NEW ULM TRIPS
CARDS "a TO 20

Fighting until the final gun but
unable to make those last pre-
cious points the crippled Redwood
Falls Cardinals went down to de-
feat at the hands of the fast New
Ulm team 24-20 Friday night at
the Brown County Seat.
A re-vamped lineup took the
floor, with Captain "Cagey"
Thomson, who regularly plays
forward at the center position,
Paffrath and Asleson at forwards
and Russ Lauterbach and Neale
Serkland, playing his second
game, at guards.
Three minutes elapsed without
either team finding the hoop.
Then Precht, New Ulm forward,
swished one through the net to
start the scoring. Paul Asleson
tied the score with his now
famous lend zone" shot, only to
have Aufderheide, the Harmon
ties other forward, put them
ahead with two pretty buckets in
close order. Douglas Kusske, New
Ulm "Hot Shot," finished the
scoring for the first quarter, with
one from under the basket. Score
Redwood 2, New Ulm 8.
AsleSon again came to the res
cue, making two points right after
the start of the second period.
Thomson made a gift shot and
Lauterbach brought the score to
within one point Of the New Ulm
total with a semi-long shot that
swished through the net without
touching the rim. Precht was Civ
en- two free throws, when Thorn
son fouled him accidentally I'M
der his basket and made them
both. Kusske again found the
hoop with his eagle eye, and New
Ulm lead by five points.
Spelbrink was caught pushing
Paffrath while Bobby was in the
act of shooting and he made two
free throws, but missed the third
given him because of a technical
foul on the crowd for booing the
referee The half ended Redwood

It was tired but determined
Cardinal team that began the Sec
ond half. Kusske scored first with
a field goal to give New Ulm a five
point lead again but with what
seemed their second wind, the
Cardinals started a scoring squirt
which put them in the lead for
the first and only time during the
game. A basket by Paffrath, an
other by Thomson, a gift shot by
Paffrath and a field goal by Lau-
terbach accounted for the score
: Redwood 16, New Ulm IA.
Thomson fouled KusSke, who
made his free throw and Precht
made what might be termed a
lucky shot, to put the Cardinals
again on the short side of the
score by one point
The final period found Aufder-
heide hitting the mesh once more
for two points. Then Kusske made
a gift throw on ''Cagey" Thorn
sons fourth foul and he was re-
placed by Lussenhop. Spelbrink,
fouled by Asleson, made gift
shot and Lauterbach made the
first two points of the last quart
er for the Cardinals. Score Red
wood 18, New Ulm 81.
Aufderheide, still carrying the
horseshoe, swished through long
one and a sleeper shot by Lussen-
hop finished the scoring for Red
wood. Just as the final gun sound
ed, Kusske was fouled by Serk-
land and made one of the two
shots allotted him to bring New
Ulm's total to "a.
In what proved to some to be
an even more thrilling game, the
Redwood Falls Juniors nosed out
the New Ulm Juniors in the final
minute Of play Is to Ia. Always
in there fighting, the Redwood
Juniors kept their larger oppon-
ents from piling up a large score
and finally eked out a glorious
victory. Fine playing on the part
of Dickmeier, Duea, Lang, VOL
erton, Hoffman, Byram, Otto, and
Steele, who made the winning
basket, accounted for the victory.
