday
scored 10 of his teams points. Scor-
